Summary: A MASTER PIECE IN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT!
Review: Dr Covey has put together one of the best works ever. The key word in the title is "habits", no thinking about, setting goals to do something, swishing or anchoring yourself, but actually developing habits and actually doing it.

I've read this book several times and I get something new out of it every time. The only other self development book that helped me this much (I've read them all) is "THINK & GROW RICH" by Napolean Hill I also highly recommend "BUSINESS BUY THE BIBLE" and "DON'T SET GOALS" by Wade Cook. These books are very much in the tradition of "SEVEN HABITS".

To me, this book is not only "not over rated" as one reader indicated, I believe that it is grossly under rated and arguably is the best self development book on the book racks right now!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Time tested principles
Review: It takes a genius to take simple, eternal principles and reinvent them in a way we can all learn and benefit from. Two thumbs up!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is a hit if you continue to think your own thoughts..
Review: Well, Stephen Covey really gains popularity, but I still wonder why it is so easy to earn money on the obvious? It is a good book, but with a wrong approach from the reader, it may turn out as a religious book or a bible. I guess that's not what Stephen wants, but if you keep your head cool and adopt the goodies from the script, the book may be a shortcut to a successful life in many ways. It is still essential to think by your self, your own thoughts. With a correct approach this book should be a good help for people with minds stuck in dead ends...bearing in mind that no one but yourself can do the necessary work. Read it, judge it, use it, but most important: Improve your life with or without it. Dale Carnegie would perhaps have written this book if he had been alive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Profound, Life changing, Deep thinking solutions.
Review: Stephen Covey shares his wisdom of human behavior, identifies 7 fundamental habits that when developed translate into powerful change. Crystalizes the concept of principles, deepens your understanding of words like vision, values and synergy. Removes the blinders to common sense and forces you to deal with the the true causes of your frustrstion. Read it daily, absorb and apply it, grow, grow, grow, grow, grow......evolve.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: good book with the basics to get you moving
Review: it will try to get you moving but if you call the 800 number to order a sample of the weekly worksheet you better not hold your breath waiting for it to arrive. i've tried three times over the last 6 months and still don't have it. i've offered to buy it and still can't get it. i think stephen should practice what he preaches.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great
Review: I find the philosophy is great for everything in the life. The habits are some simple fact we might have learned all our life, but we never really put it all together, and more important to put it into execution. Since the class on the subject, I did not really carry out everything I learned. But, it really helped.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST READ FOR EVERYBODY
Review: If you liked Dale Carnegie's 1925 authoring of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" you'll love this book!! It is a no nonsense approach to building a better you. His time management lessons and discussions on life are invaluable.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: brings a spiritual dimension to self help
Review: Excellent. Also leads one to read another life changing book, Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. I have found that meditation opens the gap Covey refers to between events and ones reaction to them. Meditation has taught me how to observe my thoughts and feelings. 7 Habits helps me organize my progress.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Puts your life into perspective
Review: Covey cleanly helps you to identify and organize the things that are important to you and ensure that you spend your time on these things. His approach can be applied to every aspect of your life, not just business or relationships at home. Very good.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Law of the Harvest Holds True
Review: This book has changed a lot of lives. I teach the Seven Habits to other people who ask me how I have managed to do many of the things I have, and still balance work, family, etc. Covey proposes sound, down-to-earth principles for achieving happiness, success, and managing "yourself" in time.

A lot of people, accustomed to those "quick fix" programs, find that they work no better than the quick weight loss, fad diets. You think you are doing great, for a short time, then you begin encountering hurdles. This book is a let-down for people who have become addicted to such short-term thinking. With patience, periodic review of the 7-Habits book, and determination, you can change your life.

Covey never said he would do it for you. But he has produced a great tool for helping you put it all into perspective.
