Editorial Reviews

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

This book will change the way you look at life.

ByLAon April 2, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is, hands down, one of the best and most powerful books I've ever read in my life. I have recommended it to countless people. The fact that you're seeking it out says volumes about your level of self-awareness as it is and this book builds on that. Very seldom do books really make me get involved when I read them, but this book made me break out my highlighter and notepad. There was so much good stuff I just had to take notes I could quickly reference. You know how some books make you say things out loud? You'll read something and say, "YES! EXACTLY!" or read something profound and just sit dumbfounded, going "Wow," and you have to take a moment to reflect on it? This book is full of moments like that.

There is a lot of practical stuff in here, too. Challenges for you. Ways you can start to shift your thinking by taking an emotional inventory of your life and what you're doing/feeling every day. Just writing about it makes me want to go back and read it again. If you're here looking for a book that will help you harness that little spark inside of you that's saying, "You can be better" then this book is it. You're not an animal. Life doesn't condition you like a dog. This book is about the untouchable part of your human spirit that no one besides you controls. This book is about carrying sunny weather with you where ever you go, learning how much a proactive attitude benefits you, and really how sad and wasteful it is to walk through life allowing things to ruin your day. Things don't ruin your day. YOU ruin your day. You are always in control.

Seriously, read this book. You won't regret it.

This book is great and one of the classics

ByAmazon Customeron September 18, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition with Audio/VideoVerified Purchase

This book is great and one of the classics. I would give it 5 stars if it is better proofed. There are mentioned a few times in the book that there is an appendix for more information about the topics, but there is no appendix in the Kindle version, even with full text search I couldn't find it. It might be that the appendix is removed in this version or it was not properly edited. Either way is a confusing, hope this will be fixed with an update but not a new edition.

The best!

ByAmazon Customeron October 9, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition with Audio/VideoVerified Purchase

I read a lot of non fiction books and this one is by far one of the best I've read in a very long time! The 7 habits can be applied in our everyday life to make it meaningful and worth living! It's not a book you just read and go on with, it's the kind of book you keep along and re-read over and over again to make sure you are progressing!

One of the best classic books you will ever read. It can be applied to any goal you want to read in any area: child rearing, business, financial goals, spiritual/ self improvement goals. No brainer. Required reading for anyone that has any goals in life.

There really not much left to say here. If you are thinking about buying this book, just do it. You will find information in here that is applicable to your life and Covey relates well to his readers. I'm honestly surprised your still reading this review.

Great read and if you apply yourself, in can positively impact your life and those around you!

ByRLon April 12, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This is a great book! I had to read it for a college course and I thought oh great, another book that has all of these claims! Boy was I wrong! This is a great read and can truly be life changing if you apply yourself! It truly opens up your eyes and gets your mind going. At the end of each chapter there are activities or questions that help you apply the habits. Even if you don't follow this book to a tee, you still greatly benefit from reading it! I am not a huge novel reader and I was sucked into it! It has helped me personally and professionally! It has helped me to see things from a different prospective and brought many things to light that I once overlooked!

Truly an awesome book

ByLynnon April 14, 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

First of all, I'm not a scholar or a gifted person. I'm a family man who loves his wife and children and is looking to be a little better. I'm from a middle income family. My parents both worked and did the best they knew to do. What I didn't get or didn't have enough sense to learn is the 7 habits listed in this book. I got some of them but not all or didn't get them in a format that I could recognize. So take this review for it is - free advice, sometimes free is good, sometimes it's not.

As we get older we get introspective or at least I have. You start asking what you have done right, what you have done wrong and what you can do to make your life and your families' life better. That's where this book helps. I've read this book well over a dozen times. I listen to the audio version, on a regular basis, and diligently work to apply these principles in my life. The 7 habits Dr. Covey lists are core principles that envelope life. If you follow these principles everyday then you will find a better life. Most people, I've noticed, are always looking for peace and these principles, if applied, can give some peace. Now some readers will immediately scoff that this book can bring you peace and the only book, that can do that is the bible. I agree with that as well but the 7 habits are biblically based. However, they come in an easy to read format. They're life lessons that if everyone followed it would benefit all of us, just like the bible. It provides a structured approach to all of life's problems and / or situations. Now, I'm not saying this is the greatest written book of all time and it doesn't approach the magnitude of the bible. What I am saying is the principles, if applied, will change your life.

Like I said above, take my advice for what it is, free. I'm someone who's tried to look inside and didn't always like what he saw. So I looked elsewhere for guidance and this is one of the best that I've found.

Well what an amazing book and a great must read!

ByLeighon April 4, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I can assure you with this book in each chapter there has been something I have taken and having implemented I am already noticing the effects that I am sure will only become more prominent from here. It’s a book that I will with out a doubt re-read, as its principles it shares are timeless.
