Must Haves: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Published by Leah August 4th, 2006 in Must Haves for The Biased Life.So this book has been out there for quite a long time, but hey, a good book once is usually a good book all the time right?
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Paperback)
If you buy on Amazon.com the prices start as low as $0.01 not including shipping.
Personally I love this book, and it’s a good one to read again and again or whenver you feel your focus slipping or if you feel overwhelmed by all the responisibilities in your life.
Here is the overview from Amazon.com:
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
