    Summary: A grab bag of good advice on how to get your life organised

    Things that were good:

    * Several of the ideas in this book have stuck with me and continued to be referenced throughout my career/personal life

    Things that could have been better:

    From memory, it comes off as a bit Christian/family-values which might turn a few people off. Perhaps he could have de-emphasized some of those elements to make the book more relatable for people that don't share his background.


    Highlight: Emotional bank account is probably one of the ideas that I've got the most leverage out of.

    This book is simply amazing. I'm even inclined to say that I enjoyed it more than "Think and Grow Rich," which I thought was impossible to beat. I highly recommend it. Full of wisdom, insights on family values, personal leadership and so much more, this book should be required reading for all.

    Deserved Classic

    I somehow managed to miss this one. So far, it's really thought-provoking. I'm a big believer in taking responsibility for your own life, so lots of it is resonating with me.

    Update: finished it yesterday. Some real pearls of wisdom here. I'm already putting some of the listening techniques to good use. A bit repetitive in places, but I can see why it's a classic.

    I have read this book since about 10 years ago, which is one book that is very good in uplifting terms about the personality I have ever met.Finished reading it, I bought about 6 pieces more, then I gave it to my sister & close friends.In overall, the book is very good because:* A clear systematic discussion* Writing style that is easily understood* Clarified by using the analogy, many case examples, drawing diagrams, etc.* Comprehensive coverage of our selfhoodI am sure this book will be very useful for everyone who reads it.

    Clear, concise, and to the point. It's no wonder this is a classic. Each of the 7 habits is explained well, with a relevant story to illustrate each one. I'm certain I will return and review this until these become my personal habits.

    This book was important for me because it inspired me when I was becoming a coach. It also reinforces the important lessons about the importance of discipline in becoming successful.

    A great book. It invites us to think deeply about our goal in life and cultivate habits that will aid us in achieving it across all our life roles.

    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.

    Not a big fan of either mormons or their management books. Not as badly written as the out of the box book, but the constant harping on about church, and higher callings is really offputting. Im not sure I agree with his ideas, and some of them are so common sense I find it hard to believe that they are sold under such great fanfare.

    I don't normally read self-help books, partly because I didn't need any help, but after I picked up The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and read through it, I realized it wasn't all just self-help.In Seven Habits, Covey doesn't give a feel-good panacea for all your troubles. Instead, he introduces habits that you must develop if you want to improve your interpersonal skills.The habits themselves make sense, but applying them to your daily life is the challenge. Though, if you're applying them just to be more effective, and not to actually be a better person, you're missing the point.Recommended for business managers and others who wish to make people feel good in their presence.

    Learned how valuable time is wasted on things that seem urgent, but not important. Now I manage my time along the principles in this book. I allocate time based on my values and goals and less on the demands of others--far, far less on those who don't value my time.

    The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - What a friggin' snoozefest full of tautologies, mis-quoted quotes by famous people, and the most painfully boring, rambling anecdotes.
  • Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
    5/5
    The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges. Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more.

    If I was asked to recommend one self help book to improve your whole life this would be it. Its easy to read and the suggestions are not hard to implement. It deserves a couple of reads one, to get and overview and another slower read to implement change.

    Disappointing in a way. Some good points, but the good advice is scattered between long-winded buzzspeak. The stories are the weakest part. All the people involved talk exactly like the author and the situations are stretched. There's little, if any, followup with the people who "sudden stand up during meeting x and see the light" to see if it really helped or if they're just the type of people who seek attention by doing this type of thing. I can tell stories too, but that doesn't make the scenarios any more likely to happen.Some of the management stuff reminded me of peopleware, which I preferred. The whole part about mission statements seems a little...well, hollow. (What if there was a great team, but they never came up with a mission statement? Was there ever an only adquate or bad group and they became successful because they came up with a mission statement? The latter is what I'm more curious about.

    This is not a quick fix book. I will take time and focus for any of the advice given in the book to make big changes. That said I've just finished the book and noticed some positive changes in myself.

    This book does have "buzzwords" that other reviews have complained about but that is because the book made them that way. People just repeat the words instead of doing the hard work.

    This book does have one flaw the writer talks about not projecting your paradigms on others Covey forgot that not all his readers will be Christian.

    The seven habits are universal and applicable not only at work, but also at home. They deserve reading and re-reading year after year. The only problem I have with the author is that some of the stories told are simply too neat and perfect, and they leave the reader feeling just a bit as if they are being talked down to. The whole "clean and green" story just seems to have been enhanced, and is told with such extreme detail you simply want it to end.

    I read this because I saw this as one of the central works in thinking about management and leadership. The content is engaging and in my opinion the advice in general enough form to be sound.

    Although many people discount this book for being based on pedestrian examples, I found the core meaning quite good. If you ignore the out of date metaphors and relationships represented in the book, I think a lot can be understood.

    There’s some advice here for Christian businessmen on how to become more Christian and robotic, but mostly it is just self-praise by the author. Trashy, very – but with a quite fancy title. Book starts with 6 pages of accolades, invariably from other self-help authors. I’m used to that, having bought a few “how to write” books and through this come to realize that self-help authors are a close-knit community (who do not differ in what little advice they offer, only in type of encouragement), but it still looks odd in a book that has sold 15 mil.

    There's some solid advice here. Even if Covey was a Morman, and there is a bit in this book about "natural laws" as set up by God. I still think there's some useful tools in the 7 habits. I feel I got something good out of this book, especially about seeking first to understand.
