He describes the concept of inside out by including experiences on primary and secondary greatness, the aspect of seeing and being, and the perspective of people towards a problem and their solution to it. The actual difference in the life of people as Covey argues does not necessarily come from the outside in but in essence from the inside out.

In this part, Covey states that people tend to see the massive success of their fellow friends and feel the urge to find out how their friend did it nursing the idea that they also, could follow a similar process like a quick bullet list and succeed.

Covey states that a majority of people seek to have quick fixes to their problems rather than follow the working channels of problem-solving.
