Amazon.com Review
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

 Bible of all Self Help books January 7, 2009
I got this book as a gift from my friend who knew i was into self help books.I was told that i may find what i read in this book in other books but not the other way...In fact this is the best Self help book i ever read. Its not a book ,u read and forget ,its something you read often and try to implement in your daily life to be successful.
Awesome! Must Have! January 6, 2009
This is a must have book for anyone that likes self-help or business books. I read it several years ago and felt it was the like the Bible of all self-help books. I lost my copy so I bought it again and enjoyed it just as much. It has a lot of practical advice for anyone willing to listen to make their life more enjoyable and less stressful. I highly recomend 7 Habits for anyone, even if you generally don't read this type of book. Give it a try!
Powerful Lessons January 5, 2009
The lessons in this book are indeed powerful and effective, as the title and subtitle of the book suggests. Its no wonder this author sells in such high volumes. A must need book for anyone who wants to change their lives.
Hands down one of the best personal development books you will ever read January 4, 2009
This is a book you will want to read all the way through and then go back and work on each of the 7 habits individually. Dr. Covey is able to share the information in a practical way that can be applied to our personal life as well as family, business or any other relationships. The first 3 habits are personal and are part of the private victory, the next 3 habits deal with relationships and are part of the public victory. The last habit is self-renewal, the sharpening of the saw. There are so many nuggets of information in this book that you will find useful in your life. The concept of P/PC productivity, interdependency, emotional bank accounts, effective delegation and time management among others are covered in detail here. All the concepts and ideas presented in the book are based on sound principles and you will find that many of them find precedence in wisdom from the Bible. This book is a must-read in personal development and is one of my favorite books.
Still Believing in Leadership! December 27, 2008
Excellent book - would love to work for a company where the employees and the senior management team still believe in these basic principles. If you work for such a company and can use someone with 17 years of expertise as a Federal Agent with 5 of the most recent years in management, please send me an e-mail: smallwoodgirls@yahoo.com
