Summary
When Stephen Covey first released The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People， the book became an instant rage because people suddenly got up and took notice that their lives were headed off in the wrong direction; and more than that， they realized that there were so many simple things they could do in order to navigate their life correctly。 This book was wonderful education for people， education in how to live life effectively and get closer to the ideal of being a ‘success’ in life。
But not everyone understands Stephen Covey’s model fully well， or maybe there are some people who haven’t read it yet。 This is definitely true because we still see so much failure all around us。 Now， I am not saying that by using Covey’s model， or anyone else’s model for that matter， you can become a sure-shot success， but at least we should have seen many more successes around us already judging by the number of copies the book has sold！ So， where is the shortcoming？
There are two main problems here， and we are talking only about the people who have read the book already。 The first problem is that most people are too lazy to implement the ideals of Stephen Covey in their lives。 They consider his masterpiece of a book as a mere coffee-table book or a book that you use for light reading when you are traveling and then forget all about it。 They do not realize that this book contains life-changing information。 Or， they take the information and do not make the effort to actually utilize it so that it becomes knowledge for them。
The second problem is that a lot of people have a myopic view of Covey’s ideals。 These are people who are impressed by the book already。 If you ask them what the seven habits are， they can rattle them off end to end， but then they miss the larger picture。 They do not understand that Covey was trying to tell more than he wrote in words。 There are hidden implications in this book， yes， and a lot of people have just failed to see through them。
That is what we are trying to do。 We are trying to show you how Covey’s book， or rather， his model， was a complete model in itself。 There was nothing amiss about it。 If you implement it， there should be no aspect of your life that should go untouched。 The only thing is that you have to understand these ideals and try to implement them in your life。
But， before we barge into that area， it is extremely important to understand what these ideals are。 What was the model that was propounded by Stephen Covey in his mega-famous book？ We shall begin by trying to understand his model first， and then interpret it in such a way that it pertains to every aspect of our life

Öncelikle belirtmek isterim ‘kişisel gelişim’ kitabı okuyarak kişisel gelişilebileceğini düşünmüyorum 。Zaten bu tür kitaplara da biraz önyargılıyım。İsterseniz her şeyi başabilirsiniz，özgüvenli olmak için kendinize güvenin，her zaman pozitif olun，mükemmel olmanın üç kısa yolu gibi gerçekçi olmayan kitapların çok satanlarda olması hep şaşırtmıştır 。Bu konuyla ilgili @mirguncabas’ın da Kafa Rahatlatan Sohbetler’de Kişisel Gelişebilir miyiz？ diye bir bölümü vardı。Benim de görüşlerim çok paralel bu no Öncelikle belirtmek isterim ‘kişisel gelişim’ kitabı okuyarak kişisel gelişilebileceğini düşünmüyorum 。Zaten bu tür kitaplara da biraz önyargılıyım。İsterseniz her şeyi başabilirsiniz，özgüvenli olmak için kendinize güvenin，her zaman pozitif olun，mükemmel olmanın üç kısa yolu gibi gerçekçi olmayan kitapların çok satanlarda olması hep şaşırtmıştır 。Bu konuyla ilgili @mirguncabas’ın da Kafa Rahatlatan Sohbetler’de Kişisel Gelişebilir miyiz？ diye bir bölümü vardı。Benim de görüşlerim çok paralel bu noktada。İlgisini çekenler dinleyebilir。🤗Şimdi gelelim bu kitabı nasıl bulduğuma。Öncelikle benim okuduğum kitap 68。baskı。Bunu kitabın iyi oluğunu belirtmek için söylemiyorum ama 30 seneden fazla bu tarz bir kitabın satılıyor olması neresinden baksanız ilginç。Kitap aslında içten-dışa uygulanabilir bir model sunuyor。Etki alanımızda olanlar ve bizim dışımızda gelişenleri kontrol edebilmekle modellenmiş。1。Proaktif ol。Hayatınızda etkin rolü siz alın。2。Sonunu düşünerek işe başla:İlkelerin olsun。Şirketlerin vizyon-misyonları olurken kişilerin neden olmasın？。Kişisel misyon bildirgenizi tanımlayın。3。Önceliklendirme:Yapılacak çok şey var，hepsi acil。Ne yapmalı？4。karşılıklı bağlılık paradigmaları。（Kazan-Kazan ）:Bunu daha önce konuşmuştuk。TAda ben Ok’im sen OK’sinle paralel。5。Önce anlamaya çalış，sonra anlaşılmaya:Etkili dinleme，empati yapma6。Sinerji yarat:Bu aslında biraz yukarıdakilerin birleşimi sonucu gibi düşünülebilir 。7。Baltayı bile:Kendini Yenile。Nerede durman dinlenmen gerektiğini bil。Ama kendini nasıl yenileyeceğini de belirle。Bunlar kitabın 7 ana başlığı tek tek çok farklı bir şey söylemese de birleştiğinde güzel bir model oluşturulmuş 。Satır aralarında kendinizi，iş arkadaşlarınızı，yöneticinizi bulabileceğiniz bir derleme。 。。。more

This book has so many great life lessons and contains some of my favourite quotes。 Definitely worth a read⭐️ It is， however， a book which requires your undivided attention- not something to read with distractions in the background。 I found that Covey likes to illustrate his points using stories。 This is a good way to explain things but sometimes one point is explained using multiple consecutive stories。 I ended up skipping some pages because I personally didn’t need to read the extra stories to This book has so many great life lessons and contains some of my favourite quotes。 Definitely worth a read⭐️ It is， however， a book which requires your undivided attention- not something to read with distractions in the background。 I found that Covey likes to illustrate his points using stories。 This is a good way to explain things but sometimes one point is explained using multiple consecutive stories。 I ended up skipping some pages because I personally didn’t need to read the extra stories to appreciate the lesson he was teaching :） 。。。more

“Unity， or oneness， is complementariness， not sameness。”This book summarises timeless and universal principles applicable to all personal and professional aspects of both individuals and units。 It is filled with a number of personal notes and real life examples experienced by Covey himself。 I definitely find it challenging to integrate all 7 habits into each day but being able to see myself slowly move along the upward spiral using this book is rewarding。 I feel the praise and foreword sections “Unity， or oneness， is complementariness， not sameness。”This book summarises timeless and universal principles applicable to all personal and professional aspects of both individuals and units。 It is filled with a number of personal notes and real life examples experienced by Covey himself。 I definitely find it challenging to integrate all 7 habits into each day but being able to see myself slowly move along the upward spiral using this book is rewarding。 I feel the praise and foreword sections were a bit excessive but great read overall。 。。。more

I was very excited about this book， because of how popular it has been。 I should note that I listened to the audiobook version， which I think is a mistake for a book with so many shorthands that flipping back and forth between pages would have been very helpful。 However， I still think that this was a weak essay bloated out to book size with several variations of the same "examples"， where Stephen Covey told personal stories and then made up alternate scenarios to prove his points。 I would have f I was very excited about this book， because of how popular it has been。 I should note that I listened to the audiobook version， which I think is a mistake for a book with so many shorthands that flipping back and forth between pages would have been very helpful。 However， I still think that this was a weak essay bloated out to book size with several variations of the same "examples"， where Stephen Covey told personal stories and then made up alternate scenarios to prove his points。 I would have far preferred actual research and data。 Additionally， the 7 habits themselves were not particularly clear and well-explained。 It felt very much like someone trying to give general advice for every aspect of life based only on their business management skills。 I did not gain much， if any insight from this book。 。。。more

This book was absolutely painful to read， but only because I can’t stand self help books， however the content is so paramount it should be taught in school。

This is not a book that can be mastered in one read through。 I stayed in each chapter for a month revisiting it and finding new meaning with each revisit。 This book may come off as obvious but it isn't if you really take the time to digest it。 It took me a year to get through it and I will be rereading this for years to come。There's a reason why this book is referenced so much。 This is not a book that can be mastered in one read through。 I stayed in each chapter for a month revisiting it and finding new meaning with each revisit。 This book may come off as obvious but it isn't if you really take the time to digest it。 It took me a year to get through it and I will be rereading this for years to come。There's a reason why this book is referenced so much。 。。。more

Definitely a must read。 I would say it’s a kind of right of passage for anyone who wants to live a well thought out and happy life。 Tons of practical ways to think about life that I still use in my every day thought processing。 Quadrant II activity baby！ Gotta get that in！ Don’t be a quadrant I fool。

A great book。 I didn't learn that much from it。 However， I did feel as if I was talking to someone who shares all of my ideas。 While the title might give you the impression that this book is only for those who want to progress in their careers ， it's not only about that。 As a matter of fact， this book is about how you progress in life in general and not just career-wise。 I strongly recommend that people read this book。 It's a masterpiece。 A great book。 I didn't learn that much from it。 However， I did feel as if I was talking to someone who shares all of my ideas。 While the title might give you the impression that this book is only for those who want to progress in their careers ， it's not only about that。 As a matter of fact， this book is about how you progress in life in general and not just career-wise。 I strongly recommend that people read this book。 It's a masterpiece。 。。。more
