About this listen

Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

This audio edition is the first ever unabridged recording of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Good book with many great lessons.

Good book with great lessons however a little outdated with some story examples and that would be due to the age of the book.

Best self improvement book I have ever read

I have gone back to this book again and again, every time finding new applications and new meaning.

You may think from the title, "this book will give me some helpful tips to be more efficient in my professional life". But it is so much more than that. It contains a deep, holistic approach to becoming more effective in all aspects of your life. In fact you learn through the book that efficiency and effectiveness are not necessarily the same thing, and can sometimes be at odds with each other.

The book was written over 30 years ago however most of the material seems timeless; some of it is arguably more relevant now than then!

Well worth a read - it could be a life changer

second best book of all time

Stephen Covey was an amazing man, a Godly man.
He had a desire to share what took him a lifetime to learn with us.
The only book above this book is the Bible.
But for those who are not Christians, this book still holds huge benefits as the teaching held within can help anyone.
You will not regret buying this book.

Life-changing literature.

I gauge how effective a piece of literature is by how much I take away from it. Up until this point, 7 Habits has by far given me more useful content to use in my journey than any other writing. Well structured, with engaging case stories. Definetely worth the time.

One to read annually

Living a life of principles is what this book teaches you to do, then apply those principles to everything you do. Can see why it's a classic!

What a book

This book has served me well, I have just read again after 5 years and in reading it I realise how much it has helped me not so much in the big things but in the small but important thing in life that have compounded in large successes.
