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

Review

The late Skip LeFauve President, Saturn Corporation/General Motors Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People played a major role in the development of Saturn's operating systems and philosophy. Our commitment to quality and to our customers has its roots in The 7 Habits.

Ken M. Radziwanowski AT&T School of Business Picture someone going through the best experience they've ever had in terms of training -- that's what they say. People credit the 7 Habits with changing their lives, with getting back on track personally and professionally.

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.

Easy Read

ByABC_Shopperon May 29, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This was a good book. I chose to take my Time reading it so that I could let the chapters, principles and concepts sink in. I'll go back and spot read for completing my vision statement and prioritizing my quadrant two activities.

I'll definitely consciously incorporate these habits into my life.

Great book for success in living well

ByJames Petersonon August 1, 2016

Format: Kindle Edition with Audio/VideoVerified Purchase

I was captivated by this book. It is not a shortcut to success in our personnel and professional lives. It is a systematic process for living well. These 7 habits will never be mastered by anyone, but you can get better at each one. It takes time and effort to improve yourself and change your habits. This books gives you a system for doing this over time, not over night.

JIM COLLINS' FOREWORD AND THE COVEY FAMILY'S TRIBUTE MADE ME SHED TEARS

ByOreofeOluwakiitanon February 24, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read the 7 Habits a few years back and I got 'addicted' to Habit No.3 - Putting First Things First. I was full of expectancy when the 25th Anniversary edition was promoted long before it came out, I waited for it. I ordered twice from Amazon because the first order was not delivered (or may be returned to sender by our post office here). Though I have not finished reading this edition, however, the much I have read only helped to reinforced what I read years ago. Jim's summary of the 7 Habits as not only practical but profound in that these habits' emphasis is on building character rather than just attaining success is what I have experienced over the years and it is something I lay emphasis on in my teachings and interactions. The family's tribute confirmed what I have always told my audience about such a profound author (though I never met him in person not even when he visited Nigeria briefly, not due to anybody's fault but you know how you can be held hostage by your host in the name of security and safety) that Stephen Covey was a well rounded family man, spiritual, and a great teacher. Sleep well beloved.

Read this book in college, Loved it!

ByJames Annonon October 12, 2015

Format: Tankobon HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book will change your life!! I am in my 20's and read this book in college. It brought insight and from new points of views that I never knew existed before. Depending on where you are in life (career, college, high school) you will likely see thing from a different point of view as it relates to you, but there is sure to be something here for everyone.

I heard about this book as a must read along with other very inspiring books like The Millionaire Mentor, Limited Edition, The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo, and Bob Proctor's books, and other phenomenal books on leadership and entrepreneurship. This book is another must have and I recommend it to anyone!
