Some books are effective in their voice or narrative or larger-than-life characters. Other books are effective in their impact. And then there are the books about effectiveness.
Such is the case with The Seven Habits of Highly-Effective People, by Steven Covey, a book that has indeed taken on larger-than-life status and sales and one that will impact anyone who reads it. Business, school, relationships, life . . . makes no difference. The Seven Habits are simple yet profound in their implications for creating a better life . . . not necessarily wealthier. The book is really about inner strength and resiliency, the source of much of our happiness and outlook.
Mr. Covey has turned this enterprise into a cottage industry all its own, and everyone from business leaders to school children have benefited from thinking about the seven habits.
Habits, of course, don't come without awareness and practice. It's tough, but one can improve in any area of life by reading this book.
