Stephen Covey's self help books are rooted in Principles as he himself distinguishes the two genres based on the Personality ethic and the Character ethic.
Also there is a progressive nature in his theories in that they proceed from the mastery of the self first and then the mastery of other things. Perhaps the most important and the least understood are the paradigms of dependence, independence and interdependence in ascending order. Many are still rooted in a paradigm of independence whereas a paradigm of interdependence is a solution to many of the problems that afflict humanity today. Above all his is a philosophy that advocates reform from within than a sham outward improvement of the personality for personal ends.
