Book: The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Stephen R. Covey


Speak about a late bloomer reader! But as they say, rather late than never. I have only now read Stephen Covey's very famous - 7 Habits!  Initially I was preparing myself to 'swim in syrup', due to feedback I received from other people who had read the book; however it was (thankfully) quite an easy read.

I am also very pleased that I already have some of these habits incorporated into daily life. The seven habits being: Be proactive | Begin with the end in mind | Put first things first | Think Win/Win | Seek first to understand, then to be understood | Synergise | Sharpen the saw.  

One part that I particularly liked was his explanation of integrity. "One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. When you defend those who are absent you retain the trust of those present." Stephen Covey
