The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Independant Review -If it’s true that strategies are like recipes, then this wonderful book by Stephen Covey holds the recipe for success. A key word right in the title is “habit” not The 7 “suggestions”, it’s the 7 “habits” When you take success strategies and turn them into everyday practiced habits, you get results.I’ve read the negative reviews and can only assume that Dr. Coveys detractors either don’t have the ability or desire or the discipline to practice habits. Perhaps if Dr Covey changed the title of this book to “7 seconds to achieve ultimate success without effort” they would have liked this book more.
