The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: 30th Anniversary Edition (The Covey Habits Series)

I frequently buy this book as part of my graduation presents. I just gave a young woman this book yesterday, and told her that other than the Bible, this book has been the most transformative and important book in my life. Although its been years since I read it in full, I use its principles in my life, quote it, remember it. Thinking about buying the workbook as a refresher course for myself. Not a book to read and put down. I book to transform your life if you apply its principles in your personal life and professional life.

I read this book at least 25 years ago and I get that a lot has changed in the printing industry since then. But the quality of the paper and the printing of this version is really disappointing. The text is cramped and the paper feels worse than the cheapest newsprint. One page has a printing error that makes the first handful of words nearly impossible to read. Obviously not a huge issue to have rough paper and one illegible page. Just was expecting better.

The pages quality is pretty bad.The print is faded and too small, really difficult to read.I have already read this book and thought of buying it for my personal library but i might end up returning this.

I LOVE this book. I'm 45. I've heard of this book before, but I always kind of thought it was a folksy self-help book, so I never paid attention to it. But one day I just got the most random notion to read it, so I did. It is amazing. Covey is right. He didn't create these ideas. God did (my opinion, not his). Covey just masterfully distilled them into practical nuggets. I view this book as a necessary read for anyone (especially Christians) who wants to learn how to practically steward well all that God has given them. This has really helped me in my Christian walk. I actually used the information in this book to change my life. I didn't just read it and shelve it.

I've bought Amazon/Audible books before, downloaded them and had no problems. But Audible has changed their system. So unless you use Windows (I use Linux) or have an Amazon device you will be unable to download your purchase. Amazon can NOT refund your money. I was able to get it refunded through Audible, but I've wasted close to 3 hours trying to download this as I'd been able to do so before. I did try using the Windows partition, and it was unable to download it either. So. Save yourself time, trouble, frustration and money if you don't have a amazon device and don't buy this version.

I now understand why people think so highly of this book. Amazing concepts, ideas and theories - and truths - to integrate into both one’s personal and professional life; it really makes you think and (re)consider. I’ve had multiple “wow” moments as some ideas and ways of thinking really spoke to me. Sean Covey’s additions and perspectives were a great touch, I found, as well.I didn’t expect the book to have actionable items and exercises you could work on as you read it - found this captivating. Highly recommend, as do many, many others!

Honestly I have read so many books that I started to not just focus on the material but also of the style of writing. In my humble opinion, the content is great. The execution however, is terrible. I hated reading this book because of its style. I would never recommend a new reader to read this book because I know he will end up not liking to read in general. Remember, the best way for someone to learn is to give them a good time as they learn. Although I a disciplined... most of my friends said they couldn’t finished. OVERRATED

I began reading the kindle version of this book. I really enjoyed the book after the first 100 pages and wanted a physical copy. Where the kindle book had diagram errors, I briefly skimmed through the hardcover copy and it seems to be corrected in this edition. Will update review about book content once I actually finish. Additionally, I had to reorder my hardcover book because it came dinged. The second copy seems free of any defects, but is still a bit dirty/smudgey on the cover.

Very good reading. It reads very well.I found there are a lot of tips that helps me with my current life situation.I recommend this book for those who want to move forward, be proactive or just fancy a stimulating reading.

Beautiful book I can't wait to read it. Fantastic sevice.

Brilliant book highly recommend!

I approached this book with a mild curiosity and without knowing anything about it. I have recently finished this book and can say that this has the power to change people in a deep way. This book has offers excellent practical guidance that can be used professionally and in your everyday life. I have just ordered the work book and I am looking forward to applying this profound paradigm to shift to my life in as fundamental a way as possible. I should also say that I am an Atheist, and normally encountering any religious material in a book like this would be off putting and would trivialize the content. Not so here. While it didn’t really add to my experience of the book, it didn’t overwhelm the material.All in all this is one of the best books I’ve ever read.

This book single-handedly changed my perspective on everything life. I came across this book through the audiobook last year, then I bought the physical copy and it changed everything. It helped me gain purpose and it made everything clear. I came across the book in high school and now in university it has helped me so much. Habits 1-3 are based on personal mastery, and habits 4-6 are based on interpersonal mastery. The 7th habit is based on all of them. The book is really good for people working, people in school, parents, and people who want to make ANY kind of change in their lives. This is a must-read. Can't thank Stephen R. Covey enough for everything.
