Description
ABOUT THE BOOK
Since its release in 1989, Stephen Coveys The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold over 25 million copies worldwide, been translated into over 33 languages, and is widely considered one of the most popular self-help books of all time.
The book is organized into four main parts: part one paradigms and principles; part two private victory; part three public victory; and part four Renewal and is structured around 7 axioms of effective living.
Though Covey is ostensibly writing lessons in personal change, the principles that guide the 7 Habits are readily applied to organizations from families to government agencies to the mega-companies that comprise the Fortune 500.
MEET THE AUTHOR

EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK
When you look at this picture, what do you see? Depending on how youve been primed up until this point in your life, you may see a picture of a beautiful young woman. Or, you may instead see an ugly old lady. Or theres a third possibilityyou may be able to switch back and forth between the two.
The important point here though is that the culmination of our experiences and approach to life creates the lense with which we see the world, or our own personal paradigm. The realization that paradigms exist and affect the way in which each of us understands the world is a critical precursor to Habit 1.
Habit 1 revolves around another realization, that we are intelligent creatures with the ability to make autonomous decisions. We may not be able to control our environment, but we can control the way we react it. We are able to think and behave in a way of our choosing; we have freedom of will.
