Proven Success Strategies.

If it's true that strategies are like recipes, then this wonderful book by Stephen Covey holds the recipe for success. A key word right in the title is "habit" not The 7 "suggestions", it's the 7 "habits" When you take success strategies and turn them into everyday practiced habits, you get results.I've read the negative reviews and can only assume that Dr. Coveys detractors either don't have the ability or desire or the discipline to practice habits. Perhaps if Dr Covey chaged the title of this book to "7 seconds to achieve ultimate success without effort" they would have liked this book more. Other books I recommed are "Life Strategies" by McGraw and "SuperSelf" by Givens. Great books.

Strategies for Effectiveness

Knowledge is the quickest and safest path to success in any area of life. Stephen Covey has encapsulated the strategies used by all those who are highly effective. Success can be learned and this book is an excellent way to learn how to do that.I also highly recommend Turner, Turner, Turner: The King of Network Marketing to learn strategies from another highly spirited man who has learned how to achieve maximum effectiveness and keep balance in all aspects of life.

A MASTER PIECE IN PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT!

Although I have read many personal development books, 7 Habits is by far the best. No hype, hoopla, pyscho-babble that is so prevalent today, however, I submit that 7 Habits will be around long after the hypsters are gone. I work in a 1,500 staff facility and 7 Habits is required reading for all management staff. I also recommend Superself, possibly one of the most underrated books out there and Financial Self Defense which in my opinion, is the financial book version of 7 Habits.
