I would recommend this book for anyone in their teen years and up. If you’re feeling lost in life, unhinged, disconnected, depressed - read this book. Read it slowly, reread the page you just read, let it permeate & find your centre.

I first read this book and adopted the Covey planner system a couple of decades ago. I re-read it now to refresh the ideas and enjoyed it as much as the first time. Millions of readers and user of his system could attest to it.

I liked this book very much. Highly explains the habits. This is the kind of book you always go back to and read again because the habits will require follow up.

I find that reading this book is not like a textbook. The writing of this book is common, and practical to daily life. The telling method is by referred to some real managerial stories, adding the author's points. I like the seven habits,

1. communicating efficient

2. exercising

3. asking questions

4. taking quick notes when you are not clear

5. life long education

6. prioritize the most urgent work in a day

7. learn to give up unnecessary task.

The ultimate goal of this book, is to change the way you see yourself and others around you. However this needs effort and commitment as we are all pulled back by the gravity of our habits and perceptions. It gives you the recognition that how you see the world, is not how it really is, but only your subjective interpretation of it. and that a paradigm shift (the way you see things) is necessary for any change and that starts from within. I'm still reading and practicing this book and cannot really tell the outcome, but I can assume that with applying the seven habits to your life you should have better self confidence as you proactively choose your response to every situation, will be more assertive to people around you and therefore have better relationships.

J’étais à la recherche d’un livre sur l’intelligence émotionnelle dans le but de grandir à tous les niveaux. Je n’ai pas lu tous les auteurs mais ce que j’ai lu m’a déçue. Puis je suis tombée sur ce livre. Si nous voulons devenir un magnifique arbre rempli de fruits, nous devons nous occuper des racines. Ce livre nous ouvre les yeux sur le système racinaire de nos vies. J’avoue qu’il est trop long à lire, mais il reste centré sur l’essentiel. Un guide inestimable.

The book covers well different aspects on which you can work to improve your life and your relationship with others. This is still a self-help book and have some "preachy" passages, but overall the contain is well explained and is a good step towards greatness (or at least improving a little bit)

This book should be read by everyone without exception. I have learned so much about myself and my behaviors. It gave me insight to a few things that I did not understand before. I loved the stories and examples he shared. I loved how candid he was about his life and his family. I loved the easy to understand language. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK.

This book is opening new opportunities to me, especially for my personal development, but also in my business.

However, I would highly recommend to buy the book and not the kindle version, if you can't zoom in the tables. I have kindle 4 and I can enlarge the characters but not the tables, which are not readable.... there aren't many, but still it's a shame not being able to read them!!

Anyway, excellent book, easy to read, difficult to practice!!! ;-)

Thanks Mr. Covey, you've been a real enlightment to me!

良い本だった。心に残る事例が多い。家族や友人にも読んで実践することを勧めたい。英語で読める方はやはり原語で読むことを薦める。

This is one of the best books I’ve read probably the best. Just buy it.

I highly recommend this book! So useful for your personal and professional life. One of the best books I have ever read in my life.

These 7 habits are the core of an effective life. I started reading this book as a recommendation from my manager and this book helped me understand problems that are visible and can be acted upon by just bringing these habits in my life. This is really a great read!
