The eighth habit is to "Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs". Some versions of the book come with a DVD, although all the short films on this DVD can be viewed via Covey's website. The book is divided into two sections, with the first few chapters focusing on finding your voice, while the later chapters are about inspiring others to find their voice. Most of the chapters in the book include a section discussing one of the 'stories' from the DVD, which are intended to illustrate the theme of the chapter (for example the story of Helen Keller and another about the Berlin Wall).
The book talks of "5 Cancerous Behaviors" (page 135) that inhibit people's greatness:
- Criticism
- Complaining
- Comparing
- Competing
- Contending
