   Summary: a great resource for lifetime
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

this is a great book. I have to read it for one of my classes, but
I am really glad I got assigned to read it.

It is a great resource of knowledge that could help one throughout
their whole life.

I strongly recommend it!

   Summary: very inspiring
We had Covey training at my elementary school before school started. We were asked to read Stephen Covey's son's book 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens because it was an easy read before school started. Well, I HAD to read the original book by Stephen because it would give me so much more information! It has been very inspiring and I can't believe it has been around so long and still so relevent!

   Summary: Major Role In The Development Of Saturn's Operating Systems And Philosophy
"Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People played a MAJOR ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF SATURN'S OPERATING SYSTEMS AND PHILOSOPHY.
Our commitment to quality and to our customers has its roots in the 7 Habits."

   Summary: simplicity
I bought this book over a year ago. Now I can judge the results of the book from experience. Overall, the book is great tool for any person to begin changing her life, but it does lack the how-to quite often. That part is left to the reader unexpressed.

As many of the negative reviews of this book indicate, there are some underlying Christian, more specifically Mormon, ideas presented in the 7 Habits. I myself am an agnostic yet after reading the 7 Habits I found nothing to dissuade me from testing the ideas put forth by Covey. None of the habits suggests the reader should convert, abandon his/her own thoughts or be eternally damned. If I dismissed his writing simply due to my assumptions of his belief or my disagreement of some of this thoughts, I would be no different than all the fundamentalists who do so in the name of God. So I tested the habits.

I was already a person who enjoyed a successful family and financial life as fruits of my own labor. That didn't stop the book from making a difference. Truly seeking to empathize while silencing my own thoughts and experiences led to a far greater bond with my family members. Putting first things first and beginning with the end in mind, ABSOLUTELY progressed my life. It has been over a year. Thanks to this book, I found the courage, discipline, and time to create a vision for myself. I left my 6 figure salary job that I knew deep down made no difference beyond the appropriate use of my paycheck to start my own company; one that created synergy and actively and selflessly gave back to the community. The company is doing great and my employees are onboard for life. I have never been so fulfilled inside yet I know my self-development is not yet complete. I believe I had the thirst and initiated the search myself. Eventually I would get there with or without the 7 habits, but it held my hand through the initial stages.

What the book lacks is further practices on such topics as nurturing one's independent will. The wording itself is rather proprietary, so beyond a thorough explanation Covey should have provided more ideas or exercises on the development of this "human endowment". This is a trend throughout the 7 Habits; one that I feel takes away from the effectiveness of it.
