Review Quotes

"[Thirty] years after it first appeared, the wisdom of The 7 Habits is more relevant than ever. On an individual level people are burning out, and on a collective level we are burning up the planet. So Dr. Covey's emphasis on self-renewal and his understanding that leadership and creativity require us to tap into our own physical, mental, and spiritual resources are exactly what we need now."

-- "Arianna Huffington"

"Every so often a book comes along that not only alters the lives of readers but leaves an imprint on the culture itself. The 7 Habits is one of those books."

-- "Daniel Pink, author of Drive and When"

"This book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, opened the eyes of the world to a liberating truth: that our mind-sets play strange tricks on us...Dr. Covey taught that the key to changing our lives is to change that mind-set about ourselves--to realize that we are each incalculably rich in potential and possibilities."
