Oh dear. I hope you haven’t sent that off to the publisher yet.
It seems to me that reading only the chapter titles should be one of the seven habits of successful people. But I’d be guessing.
How about this book.
The Only Habit Necessary
To effective drunkeness
When does Emm’s book come out?
Sooo…with all the critiquing, has anyone here actually read the book in question?
I feel inclined to speak up because I know Steve personally; he has a lot of really great advice for people, and it’s not all just aplicable to the workplace.
actually - I took the “Seven Habits of Effective Leaders” 2 day class about 7 - 8 years ago. There’s a LOT of good information, especially about figuring out what is REALLY a priority to you, personnally (instead of having others dictate to you what a priority is) and finding ways to achieve goals.
I also used a Franklin Planner for years (which is based on the Seven Habits) and taught my older son how to use one. I don’t think he’d have gotten through high school without it.
I think the main issue here is that this thread probably started as spam.
Tyler You know Covey AND Jessica Simpson? Wow. A real hobnobber!!! Can you introduce me to Paris? 
Yeah, I had to read it in my Electrical Engineering senior design class
at NCSU (I know, didn’t make sense to me, either). It wasn’t that bad,
I suppose. It certainly wasn’t as fraught with marketspeak as, say,
[u]Who Moved my Cheese[/u]. I think his advice on talking to teenagers is
pretty good, and “when negotiating, always keep in mind that failure
is a perfectly viable option” sort of stuff was interesting. But a lot of
the cynical engineers I knew hated it, and thought it was largely
obvious.
Electrical Engineering? Yikes. I was Computer Science. Much easier and less math.
I don’t know about that… I doubled in EE and Computer Eng. (which
included a lot of CSC classes), and I’m pretty sure the CSCs had
more math. The only thing EEs took above Calc was Differential
Equations. The CSCs had two Discrete Math-type courses (big-O
notation and proofs and all that), and some other Linear Math class.
The above mentioned classes (four quarters of Calc and one of Differential Equations) was the SOLE reason my degree is in Natural Science instead of Chemistry!!!
I have no problem doing math IN science, but I absolutely HATE taking math classes!!!
After calculus 3 it all starts to make sense and gets esier.
NEVER!
True. The Discrete stuff was fairly easy once I caught on to the concept of big-O. That nearly drove me to excinction for awhile. The linear math was easy because it was all matrix math. I had some trouble with inductive proofs but I can’t recall which class that came from.
Calc just blew my mind. I couldn’t understand how anyone ever came up with the stuff to begin with.
No, fly, Paris is outside of my realm of stupidity! 
I know Covey through my father, they’ve done advisory work together in the past. I just had to babysit Jessica Simpson at Sundance. It would have been tolerable if there wasn’t an air compressor in her head blowing words out her mouth ever second and a half. Thankfully, I have no on-going relationship with Jessica Simpson.
Odd. I had the opposite problem: Calc made sense, but I hated that
matrix stuff… too much work/operation.
The really strange thing is how many people discovered calc at the
same time as Newton…
It seems to be one of the failings of the patent system. Often, when a
technology is ready, the same answers are found almost simultaneously and
independently.
