It was good. I didn't read/listen for pleasure. I had to read the book because of work-related, otherwise, it was good.

A masterpiece in self help self improvement everyone shoul read this book

[Steven · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The habits set out in the book are very basic but that is exactly the reason why they are so easily overlooked by people, and therefore neglected in practice. Covey presents an interesting, all encompassing, principles-based way of living your life. I listened to the audiobook version in 1 week during my drives to and from work. I would definitely recommend The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Even if you aren’t going to use Covey’s entire system, just thinking about some of his points will be beneficial.

[Luis Miranda · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

most valuable and influential book I've read, thus far, in my life. I'll keep going back to this since there is a lot of valuable information and repetition is key

[SlakAB · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It might sound cliché but I've always found myself wanting in the aspect of listening just to respond. I got myself in a situation immediately after chapter 5 and I tried hard to practice. I was rough but I know it'll take time.. Such an amazing read. Funny it's my second time reading the book. I was pretty much younger when I read it the first time

[Team Speer Media · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]
