“The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey is one of those classic must read self-help books. It’s a book about how to win at work and at life. Covey’s main idea in the book is that to change our lives, we must first change ourselves. To change ourselves, we must change the way we look at the world and others, a perspective shift. The 7 habits are mostly common sense, but as we all see out in the world everyday, common sense isn’t very common anymore is it? With our devices and deadlines vying for more of our attention, self-discipline seems to have all but disappeared. Covey challenges us to take back control of our noisy world around us and be more of a proactive thinker than a reactive responder. How to manage our priorities, negotiate, make the most of the time we have, listen well, and take care of ourselves seem like age old principles, yet none of us seem to have perfected them yet. So, go grab this one. If you’re a business leader, employee, or just a person who interacts with other people, you’ll find practical tips for a better life in “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey.
