An ideal guide to building your personality by altering your habits
It is rightly said that habits make or break a man. If you want to know why you are not doing something right, sometimes all you need is to perform an analysis of your habits and consider altering them. Because sometimes it?s not about what you do, but more about how you do it! And that's where your habits play a very important role.
'The 7 habits of Highly Effective People' is a book that aims at providing its readers with the importance of character ethics and personality ethics. The author talks about the values of integrity, courage, a sense of justice and most importantly, honesty. The book is a discussion about the seven most essential habits that every individual must adopt to in order to live a life which is more fulfilling.
Content of the book:
The author continues to take the readers through the journey of character development. He elaborates how the development of the character of a being ranges from the time of his birth to the years until he grows independent. The first three habits demark the development one goes from dependence to independence. The next three habits describe in detail about interdependence while the final seventh habit deals with the new self, that is renewal.
The book is highly recommended for people of all ages. It also holds a record of having over 25 million copies sold in about as many as 40 languages all over the world.
About the Author:
Stephen R Covey, the author of the book, is known to hold an MBA from the Harvard University. In his previous years of schooling, Covey also has studied Religious Education and Business Administration. It was in his doctoral thesis that Covey came across a contrast in the literature regarding self-help. His observations marked that the books post 1920?s focused highly on personality traits while the ones before that focused on character development. That is when the author put forth his belief about how a balance between the two is more essential than the two in isolation.

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 Thoreau
This 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 BOOK
secondly, REVISE THIS BOOK OVER AND OVER AGAIN
What 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..
Worth purchasing
There's no easy way to get yourself better every single day until and unless you put certain principles ,in action, in your life.
Habit 1 ( Be proactive ) is about of making right decisions at the right time.
"If you live each day as your last, then, someday you will be most certainly be right " said Steve Jobs at Stanford years ago and somewhere near to this edifying lesson, Author has put second habit( Begin With End in Mind ) by making the reader to imagine his/her own funeral & what does you want people over there to say in eulogy ?
Habit 3( Put First Thing first ) is embedded in such a way that it'll somehow leave a deep impression on the soul of reader to segregate what's important & what's not , what to handle with immediate attention & what to put on hold for sometime. On a dinner table, when asked both Gates & Buffet 'The most important factor in the journey of life' & both gave a one word answer ' Focus '
Habit 4(Win/Win) is basically related to professional life, albeit could also be put in personal or academic life,and talks about how the ideology of getting profit to both sides on table help in nurturing the basic relationship & ease the path of any deal.
Habit 5( Seek First To Understand,Then to understood ) is about emphatically understanding other's situation & then response as if you're walking in their shoes.
Habit 6( Synergize ) is about promoting the concept of group achievements in which every member of the group plays an important role to increase the overall gain of the group which is always more than the gain achieved by any individual.
Habit 7( Sharpen the Saw ) include the basic concept of private victory which include the meditation and salutary habits which help you keeping up the pace for all other 6 habits.
So, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, is a must read !!!!
Top reviews from other countries
So, this version is more like a summary and offers only the key phrases. I was not aware of that when I ordered it.
BUT, what really bothers me and makes this product obsolete is the fact that you cannot change the reading size. Neither letters nor lines can be made bigger (one of the key kindle features) and even with my reading glasses, it is more stress to read than to enjoy this version.
Sorry, this was not made as a kindle product as far as I am concerned
