Synopsis
The book that popularized the expressions "proactive" and "paradigm shift" and encouraged millions of people to rearrange their priorities remains influential many years after its first printing. Accentuating ethics, integrity, and leadership, Stephen Covey's classic self-help book is written for managers and others who want to balance their career responsibilities with their family lives, and approach both from a principle-centered standpoint. Although Covey's program is full of catch-phrases, it is neither simpleminded nor superficial, and it bears rereading, as its message of self-determination sinks in deeper each time.

Publisher's Note
"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," answers the need in the individual to overcome personal chaos. It boldly defines seven habits that act on each other to propel an individual from a negative co-dependence, to dependence, to independence, & finally to the ideal, interdependence. The first three habits develop a private victory of independence. The next three habits create an environment of interdependence (a public victory). The seventh habit teaches balanced renewal of the human psyche & body which creates the ideal of optimal synergy. This book fills in the "missing link" in the Recovery Movement. It can literally lift a person up & out of a miserable life style. Principles of balanced self-renewal are explained in clear & concise detail.
A revolutionary guidebook to achieving peace of mind by seeking the roots of human behavior in character and by learning principles rather than just practices. Covey's method is a pathway to wisdom and power.
