The 7 habits of highly effective people is Covey’s one of the most fantastic writings. Many of the other related writings are the extension of this book. It is not that there is a certain shift from "ineffective to effective" once you read this book. But that the book is motivating enough to let oneself adapt to these principles in the reader’s deeper thoughts.
The 7 habits as stated in the book are:
- be proactive
- begin with the end in mind
- put first things first
- think win-win
- seek first to understand and then to be understood
- synergize
- sharpen the saw
The book is to be read slowly....that’s in a comfortable pace so as understand line by line. We cannot expect the book to change our lives by itself, but it will definitely have very good impact on our lives if we try to understand the importance of these 7 habits.
.....A bokk worth reading.
