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.

A great read for anyone!

ByTravMPon July 12, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

What a fantastic read. I highly suggest this book to anyone regardless of whether or not you think you could benefit from such a read. This book contains many powerful lessons in regard to personal change and human development. This is an inspirational and educational book that gives the reader principles and habits that can be used on a daily basis to help any individual become a more successful person in the business world and have a much more productive lifestyle. This book has a large quantity of motivational quotes from scholars all over the world. Anyone could benefit from learning more about one of the following principles.

1 - "Be proactive" - which is described as, human beings are responsible for our own lives and our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions (Covey, 1989).

2 - "Begin with the end in mind" - This is based on the principle that all things are created twice...there is a mental creation first and then a physical creation to all things (Covey, 1989).

3 - "Put first things first" - Which means to manage your life effectively - from a center of sound principles, morals, and knowledge of your personal missions.

4 - "Think win/win" - This habit focuses on seeing things from a mature and 3rd person perspective. Learn to see problems from other points of view and see how to solve them in the most effective manner.

5 - "Seek first to understand, then to be understood" - This habit focuses on how to be an effective listener and use empathy while communicating with others.

6 - "Synergize" - This habit is, "effectiveness in an interdependent reality - it is teamwork, teambuilding, the development of unity and creativity with other human beings" (Covey, 1989).

7 - "Sharpen the saw" - This habit is "preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you have - you...It is renewing the four dimensions of your nature - physical, spiritual, mental, and social/emotional" (Covey, 1989).

Excellent Read--VERY Inspring!

ByShellby Paulon January 7, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

When I first received this book I was very excited due to its reputation and recommendations. Text was easy to read, and content was easy to follow and comprehend. I was very intrigued by the overviews and synopsis it correlated with "effective." I would recommend this to people who are looking for some motivation, or need help in becoming organized. I can say it escalated my work ethic, and work quality. This would make a perfect gift for that graduate who is ready, or needs help becoming ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work.

e-Book Version from Amazon Problematic

ByAmazon Customeron January 3, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I am happy with the book thus far, but I have a problem with the e-book version I bought on Amazon for my Kindle. The text size of tables (e.g. the table tabulating the different types of "centres" and their concomitant "wisdoms," "security," "guidance," and "power") are too small to read - it appears as if tables have been scanned in as images (they are also more grey in colour than the normal text and slightly blurred). Changing the text size on my Kindle doesn't change the text size of the table. I also cannot zoom in on the image, whether on my Kindle of smartphone. Resultantly, I am not finding the book pleasurable to read - but this is not a fault of the author, but rather Amazon.
