The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
M**A
Once in a while you come across a book that gives you a chance to re-write your life.. take that chance..
This is the first review i have ever placed on any site.. Didn't care much about all this crap.. but i was compelled to write for 7 habits..For the people who are crying about the "low quality paper" . . you don't have to eat it.. you have to read it..Coming to book - (Although i feel like i am too ignorant to give a review about book, but i can try)I was constantly stopping myself from underlining all the sentences, still i have blue ink on every page - honestly..You always wanted a mentor who could show you the path to greatness - a sense of purpose in life - something to live for - something to die for..You may have messed up childhood or unloving parents.. maybe you were bullied in schools or turned down in your relationships..You have your social mask on you for many years that you can't even face yourself..You are wondering why people can't understand you, why people just want to get something from you..You feel like life is just boring and people are zombies, its just too hard to control ourselves and do what we should do..You never saw any "human" and you never learned being human.."The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation." - Henry David ThoreauThis is your chance to learn that and stop living a desperate life..with time, entropy happens(All natural processes are irreversible. All natural processes tend toward increasing disorder).. things get complex and they just get messed up.. you may think that you have time but tomorrow you will have family and kids and other responsibilities.. it won't get easy, it would get harder to organize.. so you have to take active steps to organize it..how can you do that? well, for starters - READ THIS BOOKsecondly, REVISE THIS BOOK OVER AND OVER AGAINWhat does it talk about?it talks about the principles - set of principles that governs all the world, it applies to all human beings, they are derived from nature itself - more like the words of god.. this book inspires you to leave the mediocre way of getting "quick fixes" about your visible problems and look for deeper problems - problems of the principles we live by.."ravan" was doing everything right according to his paradigm(his understanding of reality), and he was hardworking and strong too.. but his paradigm was wrong - his principles were wrong - and hence, lol you know the story..The thing is, no matter how hard you work or how smart you are, if your direction is wrong - everything is wrong..This book helps you to see the right direction - the noble direction - the direction where virtue lies, greatness lies..how to read this book?you are smart enough to know basic stuff.. but in this book, you have to sit with a computer to read about each topic in detail if that topic is related to you.. People say that it is an easy read and easy to understand - I would have to disagree, it uses easy language but the concepts are deep and each concept(not principles) have books of their own in the market.. you see, this book will give you a shield so that you can face anything in the life.. if you are introvert, think about each topic, if you are an extrovert, talk about these things - use facebook or something..As a Religion....Just like the religions unite people and bring them together(oh come on, keep those prejudices aside), this book would help to build a better society, a better organization, a better family, a better life.. where people cooperate and look for each others welfare..where people overcome the mediocrity of win/loose scarcity mentality and work with a win/win abundance mentality..last words - there are 130 million(13 Crore) books in this world.. An average Indian reads one or two non - fiction book a year.. if i were smart, i would start with the top 100 books.. This one is among the top 10..

Not just theory provides practical knowledge !
A Life-Changing JourneyI recently finished reading "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey, and I can confidently say that it has been a transformative experience.This book has had a profound impact on my life in the short six months since I first picked it up.Covey's principles, although simple, are incredibly powerful. They have taught me invaluable lessons about personal effectiveness, leadership, and interpersonal relationships.By following these habits, I have witnessed a significant improvement in my productivity, self-discipline, and overall well-being.I will never forget the six months I spent immersing myself in Covey's teachings. They have been the best months of my life, filled with growth, fulfillment, and a newfound sense of purpose. If you're looking for a book that can truly make a difference in your life, I highly recommend "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People." It's a timeless classic that will continue to inspire and guide me for years to come.

Nice book
It's an amazing Book by Stephen Covey who has instilled some amazing scienctific reasonings and solutions for habitual changes. One must read it for sure, this amazing is worth even more than 5 star but I'm giving it a 4 star because of its print quality. Anyways, it is one of the must read books who really desire to make a change. Buy it asap.
