The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges.
Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more.


This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you'll probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you'll feel like you've taken a powerful seminar by Covey. --Joan Price--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Very spammy.

Well placed in "Miscellaneous" though. Doesn't get much more miscellaneous than this.

I've read the book and listened to the tapes (BTW, the tapes are alot more enjoyable than the book which is written in a very dry style); other than running a ski area, what does it have to do with recreational skiing?

"WORK" the price you have to pay to ski

I know many ineffective and effective people at work...it doesn't seem to have any influence on how they ski.

But it may affect how often they ski.

i found this book to be rather over rated. i got what covey was going for, i don't think living a highly effective life should be that much work though. you want a good business book for being effective? pick up emotional intelligence by goleman.
