A classic that everyone should read
Already a great classic, Stephen R. Covey’s “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” remains one of the best books to share. The book, which has sold more than 25 million copies, remains a best seller in which Covey gives guidelines for personal growth.
His method is clear: in seven stages the reader must understand and put these habits into practice, adapting them to their personality and applying them freely in all areas of business life. The author also narrates penetrating and significant anecdotes designed to make us reflect on each of our actions and on how to access change.
The approach to change according to Stephen R. Covey
Stephen R. Covey, the so-called American Socrates, makes us reflect on each of our actions and on how to access change and true peace of mind.
Through “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, the result is the construction of a bomb-proof self-confidence through the development of one’s own character, integrity, honesty and human dignity necessary to transform our work universe and change it into something authentic, unique and non-transferable.
This book was published for the first time in 1989 and is the result of a study of the “literature of success” by its author, in a personal search.
However, the 7 principles that Covey discovered, by way of laws to develop our best qualities, divest ourselves of preconceptions and face the challenges of a time in which everything seems to change every moment, have proven their validity and changed not only millions of people around the world, but the culture of various companies as well.
