“[Thirty] years after it first appeared, the wisdom of The 7 Habits is more relevant than ever. On an individual level people are burning out, and on a collective level we are burning up the planet. So Dr. Covey’s emphasis on self-renewal and his understanding that leadership and creativity require us to tap into our own physical, mental, and spiritual resources are exactly what we need now.” Arianna Huffington

A framework for better living

Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2023

Stephen Covey's "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" isn't your typical self-help book—it's a life philosophy. The seven habits form a roadmap for success in both personal and professional life, blending ancient wisdom with a modern approach.

Here's a quick rundown of the habits:

Be Proactive: Take charge of your life, don't just react to it. Focus on what you can control and take initiative.

Begin with the End in Mind: Craft a vision for your life to guide your decisions. Think of it as creating a blueprint before building a house.

Put First Things First: Prioritize effectively using Covey's Time Management Matrix. Focus on what's urgent and important.

Think Win-Win: Seek mutually beneficial solutions in your interactions, promoting cooperation and fairness.

Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Practice empathic listening before sharing your own perspective. Understand before being understood.

Synergize: Value teamwork and collaboration, recognizing that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Sharpen the Saw: Continuously renew and improve yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

Remember, it's not about reaching a destination but enjoying the journey of learning and growth. Embrace these habits, and you'll lead a more fulfilling and impactful life.

Implementing the Ideas

Implementing these habits requires time, space, and a flexible mindset. Perfection isn't the goal—focus on progress and growth each week, month, and year. We offer free tools and resources for implementation on our 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Implementation page.

Here's a quick overview of the tools and a potential implementation path:

1. Understand Public/Private Victory: Master the model, realizing that conquering personal challenges precedes success in the public sphere.

2. Define Core Life Objectives: Use the "funeral exercise" to identify what matters most to you in the grand scheme of your life.

3. Evaluate Locus of Control: Assess your centered-ness to understand where you stand in terms of control over your life.

4. Manage Time Effectively: Analyze your time usage to ensure alignment with your major life goals.

5. Set Role-Based Goals: Align your goals with your identity, focusing on the most crucial aspects.

6. Build Meaningful Relationships: Use the Emotional Bank Account Deposit Planner to invest time where it matters most.

7. Navigate Challenges: Employ the "Third Way" worksheet to understand others' perspectives and find solutions in challenging situations.

8. Prioritize Self-Care: Plan intentional time for self-improvement using the Sharpen the Saw worksheet.

Effort/Benefit Analysis:
- Scope: Personal, Family, Friendships, Organization
- Level of Effort: Daily/Weekly/Monthly Habits
- Areas of Effect: Personal Effectiveness, Relationships, Influence, Fitness

Remember, it's a journey toward higher effectiveness, and each step contributes to your overall growth.

Taking the Bull by the Horns!

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2008

The premise of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is that there are 7 habits which can dramatically improve a person's professional and social life. These habits include: 1. Be proactive. 2. Begin with the end in mind. 3. Put first things first. 4. Think win/win. 5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. 6. Synergize. 7. Sharpen the saw.

Covey's philosophy of using honest open communication, fairness, integrity and human dignity as a baseline in all relationships is sound powerful advice. The book is well written with excellent insights and wisdom.

Bahnbrechende Weisheit für persönlichen Erfolg

Reviewed in Germany on January 18, 2024

Verified Purchase

"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" von Stephen Covey ist zweifellos ein zeitloses Meisterwerk, das die Essenz persönlicher und beruflicher Effektivität einfängt. Die sieben Gewohnheiten, die Covey vorschlägt, sind nicht nur praktisch, sondern auch tiefgreifend in ihrer Anwendung.

Covey beginnt damit, die Leser dazu zu ermutigen, ihre eigene Mentalität und Sichtweise zu überdenken. Er betont die Bedeutung von proaktiver Selbstführung und Eigenverantwortung als Grundlage für persönlichen Erfolg. Die Idee, die Dinge in unserem Einflussbereich zu kontrollieren und positive Veränderungen zu bewirken, hat einen nachhaltigen Einfluss.

Die weiteren sechs Gewohnheiten bauen darauf auf, von der Priorisierung des Wichtigen vor dem Dringenden bis hin zu den Grundsätzen der Win-Win-Zusammenarbeit und der kontinuierlichen Selbstverbesserung. Jede Gewohnheit wird durch Fallbeispiele, Übungen und klare Anleitungen unterstützt, was das Buch zu einem praktischen Leitfaden macht.

Die universelle Anwendbarkeit der Prinzipien auf verschiedene Lebensbereiche, sei es persönlich oder beruflich, macht dieses Buch besonders wertvoll. Coveys Betonung von Werten und moralischer Integrität fügt eine ethische Dimension hinzu, die oft in Selbsthilfebüchern fehlt.

Insgesamt ist "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" ein Meilenstein in der Literatur der persönlichen Entwicklung. Die klaren Einsichten und die praxisnahe Herangehensweise machen es zu einer wertvollen Ressource für jeden, der nach nachhaltigem Erfolg und persönlichem Wachstum strebt.

Mind Blowing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 30, 2023

Verified Purchase

I genuinely think that this book should be in the hands of every school and workplace. The world would be in better shape.

Not at all self helpy like I thought it was going to be. Straight to the point and makes you ask yourself some difficult questions. The way Stephen makes you realise that your actions, even small ones, are allowing everyone else to control your life is phenomenal. Really played to my stubborn and independent side and a complete paradigm shift for me. I'm getting my circle of influence well in check!

Nice added material from Sean Covey too. I'll be ordering his teen version of the book for my sons!
