Going Forward Into My Past

I first read this book more than 15 years ago, and it was still as fresh, exciting, and relevant today as it was back then. There is a simple reason why this book continues to be an international best-seller: its logical and common-sense message can be applied by all people, families, and organizations, and it has the power to transform individual characters and relationships at all levels.

Covey is a master story-teller and excellent writer who balanced humor, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality to clearly present his compelling habits (be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; sharpen the saw) in a non-intimidating way. What I find most convincing of the validity of these habits is the fact that you cannot make a compelling argument for their opposites.

I have personally experienced over the years that I can apply these seven habits to every kind of situation, and I can practice them to varying degrees depending on my individual preferences. I am also convinced that the more disciplined I am in practicing these habits the greater will be my personal, inter-personal, and organizational effectiveness.

Covey's extensive research and documentation has helped lead me over the years on a very rewarding introspective journey of self-improvement and self-discovery. He has also inspired my on-going study of leadership (personal, inter-personal, and organizational), philosophy, and character-refinement. I am constantly finding direct and indirect connections to the Seven Habits in most of the best works I read and study.

I give this book my strongest endorsement: it is one of the books I will encourage my young son to read when I feel the time is right.

good book!

We recieved this book as a gift..now we purchased it to gift someone close! The book covers many areas in daily circumstances that we often neglect to notice and correct afterward. Good pointers to think about and become more disciplined. And Excellent service from Amazon as usual!

This is a great book.

It is about principles that make sense to most intelligent people. It refers to ideas that everybody already know but keep forgetting. It is just about logic principles, and it gives easy to understand examples to apply those principles to real life for good. It is worth buying. Other book that helps me about principles about relationships is:I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

Purchased the book on CD and the workbook.
It is an interesting book makes you think a lot about life.
More philosophical than instructional.
