 Taking the Bull by the Horns! 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.
The Re-Discovery of Common Sense: A Guide to: The Lost Art of Critical Thinking

The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People is definitely one of the better self-help / improvement books on the market. All the information contained in the book is quite accurate and pertinent. With other self-help books I've read, some of the information has proved useful while a lot of it is rather superfluous, as if included simply to 'pad out' the book.
That is not the case with this classic book. A must read for all looking to improve themselves and their lives.

Something Everyone should read June 4, 2008

- Very helpful in breaking down common misconceptions of how people succeed or don't succeed in life.
- This book can be applied to anyone's life, job, skillset, etc...
- Much of what is in this book can be considered common sense to me, but Dr. Covey does a great job in putting this common sense in understandable language.
- I'd recommend this book especially for anyone functioning in a business capacity, or politicians (especially politicians). Today's politicians are out of tune with the Character Ethic.

Give direction to you life May 24, 2008

I have had this book on my reading list for a while. This books has been a valuable catalyst in my personal development. On one hand there is very little that is shocking. As the author freely admits, he does not consider the principles that these habits embody to be his, but universal. While I think most people will find an innate understanding of each of these habits, Stephen Covey is blessed with an ability to clearly explain them in a way that will help you grow if you chose to follow them.
You do not have to be unhappy with your life, job or marriage to find benefit in this book. What the book helped me with was to make clear to where I needed to improve. Although Stephen Covey is a religious man, he had written the book in such a way that can be approached and understood by anyone from the atheist, to the agnostic and the religious man.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a direction or approach to give their life more mean and purpose.
