Summary: This is a life-changing book. Get it!
Review: This book should be mandatory study for everyone above the teen years. I have spent 3 years reviewing the principles off and on, and it has significantly changed my behavior and outlook. Covey draws on innate human traits of character, and shows how to use them to enrich your life. I can often tell when I have met a Covey student: they have an indescribable peace and glow about them. Warning: Do not just read this book once. You have to practice the principles and revisit the book to get maximum benefit. Ideal for a study group format. Deb Gunther

Summary: I'm trying to share what I've learned so far
Review: I'm only on habit #2, however, as suggested in the book, I would like to share what I've learned so far, in order to help better understand the material and in order to assist someone else. (I have no one to talk to at the moment.) So far, I'm learning about what it means to be proactive. I'm trying to balance my P and PC. I'm establishing my values and beginning each day as an opportunity to reenforce them. I'm trying to begin with the end in mind. These are pretty heavy ideas and it's taking me time to thoroughly ingest them. But I just thought I'd let you know how it's going. Adios!

Summary: Covey's writing is easily accesable and extremely helpful.
Review: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People tells the readers how they can take control of their own lives. I found this book to be well written, as it was clear and easy to read while still being very potent. Covey uses little jargon in his writing that he does not explain, so this book is extremely easy to read and understand. If the readers follow Covey's advise they will find their lives to be far more organized. Thus they will be able to accomplish more and very often feel much better about themselves as a result. I would reccomend this book to anyone, whether or not they feel their lives need improvement.

Summary: Good insight for those who believe character is important
Review: Very few books have had an effect on me as much as this book. I've read it twice and sent one to a friend. If you don't believe that a strong moral character is the foundation for a fulfilling life, you most likely will after reading this.

Summary: The Book That Makes a Difference
Review: This book made a big difference in my life since it challenged me to change the way I thought professionally and emotionally. After reading the book, my relationships with my workers had changed for the better (I reduced turnover in my business dramatically and fostered an incredible team spirit within each of my employees) and I also ended a marriage with a woman who constantly dragged me down instead of lifting me upward. My life is now on track because of this book. The book also gives you tools (lists, diagrams, and organizer inserts) that aid you in becoming more highly effective. Stephen R. Covey provides deeply personal examples of his effective growth change. The book is inspiring. Everyone else on this site who has given a bad review of this book must not know effectiveness from a hole in the ground and must not have read the book all the way through practicing the end-of-the-chapter "exercises".

Summary: Correct principles are the bedrock of all success
Review: Stephen Covey provides a manner in which a person can seek to live a rich, rewarding life on the strength of correct principles. It is not easy to read and follow this book -- changing ourselves is painful. But the end result is happiness and real inner peace that comes from knowing that you are living a life congruent with unchanging, correct principles.

Summary: Inter-dependent as the launching base
Review: What an insighful book ! Do not miss the opportunity for a major step-up in your life. The distinctions and the insights revealed in this extraordinary book must be tought from the age of 6 in order for us to create a better world ! I also urge you to look for my review on "Corporate Mystic" and "The Fifth Discipline". Ronen Ben-Naphtali, Israe

Summary: Steven Covey is my Idol!
Review: I bought this Audio book to help me succeed at work and found it incredibley useful in EVERY aspect of my life. I have since bought everything I can get my hands on that he has published. I am partial to the audio versions as I drive a lot and find his delivery entertaining & inspiring. I often find myself quoting him to friends, family, and associates. My husband's employer sent him to a "7 Habits" seminar, and now he has listened to all the Covey books on tape as well. I can't imagine anyone not finding immense value in this book. If you read nothing else intended for self improvement READ THIS BOOK

Summary: One of the best.
Review: This is a great book. It is about principles that make sense to most intellegent people. It refers to ideas that everybody already know but keep forgeting. It is just about logic principles, and it gives easy to understand examples to apply those principles to real life for good. It is worth buying
