In The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, author Stephen R. Covey presents a holistic, integrated, principle-centered approach for solving personal and professional problems. With penetrating insights and pointed anecdotes, Covey reveals a step-by-step pathway for living with fairness, integrity, service, and human dignity--principles that give us the security to adapt to change and the wisdom and power to take advantage of the opportunities that change creates.
This could have been shortened quite a bit. I read this decades after it was first published, so I can't say whether some of this was basic stuff, or that it influenced so many others that it was the actual innovator. I will say the synergy chapter was week. I will review and write down what I need from this for review over the years. ( )
Seemed like useful advice that's mostly a reformulation of things I've heard elsewhere, with more anecdotes and less science, but I find that hearing the same kinds of advice from multiple sources in multiple different ways is still useful.
I found some of the "I know a better way to live and you should listen to me" attitude off-putting, as well as the persistent references to God/church, but most of the actual content is religion agnostic. ( )
While there's a lot in here I already knew and some things that pretty common, there were some other good insights as well. Great principles to put into habit, which is easier said than done. Like Covey says, it's one thing to know all this stuff but another thing to actually put it into practice, and that takes a lot of time and practice. ( )
Borrowing slightly from the concepts of Quantum Mechanics, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People begins with the astute observation that people perceive the world differently, and because we view the world with our own unique "lens," it is difficult to separate the observation from the observer.
Covey says that we all have our own paradigm, which is our own map of how we perceive the world and how we think the world should be in our ideal view. Covey writes, "The way we see things is the source of the way we think and the way we act."
There can be no friendship without confidence, and no confidence without integrity. SAMUEL JOHNSON
We have committed the Golden Rule to memory; let us now commit it to life. EDWIN MARKHAM
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of. PASCAL
I take as my guide the hope of a saint: in crucial things, unity -- in important things, diversity -- in all things, generosity.
INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT GEORGE BUSH
Sometimes when I consider what tremendous consequences come from little things. . . I am tempted to think. . . there are no little things. BRUCE BARTON
The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by hanging their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature. EZRA TAFT BENSON

In more than 25 years of working with people in business, university, and marriage and family settings, I have come in contact with many individuals who have achieved an incredible degree of outward success, but have found themselves struggling with an inner hunger, a deep need for personal congruency and effectiveness and for healthy, growing relationships with other people.
