Fabulous 👌

I can only try to live by the habits. I don't always succeed, if only we all tried.

Best habit book I’ve read

This book has great stories to illustrate the habits being taught.
The examples helps to give you a better insight to how to implement the 7 habit structure.
I personally loved this book and its principle lead focus.
Loved it so much bought the hard copy. Would highly recommend

Get over the hangup - does NOT push religion

There are a few reviewers who have written off the book because the author happens to merely mention - in one sentence in the prologue - that he is a Christian. Surely the problem is no more than if he had mentioned being an atheist? - Anyway it is irrelevant to the content of the book and has no bearing on the concept, which is well researched and solid. The author has presented to boards of directors of major international companies and organisations and they wouldn't buy into crap and this is in no way wishy-washy or spiritual, the principles are well set out and argued.
I let the voice - which some may find jarring - pass over me and listened to the content which was what I bought it for after all.
Very insightful and well organised.
As an open minded individual - as far as one may be - why are so many people so touchy as to junk an entire book that is well reviewed by many business leaders and thinkers (and others) simply because an author mentions that he/she has a belief system? Very odd methinks...perhaps there may be something in it. Must look deeper myself perhaps - shall look in the relevant Audible category for a scholarly work without a strong agenda in either direction methinks! - Any suggestions anyone?

Deeply insightful and though provoking

There are sections you feel already align with your daily life and then sections you realise you lack development, it kind of unfolds on itself over and over and takes you by the hand through some very clever examples. A great read, I will definitely be reading it more than twice.

Some good elements

Some really key though provoking points on effective communication however his voice is hard to listen to for the length of the book and also the end of ruined by the religious element.

Thoughtful and Inspiring

I listened to this book as I walked. Very much enjoyed; now reading in print so that I can mark up with my own thoughts.
