CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Simple
Comment: Stephen R. Covey is renown in the realm of business books.

He prepared and set the expectation of the reader early in the foreword.

"To learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to do is really not to know."

In short, he believes and conveys, as most business writers, that the book provides only a light or tool to open yourself to a whole new world and where the journey leads and when the journey ends is interdependent on your continual practice and review of the materials.

Chapter Inside-out compared 2 paradigms: Character Ethnics and Personality Ethnics. in short, your achievement is dependent on your values that build up your character. Your personality is how others view you.

Habit One: Be Proactive. Reader needs to understand the difference between liberty to choose and freedom to exercise the option to choose. Always make a conscious choice and not be conditioned by feelings. Focus on the word "Be" which is proactive in nature, only then will your circle of influence expand

Reading in progress, rating is based on personal value derived at this point in time.

Customer Rating:
Summary: This book will change your life
Comment: I can't say enough about the potential of this book to change your life. Covey lays out the 7 habits in an easy-to-read manner and thoroughly explains them. I would also suggest getting the companion workbook as well. Between this book and that workbook I have changed my life for the better in so many ways I can't begin to cover. No matter how efficient or effective you consider yourself to be you can still become better-- and this book can show you how.

Customer Rating:
Summary: book has the right focus
Comment: I give this book four stars because I think Covey is right that people must focus on the development of their character if they want to succeed in whatever it is they're interested in. Most of the wisdom in the book is common sense, but nevertheless, reading a book like this helps remind us of what's important. I think a better book in this genre is Leadership for Life - Your Guide to Becoming A Transformational Leader

Customer Rating:
Summary: I love this book.
Comment: This is one of the classic books of this genre and with good reason. It works. Sure, it gets somewhat of a bad name sometimes because if you work in an office environment, you've probably been forced to attend the training associated with the book, but you have to overlook this. It really works and if you can just get past the corporate aspect of it, you will see results. Another really good book like that I enjoyed is Grow Rich!: With Peace of Mind by the great Napolean Hill. If you like books like Seven Habits, you'll love what he had to say about success and achieving it.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Common sense that can be summarized in a few pages, not a whole book
Comment: There is no great insight from this book, but just common sense that is told with a complex language that is quite difficult to follow at times. Save yourself time and just read what the 7 habits are from one of the "1-star" reviewers.
