The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

Stephen R. Covey

Finished Apr 2020

My notes from the book.

It is a masterpiece to preserve for and also the true human habits we all should follow to win inside and to live outside in this world. The 7 Habits that mentioned in this book are hard to follow but upon following them consistently or trying to adapt them in our life bring out huge changes to our well-being. I loved the way Dr. Covvey has installed one habit after the other. 1, 2 & 3 are for improving our integrity and 4, 5, & 6 are for learning interdependence. 7th Habit is the one that governs all 6 habits.

We all live in a value-driven society with self-defined principles. Values come from the environment we grow in and principles are decisive. We need to build our own principles to support synergy and learning to understand others before expecting them to understand us helps us to derive Win/Win situations in life.

One of the best books I've ever read. Truly the Masterpiece.
