The 7 Habits of ... exactly what are we trying to become?

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was a phenomenon when first published, and continues to be a respected book. At the start of the new year, reflecting on what I might like to accomplish, I found myself thinking about that book and wondering, "Effective at what?" With that thought in mind, here are some other topics I would like to understand:

• The 7 Habits of Highly Compassionate People
• The 7 Habits of Highly Hopeful Realists
• The 7 Habits of Excellent Friends
• The 7 Habits In Marriages That Go The Distance
• The 7 Habits of Peacemakers
• The 7 Habits of Joyful People
• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Parents

I'd be glad to hear of other peoples' wish lists there.
