The 3rd Alternative: Solving Life's Most Difficult Problems, published in 2011, is a self-help book by Stephen Covey, also the author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In it, he takes a more detailed look at habit six from that book, "synergize".[1] Co-author Breck England stated that The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People leads up to The 3rd Alternative.[2] The book focuses on a process of conflict resolution that Covey said is distinct from compromise.[3] It gives details and real-world examples and ends with two chapters explaining that the 3rd Alternative is "a way of life".[1]
