Summary: No hype. Low key. Powerful book.
Review: The "7 Habits" outlined by Covey are not the typical fare in most motivational books. Rather than cute stories, Covey offers real examples on how to live our life more fully in a satisfying way. This could easily be the book of the decade (if it isn't already). If you enjoy the "7 Habits" then I recommend you also read "Life and Death on the Internet" by Keith A. Schroeder. Then you can learn how to apply these principles in our fast-paced computer age.

Review: I am so thankful to the person who gave me this book to read. I have undergone many paradigm shifts and I'm only up to habit number three! Some of the book has been affirming of what I am currently doing, some of the book has challenged long-held beliefs and goals. All I can say is THANK YOU.

Summary: Directions for self-change
Review: After reading Stephen Covey's "7 Habits" cover-to-cover a few years ago, I picked it up again for a re-read. I can't bring myself to read too many books twice, but this one is worth the effort. As many of the other readers here suggest, the book is not perfect. Certain examples Covey cites and recommendations he issues are so idealistic that they make him seem completely out of touch with everyday life. In addition, his style is so upbeat that it, at times, borders on hokey. Nonetheless, there's a reason this book have been a business bestseller for a zillon weeks: it presents a sound method for improving your life. This is not a re-write of the "Power of Positive Thinking" - Covey explicitly rejects these types of quick-fix remedies. Instead, it is a plan to restructure your life based on those things that you deem most important. Of course, a plan needs to be executed, and that part can't be done for you, although Covey is glad to assist by selling you a few day planners and a conference or two. The bottom line is that this book won't change your life. You'll do the changing, and Covey is one of the best sources to explain how.

Summary: Life changing IF you do it!
Review: Steven Covey's book is not for the faint of heart. He provides you a simple (but not easy!) road map for self accessment, and finally, life leadership. It took me 3 tries to finally make it all the way to the end, but it was worth the trip. Excellent!!

Summary: Never Finished It
Review: I've tried to read this book from start-to-finish twice and couldn't get past page 100. The vocabulary is cute rather than useful or insightful. I'm glad that many have obtained value from this book, but I just see it as seminar-selling hoopla. Covey merged with FranklinQuest a short while ago and FranklinQuest's Hyrum Smith has a wonderful book "The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management." Hyrum's book gets to the point, rather than getting you hooked into a "system".

Summary: In three years, you will really love yourself!
Review: This is a book that says "It's okay not to be perfect now", just try to become better. It motivates to take on responsibility of one's self as well as to help others. There is great value in developing the personal mission statement, and even more value in reviewing and revising it. The 7 Habits reminds us of the benefits to balancing our personal and professional lives. And, I love the story about not taking time to sharpen the saw! Please read this book.

Summary: Good thoughts and a good check for habits.
Review: I enjoyed the book and only wish that I could have seen and heard Mr. Covey in person. If you like this book, try Don Mitchell's THE 2,000 PERCENT SOLUTION.
