Search - The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

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.

I read this for a class in grad. school- not my cup of tea- but I know that others love the Covey concepts!

A great book for anyone who aspires to be more effective in every walk of life. I've used Covey's 7 Habits in staff development for school personnel.

This book covered lots of aspects of everyday life.I found it very helpful in many different ways. It made me think of ways to improve all ways of life!

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
