The basics that make up a successful life are pretty simple. But they are not easy. The habits offered are solid. But, they are not quick fixes rather they are fixed principles that one should incorporate into their daily routine. The real value of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" can be realized not by reading but by executing the wisdom within.

This is a classic! I read it years ago but I still follow the principles. This book can really help you and make you appreciate even more those gorgeous Franklin Covey planners!

I enjoyed listening to this in the car. It helped me examine my priorities and how to better manage my daily commitments. Given my busy life, I would not have taken the time to sit and read this book. I found that listening to it instead was the perfect solution!

I was very disappointed by this book. I found everything, and mean everything, that he proposed as major insight or wisdom to be a restatement of a moral value that I learned growing up or a value that I learned as a young adult by trial and error. If you were raised with any kind of moral compass, you can probably skip this book.

How was this such a successful book? The guy long winded, self-congratulatory, and comes up with the most stupid analogies possible. I lost interest when he started talking about mental maps we carry in our mind. Amazing!

Incredibly valuable book for evaluating and steering your life in the direction in which you would like to go! Even when you flip through the chapters, sometimes thinking "I already do this; I already know this.", you learn more insightful information in every chapter. The subtitle tells it all: "Powerful Lessons in Personal Change". Many of the chapters have spawned additional books but here is where you start. Doing just a few of the exercises and applying them to your life gives you great perspective on where you spend your time and how to back out of the habits that leave you exhausted and unfulfilled.

A very good reader's digest version of the book. To really get a firm handle on the concepts, get the book also.
