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–This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The turkey jerking chapter is the best part of this book IMHO. :smiley:

…so the owl is into turkey jerking…
:astonished:

I don’t think it would go any better if you were still a cat.
:laughing:

So did johnw654 join for the sole purpose of hawking the book?

Unless, of course, posting to C&F is habit No1.

6

Ah…ya think?

…and then he screwed up the link! :laughing:

7

Worst … spambot … EVAR!!!

I read the 7 chapter titles in the bookstore in 10 seconds. Any one that needs more elaboration than that is wasting their time.

9

I have a hunch that highly successful people probably have 8 or 9 habits. Somehow 7 doesn’t seem to be quite enough. Then again, 10 might be one or two too many.

10

Of course these habits have nothing to do with actually moving up the corporate ladder. You only need to be able to schmooze and know corporate buzzspeak.

11

Sadly I lack some of the essential physical features necessary to climb the corporate ladder in my company.

12

Even worse is that Stephen Covey’s son Sean wrote a book called
7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens. Gag me with a spork.

13

That does it.

I’m writing a book entitled ‘Seven habits of people who think that everything important comes in sevens.’

14

I’ll take seven copies.

Slan,
D. :slight_smile:

15

It’s never too early to start. As you can see,
these wee 'uns are following the excellent advice
I give in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Toddlers.

How 'bout these little CEO’s of the future!

16

But here’s only four of them. You can’t expect to get very far in marketing with a glaring ommission like that! :astonished:

17

I strongly suspect that one habit highly successful people have is that they don’t sit around reading self-help books.

18

I have no desire to be highly effective. What else y’ got?

19

My question is: Effective at what?

It would be easier, anyway, to write a sensible book about the seven habits of highly infective people:

  1. Never wash hands.
  2. share needles
    stuff like that…

7 habits seems very excessive. Me, I don’t even have one.
