    The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

    10th October 2006

    I came across a resource describing the “7 habits of highly effective people” book (look here). Parts 3 and 4 of the original book, unlike the first two, are not actually reviewed – only the TOC-like listing is given. But for the first two parts of the book you get the main ideas both with original examples and the reviewer’s comments.

    I didn’t read the “7 habits” book, but at least some of the ideas presented therein do seem pretty useful. Although personally I cannot say that the actual list of “7 habits” is either complete or sufficient to be/act like a truly efficient person.

    I added “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” to the “recommended books” column at the left, because majority of self-developing tutorials/resources do have some %% of data which fits you perfectly, and thus is useful to you. If you read the book – please comment. If you think it’s a must have – tell me, or even visit my wish list at amazon :)

    P.S. It looks like these words of Aristotle appear before the book’s preface:

    We are what we repeatedly do.
    Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.

    Paraphrasing for “personal development centered people” – “Develop a habit of excellence by repeatedly excelling” :) :) :)

    Have a nice day!
