The 3rd Alternative  (English, Paperback, Covey Stephen R.)

The 3rd Alternative: Solving Life’s Most Difficult Problems, by Stephen R. Covey, is a book that focuses on the best ways to resolve conflicts in life.

Summary of the Book

In any conflict, it is usually believed that there are two alternatives – the first being the personal alternative and the second being the other person’s alternative. It always comes down to an argument as to whose way is better among the two. But Stephen, in this book, attempts to introduce readers to a third alternative, which draws the best from both sides of a debate and ignore the negatives from both the parties. It helps in the emergence of a whole new place from a mere debate, where everyone is a winner and the conflict is also resolved. The 3rd Alternative signifies a completely new way of thinking that will be incorporated not only by his ardent fans, but also by anyone who seeks resolution in their professional and private lives.
