The Power of Self-Development and Deliberate Change

In this podcast episode, the speaker shares a personal anecdote about how reading Stephen Covey's 'Seven Habits of Highly Effective People' as a college student had a profound impact on his life. The idea that we can deliberately strive to become the best version of ourselves and have the power to change our lives was a revelation for him. Covey's concept of roles and goals encouraged him to clarify his goals in various aspects of his life and architect his life around them. This understanding of deliberate change and self-development set the speaker on a path of studying and teaching these ideas.
