    This book is very powerful! I have been looking for this kind of book since I was young. There are so many questions I was unable to answer so I always wanted to find something that can be a rule (somehow) for me to follow and set my standard. Reading this book really gives me insights about life and how to transform your thoughts, so it can not only help you but also others. I resonate with so many ideas from this book and those truly give me a belief that I will learn something significantly valuable to my life! I highly recommend this book to anyone!

    Once again, a quick review here. I was reading, "Unlimited Memory" by "Grand-Master" Kevin Horsley and on pages (pgs.)58-59 GM Horsley Mention's this outstanding work I read an "exceedingly" long time ago. It also "assisted" me, as many "Veterans" have memory issue's due to various "psycho-tropic" medications the US Department of Veteran Affairs (DVA/ DOA??) places them on despite the DVA's own "literature" most "VETERANS" do not suffer from "MAJOR" Mental Health Issues, such as B--Polar Disorder, Personality Disorder, and the "Schizo" "spectrum of Disorder's!" Furthermore, the color of THIS WORKS cover, reminded me of "The Book of Symbol's-Reflection's On Arch-Typal Images" where on pgs. 330-331, The Human World, symbiology begins. Interestingly, these pages are in "Orange" "Black" and "Cream" but under other light sources turn Blue and Grey-Silver in color- I thought that odd. This oddity reminded me of the "House of Orange" or the "Dutch" and "Irish" of the "North!" These colors also represent the various "Royal's" of Europe, whom all intermarried! Just like the movie "Jupiter Ascending/ Rising" with Channing Tatum and Sean Bean and Mila Kunas, an ex-terrestrial "Royal" family is fighting over the fate of the Earth. In that regard what has in fact really changed from the day's of the Dutch East India Trading Company and all the fighting over control of the known "World" with "Primarily" England and Spain?????? It is kind of like the song "....welcome to the NEW WORLD same as the OLD World!"

    The above being said, this book illuminate's a whole lot of things, as "salesmen" are taught to "win" one over first before really "getting" into the details of the "product" they are selling, which they are supposed to "KNOW" "pretty much" everything about as well as their "competitor’s " product's!

    Bottom-Line: Everyone, “color-irrespective," should read this book along with numerous other "text" books such as "How to Win Friends & Influence People!

    PS: Would be "Interesting" to know what "foreign" "Entities" such as Dutch, French, Spanish, English, and other "countries" have invested in or "own" in the United States and "Around" the "Globe1"

    I read this book many years ago. I decided to gift this book to my 19 year old son so that he can derive his own value from its teachings. Quite honestly, this book along with Carnegies and Robert Greene's have been the blueprint of my professional life. I highly recommend it to those that are in need of a self-driven guide to success.

    Covey has a tendency to use the "if it is worth saying, it's worth saying three times" method of teaching his concepts. I find that annoying. It's a book. I can re-read key concepts. So I have to shrug off that annoyance and focus on the message. That's why I give it four stars. But the message is outstanding. Sometimes it is a little hard to take - but only because it involves self-appraisal, which is not easy for people who have just come to realize that they actually NEED this book! What I most like about this particular e-book edition is that one can use the Evernote app to answer the reader's guide questions and jot down your thoughts as you go. It's a nice additional learning tool that works great on my Android-based tablet.

    Most books about habits give you ideas that can be practiced daily, on a set schedule. The habits in this book are a bit different. I don't actually think of all of them as habits at all. The book is more about changing your perspective.

    In my opinion, the first 4 habits in this book should be mastered before pursuing any other other habit from any book.

    Life changing book for sure. This book has taught me how to not only deal with my myself, but how to work with other people to achieve the most optimal results. This book really focuses on results, rather than methods. It gets your brain working!

    Doesn't get any better than this. This is the number one most important book anyone can read in developing themselves. Such an incredibly powerful catalyst for personal change and development. If any sincere effort is made to apply the principles in this book is made, it is impossible for your life not to change. EVERYONE should read this book, no matter their age, race or position in society.

    Reviewed in France on October 23, 2017
    Le produit est conforme à la description. J'ai rapidement reçu l'item sans aucun soucis d'emballage ou autres.

    Sans doute le meilleur livre que j'ai lu jusqu'à maintenant sur ces topiques de self-improvement. Les 7 Habits sont très profond et font beaucoup de sens. Rien d'étonnant à ce que toutes les grandes entreprises fassent des formations basées sur ce livre et qu'il se soit vendu à plusieurs millions d'exemplaires.
