 7 Habits of Hightly Effective People ReviewNov 21, 2009
7 Habits of Highly Effective People written by Stephen R. Covey has sold over 15 million copies. I bought a copy about 2 years ago and the ideas written by Mr. Covey have changed my life. I would suggest this book to anyone, as a reference to self-improvement both personally and professionally.
The book was written 1989 and the concepts are timeless making them just as useful today. With all the emerging technology in today's world it is easy to get lost in all the electronic mayhem. Following the habits outlined in this book, can make sense of how to use any emerging technological communication device or tool to work for you by reverting to the basics principles and skills to working and communicating effectively with people.
Steven R. Covey writing style is so accessible, it is easy to want to rush into implementing these habits in your daily life.
My reception:
Now, I'll warn you, this is not a book you just read once,l it is more of a reference. I found it easy to read, but you may find yourself thinking it is dry and hard to finish. My suggestion is to read it in a comfortable environment and let the ideas soak in.
I read it by taking time to fully understand the concepts and looking back over my life. By doing so this book had a profound effect on me. From the first time I read the book til now, I always try to do things more effectively by practicing the habits in this book. The book has great examples that anyone can relate to making the reading easy, engaging and worthwhile.
Who I recommend this to:
Everyone and anyone. Remember this book is a tool, you cannot expect by reading this book, your life will instantly change. It simply provides the knowledge and guidelines to help you to improving your life.

Amazon reviewNov 08, 2009
I ordered and received a used book, apparently used as a text book.
Furst of all the shipping was immediate. Secondly the book was in excellent shape. It had notes in the margin and underlinings but that was expected in a book used as it was. All markings were neat and non intrusive.
All in all it was money wisely spent.
I was very pleased with the overall experience with Amazon and would recomment it to anyone.

This book is being used in adjunct to a class offered to a group of seniors that I belong to. The class hasn't started yet and I have just now begun reading.
