Summary Lessons from the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People -Stephen Covey

 

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a book by Stephen Covey that outlines seven principles for personal and professional success. The book is based on the idea that our perceptions shape our reality, and that we can change ourselves and our situations by changing our mindsets. The book also emphasizes the importance of living according to universal and timeless principles that foster character and integrity. 

Here is the essence of the seven habits:

 ~ Be proactive: 
Take responsibility for your thoughts, words, and actions, and focus on what you can control.

~   Begin with the end in mind:
Have a clear vision of your goals and align your actions with them.

~   Put first things first:
Prioritize the most important and urgent tasks and avoid distractions.

~   Think win-win:
Seek mutually beneficial solutions and relationships with others.

~   Seek first to understand then to be understood:
Listen empathetically and communicate effectively.

~   Synergize:
Combine the strengths of different people and perspectives to achieve more than individually.

~   Sharpen the saw:
Renew yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
