I like this review on Amazon which shows each of the 12 steps and gives a nice summary

Write Your Own History: Rescue Leadership of your “I” – First law for quality of life – First week of program

5… we always end up dividing among ourselves. The paranoia of wanting to lord over others and the idealogical, economic and physical warfare are a reflection of a sick and divided species. 6. … in the theater of our mind we are all the same. 7. We have cultural differences, but the phenomenon constructing chain of thought and which transform emotional energy are exactly the same for every human being.

8. Perhaps you haven’t heard, but becoming passionate about life and the human are fundamental conditions to achieve a high quality of life and acquire wisdom. 9. Please always remember this: i. The life beating within us, independently of our errors, successes, status and culture, is a unique gem in the theater of existence. ii. Each human being is a world to explore, a history waiting to be understood, soil to be cultivated.

The most important problem is that the majority of people don’t develop a critical “I”, lucid, coherent and capable of making correct decisions at the right time.

We should get out of the audience, get up on the stage of our thoughts and emotions, and direct our story.

When our instincts control our intelligence, fear, anger, and anxiety drive us to react without thinking.

… in an environment where it isn’t possible to think clearly, the best response is to give none. Use the wiseness of silence. 58. … The worst errors we commit in the first 30 seconds of a stressful situation. (Breathe Deeply!!!)

62. Only someone who leads themselves is capable of maintaining the muscular coordination and the serenity to start writing en a moment when a death sentence hangs in the balance. (In the eye of the hurricane)

71. The best way to disarm an aggressor is to oblige him to open the fan of his intelligence and surprise him, being it with silence, a compliment or some unexpected attitude… The next time you are in a tight situation, don’t feel required to give an immediate response, decide to become silence’s best friend.
