Summary: Don't Expect "new" habits, understand and gain insight
Review: Much of the criticism of this book seems to focus on the idea that there isn't anything "new" here. So be it. If the 7 Habits are all-encompassing and universal, then to expect 1, or 2 or 3 new ones is pretty silly. Repetition is the mother of learning, and having additional examples or frames of reference helps to add insight and examples of putting the 7 Habits to work. This, and other "7 Habits" material are merely supplements to the original concepts and ideas and, to me, are merely vehicles to aid in the development and understanding of their usage in everyday situations. Regarded in that context, there's probably room for more of this type of information in much the same way that there are now so many "Chicken Soup" volumes available. I'm surprised that so many reviewers don't seem to "get it".

Summary: A great book
Review: OK!For a start this book is awfully good.It has numerous inspiring stories from lots of people who have succesfully tackled 'simple but very important' daily problems that helped changing their lives 'forever' BUT THE THING I DON'T LIKE and UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS BOOK is why a prominent writer such as Stephen R. Covey has to take the credits of these great people by relating to and praising his 7 habits. What I mean is,most of the times I read a book a day, I highlight important facts and sayings and later try my best to analyze them for my better future but the funny thing is You can not put them into practice until every fiber of your being wants you too so...Looking at the brighter side of the moon - this book is so pleasant with triumphous stories that might have some relevance to your lives and even help you how to triumph over simple things we consider as big.

Summary: Same ides over and over
Review: Steven Covey has a tendency to whrite the same message over and over again. And if you have read any of his other books, don't read this one.

Summary: Amazingly Refreshing!
Review: Thank you Mr. Covey for bringing the 7 Habits to my way of learning and thinking. This book is a collection of real life stories that show how people have put these famous and unviersal habits and principles to work in their everyday lives. I recommend this book to EVERYBODY at work and at home.

Summary: Another inspirational tome stamped out with a cookie cutter
Review: There is absolutely nothing different, unusual, special - and least of all, inspiring - about this book. The author writes as if the mere repetition of tales of pluck and boot-strapping were some new revelation. It is very difficult not to feel that the authors who write these books aren't just filling an insatiable need on the part of people who simply can't get their lives together and are stuck on a treadmill of buying one inspirational "self-help" book after another as a substitute for truly taking action in their lives. There is nothing to mark this book as better than the great glut of treacly advice books on the market.

Summary: OK
Review: This book is adequate if you just want some pedestrian, sterile examples, but if you want to read about real courage and inspiration read "The Greatest Generation" or "The Triumph and the Glory", and then apply the timeless lessons proclaimed between the front and back covers of those two terrific books and maybe you will learn something. I'm sorry, but these motivational books are hideously overrated.

Summary: The proof and example of the 7 Habits
Review: This book not only proves that the 7 Habits work, but gives the reader greater insight by example as to how they may apply the 7 Habits themselves. Covey gives some insight before and after each story for additional instruction. This book is comparable to the Chicken Soup Series, except this book contains expert instruction and explanation. A great follow up to the 7 Habits.

Summary: Leaving the 7 Habits or Living the 7 habits
Review: This is an unmeanlingful line extension of Covey's previous work, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. This latest book can ruin both Covey and 7 Habits' brand equity. Why publish another book when there is nothing new to say ? Why kill the goose (Covey as a brand) that lays the golden egg ( 7 habits brand) ? For the past few years, Covey failed to innovate and come up with new ideas about personal development, leadership, and management. He has been locked in too ridigly in his old 7 habits paradigm. He should read Edward De Bono's Lateral Thinking, which will help him whack the side of his thinking and make him less habituated to his old thoughts. Hope he will have something new to say in his upcoming new books! Please create true value for the readers. Please! Dollars are getting tough to earn these days.
