In a past life I dreamt of doing everything in this book, but that was in the mid-2010s and I just don't find a lot of the information in this relevant/timely now. The high level points still are valid, but the way in which Tim achieved all this doesn't seem possible today.

It is worth the read, but in my view, solely because he shows you there are other ways to approach work.

7 Habits is one of those books you hear about from people from all industries and all ages. I'm always skeptical of books that fit that description as I find it very rare that people agree on things.

This book was so thought-provoking and inspiring for me. I'm currently taking a look at my life, health, and career as I get older. And this book came into my view at the perfect time.

Covey offers actionable, clear advice on how to be a better leader, but also a better person. His examples are from different viewpoints, including different ones than his (he admits he's very religious towards the end and how he approached writing the book with that in mind). However, I don't think one should discount it just because of the religious lens. I'm not a religious person and I find all of the habits to be actionable for me.

I'd recommend this to anyone who is confused in a job or career, as a new manager, or just looking to improve their life.

This book moved me to tears several times. It's a little Hallmark card-like, but the core themes are as important as ever today. I find myself fascinated by my own death Morrie's outlook is so admirable. If I can share even half his outlook on life and death, then I will be pleased with who I become.
