Effective and Practical

This review is from: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change (Audio Book (Cassette))

I doubt that my review can do this book justice! Published almost 20 years ago... these principles are as sound today as any other time in human history. This is a classic and a must read book for anyone looking at improving his or her own life. One of my mentors recommended this book and after reading it, I understand clearly what makes individuals successful. Beyond simply making sense… it is easy to apply these habits as part of our daily experience. My personal favorite habit is to “begin… + read more

Inspiring and In Depth

This review is from: Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change (Trade Paperback)

Covey touches on topics from running a business, improving a business to teaching children and building a strong family. His lessons can be tailored for many situations. This one is a double reader-at least, to really get what he is saying ingrained into you head. Turn it into a habit!

Came highly recommended to me but I couldn't get into it

7 months ago

This book came highly recommended to me by several different people so when I purchased this book my expectations were already very high. Maybe because of that I didn`t enjyoy this as much as I maybe might have. I found Stephen`s writing to be very heavy and thick. His ideas didn`t come accross as easy to understand as I would have hoped. Now I did read this when I was a lot younger. When I have more time I`ll try re-reading it and seeing if I still feel the same way.

this was one of the worst books I ve ever read full of hallow stories and commonsense that if you didn't know before reading this book how did you make to the book store in the first place to buy it. A lot of companies recommend reading this book it you get stuck having to read this crap all you really need to read is the first few paragraphs of each chapter that's where all the important info is after that it gets in to badly written stories.

Thought-provoking

3 years ago

This is a thought-provoking book based on clear principles that can guide us in managing our time. There are many wise ideas contained in the pages of this book. As an example, I learned that efficiency is something that is appropriate with tasks but with people especially family members you can't be efficient and slot people in as you think best. Instead it is about effectiveness. So you have to give family members the time they need. Another gem is that you can't balance life at times… + read more

A Highly Effective Book

This review is from: Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change (Trade Paperback)

This book is a must for anyone interested in personal enrichment. It deals with the internal mechanisms of human behaviour. It challenges the reader to leave behind the "wrong thinking" that prevents most of us from achieving real fulfillment in our daily lives. A good book for anyone who needs just a little encouraging. A good book for anyone who wants more out of life!
