"The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the best-selling book written by Dr. Stephen R. Covey entitled "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". It presents a critical analysis of the book and shows why books such as these are unoriginal and don't effectively help their readers.

From the Paper:

"The seventh point may be self-explanatory, but without it, the other six might fail. Trust your instincts. Dr. Covey calls this "Getting to Yes". It is the idea of establishing confidence in yourself, your decisions, your team, your goal, your dreams. One can read huindreds of "How To" books about management, human resources, expanding the market place, targeting consumers, knowing when to "fold 'em" (pardon, Kenny Rogers!). But, all the books are written by experts, self-styled or otherwise, whose goal may be to inform or to come up with a new, marketable gimmick, but the end goal is to make money imparting their wisdom or their sermonizing."
