The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

My initial review (3 stars) was way off base. There are few “success” books* that have had the impact and broad appeal of this true classic.

Although many of the ideas Covey presents in 7-habits are based on Drucker's 1966 book “The Effective Executive,” Covey's conveyed them in a manner that, over time, has caused them to become almost self-evident.

I now realize that since the time of its initial publication many authors have simply re-packaged and re-formulated the truisms that Covey serves up in “7 Habits.”

BTW I prefer the label “success” books as opposed to “self help” books because the latter is often used in a condescending manner by those who do not read them.
