I bought the first edition of this book as soon as it was published. Today, I'm even more impressed by this new edition.

Bragging moment: Many years ago, at BYU's Education Week, I was walking next to Stephen Covey as we left a class about homeschooling. In that class, the speaker had used a quadrant-based drawing to explain his approach to education.

As we walked and talked - Stephen told me how the quadrants approach worked with one of his current projects, too. I was fascinated by this very visual way to understand concepts.

And then, saying a quick goodbye, Stephen started speed-walking to... well, wherever he was going to, next. (I was on my way to the next Education Week class.)

So, in that moment, I had a glimpse into a vital organizational approach that was emerging, even before Stephen Covey's book was available.

I've never forgotten it.

Anyway...

That may be why Covey's advice resonated with me, as soon as I read the first edition of this book.

Today, I'm even more impressed with this edition. I'm enjoying it even more than past editions, with a new context and fresh outlook.

If you're trying to accomplish anything in life, not just in business, I think this is more than just a "must read."

In fact, it's a book that belongs in every home and office.

I think we all want to make a difference in life, and the best - and most satisfying - way to do that is to be effective. For me, the 7 Habits approach always works, and this book is the very best way to make the most of it.

I would have lived a different life if I read this in my 20's.
This isn't a quick-fix book. And you have to be ready to really look at yourself and make some changes.
In my life, I have not heard the "simple stuff" that we all need laid out like this. It's light-hearted, but serious. And it's nicely balanced in family, marriage, kids, and business.
This is not a "how to win friends and influence people" kind of book. This is real.
Are you ready to really dig in? Then this is the book for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars It has endured, because it is good
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024

my boss recommended this book, so I read it. And it is good. I had already thought through or encountered most of the ideas in this book before I read it, but Im kinda old. I think this book would have been great for a younger me, but sadly a younger me would have probably thought it was boring and not read it, infact Im pretty sure it was recommended to me when I was younger and I did just that.
The truths in this book are really well presented, and undeniable. I think most people will be more effective if they live by these, but it probably appeals to some personalities more than others.
Bottom line is, Im glad I read this. Im probably a better person for reading it. You will probably be a little bit better if you read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of most influential in productivity genre.

This is book for personal development and relationship management. In this book, the author used a top-down, inside-out approach to help the readers to develop effectiveness in their personal life and in their relationship with others.

This approach belongs to so called the character ethic approaches, which emphasizes that "there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character."

The author's argument is that developing a principle center of ourselves is essential to form an effective, mature, independent individual, which becomes the foundation for trustworthy, interdependent relationships with others.

The seven principles and the corresponding seven habits presented in this book are thus a part of a sequential development process. From top to down, from inside to outside, this process allows the reader to introspect, evaluate and then change their own paradigms of life and finally to live in harmony with their principles, their values in an ever-changing, challenging, interdependent environment.

I’m so fortunate to have started my lifelong reading-journey with this book. There is a direct trend with how much of my life I taken into my own hands and the level of satisfaction and understanding that comes from it. This book has helped me uncover a lot about myself and to question what higher purpose I serve than any other book I’ve read!

Dr. Covey reuniu de forma simples e com exemplos verdades principais para uma vida eficaz - princípios e valores. Essa edição traz ao final de cada capítulo uma pequena "expansão" escrita por seu filho Sean Covey. A edição é capa mole e em paperback (papel jornal). O conteúdo se mantém atemporal.

Originalmente no lo iba a comprar porque que flojera que alguien te diga 7 cosas mágicas que al parecer son el secreto del éxito. Como si eso existiera, sin embargo, vaya que me arrepentí. Siguen siendo 7 cosas, pero la forma en la que están desarrolladas, me pareció excelente. No es una lectura pesada y aun así es muy completa. El que no le ponga 5 estrellas debe tener problemas de autoestima o un ego muy grande. Gran libro.

Het boek bracht me nieuwe inzichten m.b.t je leven en je persoonlijkheid. Het is niet bedoelt om 'succesvol' te zijn voor de buitenwereld maar succesvol te zijn met jezelf. Het is een keuze.
Het is een boek dat in Amerikaans Engels is geschreven en veel, zijn in gedachtenvormen makkelijk te herleiden. Persoonlijk heeft het mij veel geleerd. Ik niet anders zeggen dat het een aanrader is!

This book is like a life transformation journey for everyone. It talks about things which seems to be very common across and on first reading many people will find nothing new in there, but that is the main crux of this book. It doesn't try to teach you anything new but just leads you to what you need to explore more and reach higher level of maturity.
