Valuable Companion to the 7 Habits

If "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" is the theory, then this book is the application thereof. Covey sometimes feared that concrete examples might confuse readers about the habits, believing that a particular ACTION was confused for the PRINCIPLE or habit. I do not think that this is the case if a person reads the former book before tackling "The Courage to Change." The book illustrates the 7 habits in several different situations ranging from family to business and to social organizations. Some of the stories might bring readers to tears - some deal with deep tragedy. Others illustrate the courage to change long-held beliefs when reality said that those beliefs were no longer valid for the changing times and circumstances. Most of the stories are only a few pages long and can be read in one sitting. In some cases, several can be read in one sitting.

This is a must read for students of Covey.

It's not enough to know, you must also do...

I like this book. It is very inspiritional. It's sort of like Chicken Soup for the Soul or like an Millionaire Next Door for inspirition and attitude. It tells stories of people who have done it---used the 7 Habits and gotten incredible results.1 star reviewers don't like it because it takes all of the wind out of their claims against Covey and his philosophy.I particularly enjoyed the story on page 57, "I can choose my life." Very, very powerful.7 Habits should be your first book to read. You can then add this one either as a companion to while reading 7 Habits or after you get through the 7 Habits.I also recommend Principle Centered Leadership.

VERY GOOD

Awesome book! It was great to really see what the 7 habits have done for people. It gave me a greater understanding of how the 7 habits work and caused me to want to use them more. After reading this book, I was convinced of how useful the 7 habits are. Excellent book! However, I realized that without having, at least a small foundation of the 7 habits first, I probably would not have even gotten past the first story. Another highlight was Stephen R. Covey's question and answer section in the back. It helped to fill in a few emply spaces in the whole 7 habits phenomenon for me.

The proof and example of the 7 Habits

This book not only proves that the 7 Habits work, but gives the reader greater insight by example as to how they may apply the 7 Habits themselves. Covey gives some insight before and after each story for additional instruction. This book is comparable to the Chicken Soup Series, except this book contains expert instruction and explanation. A great follow up to the 7 Habits.
