The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

About 7 Habits

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989) by Stephen R. Covey is the best-selling leadership and personal development book of the 20th century — a framework for effectiveness organized around seven habits that progress from private victory (independence) to public victory (interdependence) to continuous renewal. Covey's principle-centered approach drew on his study of 200 years of American success literature and proposed that lasting effectiveness requires aligning behavior with universal, timeless principles of character rather than techniques of personality.
