Hulbert, Ph.D.\n7/5/2023\nAfter refamiliarizing myself with the concepts of Stephen R. Covey’s landmark book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, through the concise exclusive book summary, I was impressed with the similarity of many of the concepts in my book Drivers’ Ed for the Brain. The main purpose of this article is to share some of those similarities in the two books. Prior to presenting those comparisons, I am sharing the forward of the Drivers Ed book written by my dear friend and mentor Dr. Virgil A Wood.  Following the comparison of the concepts of the two books, the conclusion of the article is a description of the impact of the Driver's Ed book on the a middle-aged college student, helping to bring about a transformation in her life into a higher quality state of being as described in a Quadrant 2 approach to life as described in the 7 Habits.\n\"The idea of Drivers’ Ed for the Brain delights me to no end. A novel approach to engaging the interest, particularly of our young, and how they might get better control of their own behavior and has some idea of its fundamentals. For many people, driving a vehicle is a source of greater freedom and opportunity. Dr. Hulbert's book is like engaging manual for experiencing that greater freedom to find increased peace and joy into our lives. Through stories, enlightening metaphors, and practical examples, this book serves as a personal driving coach for both safety and soaring on our journey of life. I highly recommend it to all, young and old alike.\"\nDr. Virgil A. Wood, ten-year working associate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and author of In Love We Still Trust: Lessons we learned from Martin Luther King, Jr. and Sr.\nSimilar Concepts in Both Books\nComparison #1\n7 Habits,  page. 8:   Albert Einstein: “The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them.”\nDrivers’ Ed.,  p. 60:  “I want to share with you now a concept that has been one of the most helpful things I have ever learned. When your moods are up and you are experiencing a pleasant and peaceful feeling, you are actually more wise and intelligent than when you feel upset and under a lot of pressure. As shown in the diagram, as our mood goes down, our perspective and vision narrows. I like to think of the narrowing the vision as giving increasingly tighter sensations or feedback that our vision is in fact becoming more narrow. I want to emphasize that the smaller the vision, the 'dimmer 'our intellect. To put it bluntly, the lower our moods, the dumber we become. The trouble is we get too dumb to know that we are dumb!”\nComparison #2\n7 Habits, page 13: \"Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.\"\nDrivers' Ed. page 26: \"It was a tremendously freeing experience to realize that much of my feeling of being out of control and anxious was not from my circumstances, but was from the direction I was leaning mentally.\"\nComparison #3\n7 Habits, page 14: \"A serious problem with reactive language is that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.\"\nDrivers' Ed: page 39-40: \"Ancient decaying matter is what produces these fossil fuels, and we fuel our being with these fuels when we are dwelling on ugly and painful memories from the past. In contrast to physical fossil fuels, which are dead and decaying, we have the ability with mental fossil fuels to bring those old dinosaurs back to life. What you think about grows and not only can bring these dinosaurs back to life, but by regularly thinking about them, they grow from small to huge, and then they seem to follow us wherever we go.\"\n\"The last of the three fuels is called the fuel of imagination, and is what we fuel our beings with as we are overly focused on the 'what-ifs' of the future. We have probably all had our imaginations run away with this at times.
