Summary: Seven Habits of Highly Wealthy Bored Yuppies Only
Review: Since the book has been a bestseller for years and years, I decided to read it. Basically, it didn't tell me anything I didn't know already, and most of what it told I couldn't use. I don't have the time (nor small enough handwriting) to make out a complicated spreadsheet concerning my activities and goals everyday. This book is about 90 percent geared toward people who own their own companies. Most of the time it talks about how a person can make his/her workplace better. Though I agree with his solutions, the problem is that if you aren't running the show where you work, you generally have very little input about how things get done. I like my job very much and get along with my supervisors, but as a rule they do not appreciate suggestions on how they should do things. Their attitude is "I'm the boss, and you do as I say, regardless of whether you like it or not." Also I didn't like the fact that he decided to put people into catagories, and basically saying that if you're not focused on 'principles' and don't act a certain way all the time, there is something wrong with you. Nobody I know fits exactly into those stereotypes. I know some people who are very religious, and others who love to socialize, etc. but they don't act the way he describes. Also, he never exactly spelled out what the 'principles' were in any detail. If you have a lot of money, time, and are in a high position in some sort of corporation, this book might be for you. If you're just an ordinary person, like me, I'd recommend you skip it.

Summary: 7 Habits, Zero Insights
Review: Most overrated book of the decade. Surely it is merely the cool title that inspires people to buy this collection of obvious observations and feel-good self-improvement theoretical jargon. Anybody that actually finds the ideas in this book to be original is probably too dense to ever be an 'effective' person themselves.

Summary: This Book is helpful to people @ ALL levels of Effectiveness
Review: I am Surprised at some reviews as this book is full of wisdom and was obviously written by a great man. Whether you are having serious trouble with life and are truly ineffective or whether you seek more effectiveness in your successful life; this book will benefit you.The Seven Habits are easy to understand and are applicable in a host of life situations. The book DOES, however, require a certain (normal) degree of imagination and intellect, as it does go into deep issues that are difficult to fathom by people who have seriously underdeveloped conscience, imagination and/or self-awareness; the principles are also difficult to apply by those who lack Will. I liked the book, it took more than the average time to read, but it was worth it. I strongly recommend it. I also recommend (for different paradigms) Life Strategies by Phil McGraw, The Prince by Niccollo Machiavelli and Lincoln on Leadership by Donald Philips. You can find reviews on all these books in my members page.

Summary: Easier to learn when you listen sometimes!
Review: A cassette of an all time favorite. Do I know people who have read the book - Yes! They are very successful and have a ton of friends. My parents also highly recommend the book. I think the audio version is easier to fit into our busy lives these days.

Rating:
Summary: Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!
Review: Stephen Covey has gone way over board. This book is pretentious, complicated and exclusionary. Just say it! Four quadrants, seven habits. . .blah, blah, blah. He makes life management way too complicated and his ideas are too abstract and do not "connect" with each other. If you want an "technical" book on the "concept" of life management, this is your book. If you want a practical "life" management book that's easy to understand and apply, try "The 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management" by Hyrum Smith.
Rating:
Summary: patronizing and disturbing
Review: When Covey gives example situations of codependency, which he does alarmingly often, it is always from the _first person_. Don't listen to everything he says because he berates both himself and the reader throughout the book.

Summary: Good but wordy - A copy of Dennis Waitley's earlier book
Review: I found this book to be a good book filled with sound, basic principles, but it was a bit wordy. A better book written three years earlier though is Dennis Waitley's "Seeds of Greatness." As far as I can tell, Covey read Dennis' book, added a lot more filler, and somehow got credit (and money) for Dennis' work. Check out Waitley's book, you will like it a lot.
