When I first read the 7th Habits of Highly Effective People I was amazed at how a slight shift in your thought process can make a huge shift in paradigms. When I saw that there was a workbook to compliment the text I quickly ordered it. I have found this workbook to be an effective way to put the lessons learned in the text to work for you. I am very please with purchase. This is an effective learning toll and highly recommend it to others.

The kindle version of this workbook is not worth buying because a lot of the book is comprised of tables and graphs which aren't readable with the kindle. I thought the kindle version would be workable in the sense you could actually write your entries in a separate notebook and just read the questions, but the missing table and graph content was a deal breaker for me.

A very interesting and practical workbook, but possession of the 7 Habits book itself is necessary to really appreciate the exercises.

The Kindle version of this workbook has tables and graphs that are so small and pixelated that you cannot read them. When you magnify the tables or graphs, you only seen bigger dots instead of letters, so you cannot discern what was written. In many parts, Covey says to look in the table and answer the question and workout your score. Since you cannot read what the graph or table says, then you cannot do the exercise in the workbook. It's like buying the print version of the book with all the tables and graphs blurred and unreadable. I think I should get a refund, or at least, they should format the kindle book so it's readable and replace them.

I am so glad I got this to accompany the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It is not just a reiterate what the book said. It really makes you stop and think about the questions, how you handled a situation and what you could have done different. I am taking this to heart not just reading, but really making a change.

I always go back to Covey when I am starting to have self doubt about myself in my decisions to stay motivated and on track. Why is it that in life we know the basics to succeed but it is not always easy to stay on track. He sets 7 basic habits that are so easy to follow. The book is powerful and very inspirational. Even after to have read the book you might always go back and read over the 7 steps just to give yourself a little push in your step for the day!

There is nothing in this wonderful book that is enlightening but it makes the reader quicly realize that management and leadership are achievable by anyone who cares to master them.

I don't think Covey wrote this workbook himself.

The writing style is not "Coveyist" at all.

This book has nothing new to say. 7 habits become old, boring habits, without new perspectives or insights to the readers.

It is time for Covey to really think Win/Win with his readers. Write more good books. Not just do too much out-sourcing or sub-contracting in writing.

Practice the Law of the Harvest that he always preaches. He will reap what he has sowed.

I purchased this book, along with it's workbook, to enhance my supervisory skills. The book not only helps improve my working techniques, but also sharpens my skills at home, as Mother and Friend.

My husband is reading this book now and can not stop talking about it. He says he will be able to apply some of his reading to real life. Sounds good to me!
