About this listen
A legacy work from the multimillion copy best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People -hailed as the #1 Most Influential Business Book of the Twentieth Century - The 3rd Alternative introduces a breakthrough approach to conflict resolution and creative problem solving. One of Time magazine’s 25 most influential Americans, Dr. Stephen R. Covey has helped millions transform their lives. In The 3rd Alternative Covey turns his formidable insight to creative problem solving, presenting a powerful new way to resolve professional and personal difficulties and create solutions to great challenges in organizations and society.
The 3rd Alternative transcends the traditional solutions to conflict - my way or your way - by forging a path toward a creative solution - a third option - that is far better than what either party proposes. Covey profiles in this work a wide range of innovative 3rd Alternative thinkers in fields including business, politics, law, education, policing, health, and family. Through stories and examples, Covey tells listeners how to build strong relationships with diverse individuals based on the notion of winning together and demonstrates how this can generate innovative solutions and growth.
Beyond compromise, beyond mediation, The 3rd Alternative represents a radical, creative new way of thinking. Dr. Covey considers this his legacy work - a groundbreaking, but practical work that demonstrates why 3rd Alternative thinking represents the supreme opportunity of our time.

For business leaders and public figures in any arena, The Speed of Trust offers an unprecedented and eminently practical look at exactly how trust functions in our every transaction and relationship - from the most personal to the broadest, most indirect interaction - and how to establish trust immediately so that you and your organization can forego the time - killing, bureaucratic check - and - balance processes so often deployed in lieu of actual trust.

Story
Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

either of us could review this book....
but together we could write a review better than either of us could have ever thought of in the beginning.
listen with the intent to understand, not with the intent to reply.

Good text, Poor performance
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes. As a follow up to Seven Habits, this book is a deep dive on working in a synergistic way. It touches on a lot of the same themes as habits 4,5,6; but gives a specific technique and several strategies for putting it into place.
Unfortunately the text is a bit over-written; Covey's concision is missing and this book could probably be trimmed by about 15%.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Covey has a wide range of examples of his technique and strategies. While most were interesting, some of them were a bit redundant. In my opinion, it would have been better to have more detail on fewer examples.
There was also a good deal of lauding of the technique, which I found superfluous.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Breck England?
Breck speaks slowly, but not clearly. His tone was a bit too dramatic for this text. As the text seemed a bit over-written, Breck's performance underscored these flaws.
It was odd to hear Scott Brick read non-fiction, but he brought an efficiency and weight to "Salt Sugar Fat" that would work wonders here.
Did The 3rd Alternative inspire you to do anything?
I have incorporated Covey's technique in conversation and strategy sessions at work. It has been useful in conflict resolution.
Any additional comments?
Breck England would be much better doing true crime non-fiction or something with dramatic heft.

Let's find middle ground
The overall theme and vignettes were great...the habit of releasing the tag line phrases got a little annoying though.

Hard to listen to.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator tried to sound like Stephen Covey but his lows were too low and I found myself adjusting the volume throughout.

Another Covey success.
Once again Mr. Covey does a wonderful job of explaining his philosophy. He cites known and unknown examples of his philosophy in practice.

This book teaches you how to be a better person, a better coworker, a better manager, a better citizen, a better husband or wife, a better student. This book shows you how to proceed when you are not satisfied with the appearent dilemas.

Principles to know and use.
Lots of good information to reflect on and live by. It would be great to have the main principles printed on a poster to hang on my wall and to send to our leaders.
