management and organization -- and people -- have thought as long and hard
about first principles as Stephen Covey. In The Seven Habits of Highly

taking advantage of his profound insights. It is a wonderful book that could
change your life.

much from Stephen Covey over the years that every time I sit down to write, I'm
worried about subconscious plagiarism! Seven Habits is not pop psychology or trendy
self-help. It is solid wisdom and sound principles.

Chairman, President and CEO, Sears, Roebuck and Company Covey validates the
durable truths as they apply to family, business, and society in general,
sparing us the psycho-babble that pollutes so much of current literature on human

as such. He is neither an optimist nor a pessimist, but a possibility, who
believes that we and we alone can open the door to change within ourselves.
