Search - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

This is THE CLASSIC in its field; the original before everything else starting getting "7 habits" attached to it. Covey did his best work in the first book, the rest are sort of like reheated leftovers if you've heard the original.
Very useful, practical techniques to get control of your life instead of letting life get control of you.

This has to be one of the worst books I was ever forced to read. I used to read to help me fall asleep. Boring and obvious information.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges.
Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more.

This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you'll probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you'll feel like you've taken a powerful seminar by Covey. --Joan Price

This is basically a book on behaviors and habits that successful people share and whom were studied by the author, Stephen R. Covey. This book is insightful and filled with interesting bits and tids on ways to improve ourselves and become better persons.

If you've never read this, you should! It sounds like an efficiency manual, but it's about living with some balance & grace in your life.

Recommended by my mentor. Everyone should benefit from these universal principles.
A way to redirect your life or at least confirm you are on the right track.
