Three Resolutions David C Palmer

David Palmer is a long-time and dedicated student of the works of Dr Stephen R Covey, and was particularly struck by the 'Three Resolutions', which Covey wrote briefly about in his book, 'Principle-Centered Leadership'. It was the shortest chapter, but very powerful. Here, the author covers the history of the '3R' concept and its development from its religious origins as 'The Three Temptations' into its latter, secular form as the Three Resolutions, and then expands upon and systemises them into a set of foundational principles for living. This book includes a section on how the Three Resolutions fit together in a progressively developmental fashion, and advice on how to manage your time in an effort to execute on them. The author describes how trying to live in accordance with them affected his own life - and how long it took. The book also includes a series of exercises to help the development of the reader's own approach to the Three Resolutions, and a process for designing a personal mission statement that follows the 3R template.
