I haven't been through the whole book, but so far one thing is sticking out: the power of the 7 key concepts when making difficult decisions and communicating.
When I have to make a difficult decision or send a difficult email I make a concept and then I run it along a checklist with the 7 principles while asking myself whether it is in alignment with them.
As checklist I use the summary on the homepage of Steve's site:
Quote:
- Truth: Accept reality and rid your life of falsehood and denial
- Love: Improve your ability to connect with yourself and others
- Power: Build your motivation and discipline to create the life you desire
- Oneness: Stop fighting against resistance, and make the world your ally
- Authority: Take command of your life, and learn to make clear decisions
- Courage: Summon the inner strength to take action in spite of fear
- Intelligence: Live authentically, and express your genuine creativity

By using these principles as guidelines in a few real-life-messy-as-hell-situations, I found out how profound these principles are. Before that I had only intellectual appreciation for them.
