Get two copies - one to keep, one to loan out! January 9, 1997
Stephen Covey has revolutionized the science of self-improvement by exposing the principles underlying the practices taught in all the other books. The principles he has outlined improve every aspect of life and follow a logical progression from dependence through independence to interdependence, each step building on the last. The Seven Habits embody the notion that self-improvement is an ongoing task, that whatever you do - no matter how well you do it - can be done a little better next time. If you have not yet had the chance to read this book, you owe it to yourself to get a copy now. I purchased several copies so that I can loan them out to friends - you will too
One of the Best Books on any Subject September 27, 1996

This is one of the best books I've ever read. Period!The principles are timeless... and they work! This book should be in every library. While most books on personal development and success principles are hacking at branches, Covey strikes at the roots. He describes powerfully how character is the core trait of success--lasting success! This is the book that I give to all the people who I care about most. A true landmark!
 Universal Truth September 3, 1996

Covey's Seven Habits, at times, warmed me from the inside out as if it were teaching universal truths. Although at times I felt like I was back in Psych 101 it maintained a warm feel to it's principles. I would encourage anyone to read it but do not expect to read it quickly. It is much more enjoyable and beneficial to bite and chew a little each day.

I wish this book was required for life like air is for breathing. The Seven Habits (which has sold close to onegajillion copies, at last count) have become so immensely popular for one very good reason--they work. The more you think about Covey's words, the more the truth of them sinks in. Covey starts by asking his readers to invest in character rather than personality, then takes the reader on a wholistic journey to find out what's really important to him/her. No, there's no metaphysical sojourn and we never see Shirley MacLaine, but Covey does ask the reader to ask some serious questions. With those answers, he helps you build a life focused on the values you have chosen and guided by the principles that lead us all. Career management, time control, priorities, family, career, leisure, friends--it's all in here. The Seven Habits are all about becoming the best person you can be, starting first with independence, then working toward interdependence. Covey may not be the most interesting writer in the world, but the message he brings is far too important to miss. If you're not afraid to find out about yourself and have the courage to change yourself into the best person you can be, do yourself an incredible favor and read this book.
