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, honesty, 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 book will change your life
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.
book has the right focus
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
I love this book.
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.
 Common sense that can be summarized in a few pages, not a whole book
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.
Fantastic Book - Well worth a read or a re-read
I think the reviews here have pretty much summed up the quality of this book.
Personally, I find it a fascinating read -- full of intellectual stimulation, in particular, the discussions about shifting your viewpoints and adjusting paradigms always stimulates me and excites me to read on.
Very well written, engaging, and well worth the time and money.
