Besides the fact that I had to read “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” for a class in school and journal along with it, I think even so I would have found this book to be a drag. This book is very long and winded. I also felt that it continually re-emphasized everything over and over. While it has some great lessons I’m not sure I fully understood the meanings of all the seven habits (i.e.” Sharpening the Saw”). Stephen Covey is a well-known author and has taught many people to be successful but perhaps I am not one of them. The only thing about this book that inspired me is to maybe write a better self help book on my own. It is quite possible that this book is for an older age group (I am in my early twenties) but I did not find it very helpful at all.
