The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

by Stephen R. Covey

Anyone who thinks the audiocassette adaptation of Stephen Covey's bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, is a shortcut to reading the book has another thing coming. As a preview, the cassette is worth every one of its 90 minutes; as a substitute for the original, it will only leave you wishing for the rest.

Excellent book

Had the honor of seeing Stephen Covey this last May in 2006. He is very good at motivating people. He makes you want to go out and change your life to the way you really want it to be. I bought this book and the CD's for my husband and I. I would purchase this as a gift for another.
Fitting the pieces

I've read lots of book of this type and this is one of the ones I liked better. So many books give you only some quick hints and pieces without any conexion between them. This is just the book I was searching for, it helps you to fit all that different pieces that didn't seem to fit anywhere.
Life Changing!

Incredible

This book is simply incredible. It's all about doing the right things the right way, which also turns out to be the most effective way in the long run. I encourage anyone and everyone to read this book. But if you read it like a novel you could potentially miss out on everything in it that is of true value. So I would say read it and read it well.
This could change your life !

Great book - several practical tools for organising life and work, but more importantly, this can really help with clarification of your values and if you are willing to go there, it might actually change your life ! Covey's book looks at analysing your values and beliefs and deciding on your mission statement - a really worthwhile thing to do. Buy it, read it, live it !
