 Simply the best December 25, 2008
I read The 7 Habits for the first time in 1993. It changed my life. I consider it basic training for human beings. It provides a simple yet complete framework for ordering one's life, priorities, and goals. I highly recommend this volume to anyone. After you've read this volume and attempted to apply it to your life, I recommend that you follow it up with a reading of Covey's The 8TH Habit: From Effectiveness To Greatness. Both books pay you back in spades.
By Far one of the best Business Books Ever December 24, 2008
This book is one of the best business books ever written. Hands down this is a must read. If you own a business this is a great book to give to managers. Whole organizations can benefit from this book. I found it very helpful and the hundreds of people I have passed it onto have also.
Powerful December 17, 2008
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People may be the most influential book I have ever read. I have witnessed its principles put into practice with tremendous results. While the book does contain great pointers on business and leadership, the most potent thrust is, as the subtitle implies, in "personal change". There is not a person on this planet who could not improve their life by reading this book and applying what is written. The wisdom herein is so insightful and so broadly applicable that I can say that Mr. Covey has written a book with the potential to drive the whole of humanity forward...that is, if we'll listen to what he has to say.
a very motivating book December 16, 2008
One of the best books I've ever read. The part I like the most is when Covey shows that we all need to break our paradigms, because we always think we are right. This book helps us to be better people and to understand other people's points of view.
 Unique among motivational books December 9, 2008
This book is unique among most of the self-improvement books published in the last century because "7 habits" focuses on what Covey calls "The Character Ethic" instead of what he calls "The Personality Ethic". The Personality Ethic states that success is a function of public image, attitude, and the process of human interaction. Covey believes that The Personality Ethic focuses on the superficial, rather than the underlying problem of character. The Character Ethic states that the foundation of success is made up of attributes like fairness, integrity, honesty, and patience. Components of The Personality Ethic naturally flow out of a person who is rooted in the principles of The Character Ethic.
Instead of focusing on specific motivation strategies, Covey focuses on creating the mindset a person needs before they can be motivated. I can't reccommend this book enough.
