Anyone who thinks the audiocassette adaptation of Stephen Covey’s bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, is a shortcut to reading the book has another thing coming. As a preview, the cassette is worth every one of its 90 minutes; as a substitute for the original, it will only leave you wishing for the rest. There’s a reason 7 Habits has sold more than 5 million copies and been translated into 32 languages. Serious work has obviously gone into it, … More >>
Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change
How so many people read this book? I dont understand at all.
Half away it is not clear what Mr.Covey is talking about. Together with another book about the same seven habits(guess which)with short stories from the same author, the stories that are even more alienated.
I haven’t believe one of the review, which was negative and I admit, I just waste my time. Boring.
Mr. Covey’s book seems all nice & good but, the path to HELL is paved with good intentions. Meanwhile, back at the “LDS Ranch” their little followers discriminate against middle aged single women in the workplace–apparently, they prefer bare-foot & pregnant types–I know this because I’ve experienced doors slammed in my face by a myriad of their LDS-run companies. MR. Covey should write a book addressed to his fellow LDS “sheeple” on how to treat “outsiders” with respect–otherwise, their lies & cult behaviour will be more & more exposed & will only send them to their demise (ask a Catholic priest!!).
Steven Covey, although he is exceptionally talented at writing, among other things, is a Mormon. Mormons believe so many things that contradict what Jesus taught. If you are a Christian and are looking for direction, please go to the Bible. The bible will help you find the habits to make you an effective and happy person. Man may write in words that are easier for you to read, but that is all they are, easier to read.
If you want to find out what Mr. Covey REALLY believes I challenge you to read Mormonism Unmasked.
Amazon charged me $69 for this while BN sells it for $40.
What a rip off!
If your a Christian and even if your not why not just read the book God wrote for us instead of reading all these “self help” books. I was required to go through the 7 Habits at work and it was such a waste of my time. It’s common sense with Covey’s veiws added. Sorry, but not everyone has the money or resources Mr. Covey does and thus his 7 Habits are not very usefull in the long run to most people. Also take note that Mr. Covey is Mormon and you can tell it’s an influence in the writing of the 7 Habits as he recommends readings from his Mormon works. If you like this type of stuff great, buy it, but I have a hard time when I’m forced into going through it.
