READ SOME REVIEWS
Stephen Covey has written a remarkable book about the human condition, so elegantly written, so understanding of our embedded concerns, so useful for our organization and personal lives, that it's going to be my gift to everyone I know. -- Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader
I've never known any teacher or mentor on improving personal effectiveness to generate such an overwhelmingly positive reaction.... This book captures beautifully Stephen's philosophy of principles. I think anyone reading it will quickly understand the enormous reaction I and others have had to Dr. Covey's teachings. -- John Pepper, President, Procter and Gamble
Stephen R. Covey's book teaches with power, conviction, and feeling. Both the content and the methodology of these principles form a solid foundation for effective communication. As an educator, I think this book to be a significant addition to my library. -- William Rolfe Kerr, Utah Commissioner of Higher Education
Few students of management and organization -- and people -- have thought as long and hard about first principles as Stephen Covey. In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, he offers us an opportunity, not a how-to guide. The opportunity is to explore ourselves and our impact on others, and to do so by taking advantage of his profound insights. It is a wonderful book that could change your life. -- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence
I have learned so much from Stephen Covey over the years that every time I sit down to write, I'm worried about subconscious plagiarism! Seven Habits is not pop psychology or trendy self-help. It is solid wisdom and sound principles. -- Richard M. Eyre, author of Life Balance and Teaching Children Values
We could do well to make the reading and use of this book a requirement for anyone at any level of public service. It would be far more effective than any legislation regarding ethical conduct. -- Senator Jake Garn, first senator in space
When Stephen Covey talks, executives listen. -- Dun's Business Month
Covey validates the durable truths as they apply to family, business, and society in general, sparing us the psycho-babble that pollutes so much of current literature on human relations. His book is not a photograph, but a process, and should be treated as such. He is neither an optimist nor a pessimist, but a possibilist, who believes that we and we alone can open the door to change within ourselves. There are many more than seven good reasons to read this book. -- Steve Labunski, Executive Director, International Radio and Television Society
It's powerful reading. His principles of vision, leadership, and human relations make it a practical teaching tool for business leaders today. I highly recommend it. -- Nolan Archibald, President and CEO, Black and Decker
Seven Habits is an exceptional book. It does a better job of inspiring a person to integrate the different responsibilities in one's life -- personal, family, and professional -- than any other book I have read. -- Paul H. Thompson, Dean, Marriott School of Management, BYU and author of Novation
Goodbye, Dale Carnegie. Stephen Covey has had a profound influence on my life. His principles are powerful. They work. Buy this book. Read, it, and as you live the principles your life will be enriched. -- Robert G. Allen, author of Creating Wealth and Nothing Down
This book is filled with practical wisdom for people who want to take control of their lives, their business and their careers. Each time I read a section again I get new insights, which suggests the messages are fundamental and deep. -- Gifford Pinchot III, author of Intrapreneuring
This book contains the kind of penetrating truth about human nature that is usually found only in fiction. At the end, you will feel not only that you know Covey, but also that he knows you -- Orson Scott Card, winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards
In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey serves up a seven-course meal on how to take control of one's life and become the complete, fulfilling person one envisions. It is a satisfying, energetic, step-by-step book that is applicable for personal and business progress. -- Roger Staubach, NFL Hall of Fame quarterback
