Living the 7 Habits: The Courage to Change | |
Success that endures -- sustainable and balanced success -- can seem difficult to achieve in today's turbulent, complex world of change. But those who achieve this kind of success live by seven universal, timeless, self-evident principles that apply in any situation, in any culture.
In Living the 7 Habits: The Courage to Change, Dr. Covey shows how successful people have used these principles to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and change their lives. By showing how real people have used the principles to thrive in a changing world, he provides practical guidance and powerful inspiration to readers searching for a proven framework for living a meaningful life.

Stephen Covey's famous 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has been teaching people and organizations how to be more effective since 1989. But how do Covey's principles translate for real people living their lives? Living the 7 Habits presents more than 70 little stories of people as they meet challenges and practice the seven habits. Some are ordinary slices of life; others are pivotal moments or life changes. A 76-year-old man who had overdrawn his wife's "emotional bank account" starts making deposits of chores, favors, and special dates until love is rekindled. A woman changes her life after her husband dies of cancer. Children teach parents empathic listening. A banker-turned-minister, cleaning his gun as his pregnant wife naps on the couch, accidentally discharges it, killing his wife and the unborn child, and learns to recover from grief and guilt. Parents learn to hear their teenagers' anxieties with respect and understanding. A clinical-psychology researcher, moved by statistics that one-third of foster kids never return to their birth parents or get adopted, creates a village for former "unadoptable" children, their new parents, and volunteer "grandparents." The stories are organized thematically into individual, family, community, education, and workplace--with commentary from Covey following each story. If you practice the seven habits and seek inspiration and a feeling of community, this book will help you find both. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
专业书评 From Publishers Weekly
Covey fans and booksellers alike will be delighted by this collection, perfect for June gift-giving occasions and destined for a long life. For 10 years, the author's famed Seven Habits of Highly Effective People has influenced countless individuals and organizations worldwideAand sold millions of copies. Conceding that the earlier books may have been long on theory and light on practice, Covey and his team culled thousands of testimonials for examples of the principles in action. The resulting collection of more than 75 true stories will satisfy the full range of Covey constituents. Though the storytelling is always first-person, the focus is consistently on the underlying principle, reinforced by Covey's commentary. Handily arranged by situationAwithin individual, family, community, workplace and educational settingsAand varying in depth and power, the stories offer intriguing and provocative lessons. They are mostly brief and often inspiring, but are by no means simplistic; they readily lend themselves to informal teaching and discussion. Some are dramatic and hard to forget: a woman facing a debilitating disease; a convict finding his mission while in prison. Many instructive stories deal with more routine problems, such as how to handle a sullen teenager sensitively or accommodate the needs of an elderly relative. Longer entries from executives of Shell Oil, Olivet College and Alphagraphics, and about the rejuvenation of South Bend, Ind., will appeal to strategic thinkers. This is a Covey classic.

Practical applications for Covey's highly effective people.

From AudioFile
The author of the ever-popular The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People begins by presenting habits of ineffective people. Effective habits follow and are discussed in depth. Although Covey's advice, designed for both personal and organizational applications, appears to be common sense, it's sense that's seldom followed. A booklet is included for a quick review of habits. Covey speaks with enthusiasm and reminds us of all the simple but important foundations of living. E.L.C.

From Booklist
Covey's wife has told him often, he says, that he doesn't use enough real-life inspirational stories in his motivational speeches and texts. This book strives to rectify that situation. The seven-habits success stories in it are sorted into four big sections labeled "Individual," "Family," "Community and Education," and "Workplace" and, within them, into groups of stories about a particular kind of success--for example, "Seeking Life Balance," "Leading Organizations," and "Building Community." In each story, the particular habits its teller reports using are specified by bracketed insertions, such as "[Habit I: Be Proactive]." Plenty of Family of Mantype photos decorate, and Covey stitches the stories together with commentary. In the 10 years since 7 Habits of Highly Effective People debuted, so ubiquitous has Covey's self-help system become that it is hard to recall whether terms attached to the habits--such as win-win, synergize, and proactiveare his coinages (we did use proactive before 1989, didn't we?). No matter, they are now included in the registered trademarks of his Franklin Covey Co., just as the testimonies in this book are copyrighted by Franklin Covey Co. That is, they are all intellectual property of the 4,500-member company, and presumably even the corporate CEOs who testify in the book's last section better watch what they publicly say about how they stepped up Covey's stairway to success, or they will be fighting infringement suits. Libraries should get Covey's newest, but librarians should, perhaps, police their readers'-advisory verbiage about it.
