Essential Covey.
Reviewed in Australia on 14 February 2019
Verified Purchase
For me, the 7 Habits are the essences but not the whole story. Each essence has its own implications if you're willing to consider them. Of course, considering without applying has limited value, and it's one of the easy-to-miss features of Covey's writing that he asks you to get up and do more than nod your head in agreement. Covey's writing endures in part because he doesn't try to make you an infant who is incapable of doing things for yourself, like so many self improvement books do nowadays. Covey reminds me to think deeply and authentically about what I want, because one day I'll be living with the consequences of it.

It's obvious why it's a classic - very useful and practical
Reviewed in Australia on 31 December 2015
Verified Purchase
This is one of those classics, often referred to but in my case not as widely read. I bought it not because I was after a PowerBook to change my life but actually wanted to see what everyone goes on about and it was on kindle special list for the day so was relatively cheap & could justify it if I felt it was a lot of American hogwash.

Surprisingly, it was really good, and while it Is the quintessential "life improvement" book, it wasn't preachy and difficult to read with a lot of "consultant jargon". Based on Covey's decades long study of self-improvement and human character, this book is a straight forward & effective tool for getting your mind to set & achieve goals. A lot of these concepts we already know however reading them in this order with the relevant explanations helps to cement thoughts into concrete plans.

The book is broken down into sections by each habit. The 7 Habits are, as listed in the book: Habit 1: Be Proactive, Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind, Habit 3: Put First Things First, Habit 4: Think Win/Win, Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood, Habit 6: Synergize, Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

The book was very well written, I would absolutely recommend it, it’s applicable to all aspects in life.

Interesting read
Reviewed in Australia on 16 April 2019
Verified Purchase
I was pleasantly surprised this was based on principles and not actually habits such as exercising first thing in the morning and meditating. It is based on foundational things and laid out well. In the additional resources at the back, he mentions he normally teaches habits 4, 5 and 6 and then 1, 2, 3 - which makes me think - why not switch them around? It also wanders into the realm of forgiveness which I think is unnecessary in this context. Overall, there are things I am using in my life and will continue to do that I believe will enhance it. Although, I skipped over the areas and examples I felt weren't relevant

A must read for anyone looking to grow
Reviewed in Australia on 19 July 2020

This book has been less of a read and more of an ongoing life skills reference manual. It's the staple, "You must read this" for every up and coming manager I've worked with over the last 10 years and I suspect it will continue to be so for a very long time.

I had often heard this title in educational conversations and was interested to see what it was about. I was pleasantly surprised by the ease of the text and the straight forward way in which it was delivered. I have already learnt so much from this book and will continue to implement the 7 behaviours.

Grounding, and centering messages.
Needs to be read at least annually, sometimes more often, whenever you think that you know what you are doing.

Highly readable, insightful, practical
Reviewed in Australia on 2 February 2018

I've come across few non fiction books that are hard to put down, but this is one. I have read many self help books, but few as insightful and helpful as this. The many examples help illustrate how a person might apply the principles in their own life.

Mr. A. C. B. Ranatunga
misleading
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2018
Verified Purchase
I didn't like this book. I read it as an 18 year old medical student. I had so much on my plate at the time, that going by the title, i expected it to make my life easier.

Wrong! It appears to be (on the surface) a book on efficiency (which is what i read it for). I was desperately looking for short term, rapid solutions to my problems.

This book made me trawl through 400 pages of disjointed, badly written pseudo-science, philosophy & religion. Far from meeting my needs... it was positively misleading. It did not do, what it said on the cover. It ought to be reported to trading standards, for false advertising.

It should not be recommended to young people, who require 'substance', and help, at trying times in their lives.

The book, is a false beacon... and a waste of time. It may, or may not be well-intended... But for me, Covey is a false prophet, making money off naieve young people's problems & anxieties.

It could've been summarised in 10 pages... Am not impressed... and am actually bitterly disappointed.

Balloon Juice
Reviewed in the United States on 1 October 2018
Verified Purchase
I finally decided to read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I had purchased it some time ago and recently determined that now was the time to read this self-help classic. What a COLOSSAL disappointment! I am amazed that this mediocrity is so popular. I found it to be little more than 1980s managerial balloon juice.

From “paradigm shift,” to “think Win/Win,” to (ugh) “synergy,” there is no empty self-help cliché left unturned. I should have stopped reading the first time I saw the word “synergy.” (I get countless “business proposals” in my email every day and, if I bother to skim any of them at all, I delete them as soon as the word “synergy” makes an appearance.) No word represents the trite emptiness of this book better than “synergy” – except maybe the verb form of the word: “synergize,” or the adjective “synergistic,” or the adverb “synergistically.” But they are all here. (The author also repeatedly refers to “things that are learned” as “learnings.”)

The book doesn’t even try to live up to its title. There is no argument at all to support the idea that these are seven actual habits that real people have used anywhere in the world to achieve real success. In fact, these seven so-called habits appear to be nothing more than seven things that the author thinks are really good ideas, with weird examples of how they helped him deal with his kid being bad at baseball and also helped his kid learn the value of cleaning up the yard. The book’s title doesn’t match the book itself, but then no one would spend their money on a book called, “The Seven Things Some Random Guy Thinks are Really Nifty-Keen.”

Here’s some useful self-help/time management advice for you: do not waste your precious time with this book. There are dozens and dozens, if not hundreds, of better self-help books out there. Synergize your win/win paradigm shifts with some of those.

This book helped me rewrite my life.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2018
Verified Purchase
Motivational books and these self-help related material are never something that worked with me when I seek inspiration or help or something to resonate with.

This book, however; even if I needed to 'endure' an unconvincing start, was revolutionary in helping me rewrite my life, help find purpose and deal with my mental health issues also.

I would summerise this book as: ''applied, logical wisdom'.

An honest review
Reviewed in Canada on 21 August 2018
Verified Purchase
I have just completed the most popular and widely-recognized self-help book ever written. Its impact and cultural relevance is real; even non-readers acknowledge it after a glance at its cover.

To be frank, I was not blown away by this book. Yes, there are tidbits of wisdom, but they are scattered sparingly in a seamless array of personal anecdotes, mixed with lengthy phrases in no way aiding what was originally a bald point.

I recovered from the book two very important points which could bring value to most intellectuals: a potential new time-management schedule built on a weekly framework which I will definitely try! The second stresses the essence of self-improvement through continuous reading to live life in crescendo as Mr. Covey so magnificently put it.

I did find the 7 habits to be applicable and relatable. I saw my own values and principles in most of them. Maybe I just did not enjoy the dry writing style and the over-usage of anecdotes. I was maybe hoping for more deep-diving in philosophical which ironically begins to appear at the end of the book in the Final Interview with the author. Overall, I give it 3 stars.

Don't buy this Product, this is a duplicate book. I purchased it for 239 INR (MRP was 599) on 8th Jan 2021.

After i received it today, found it is a duplicate.

1) Book paper layout is Bad.
2) Print quality is Bad, it is not normal to read.
3) Every page the darkness of the Printing is different (some page, it is like print done on Old printer cartridge, very light. Some pages, it is too dark.

When i checked the price of this produce after i received my shipment, it is showing 160 INR today.

The one which are sold in the Traffic Signal for 100 INR are better than this product.

Please do not buy this product.
