7 Habits of Highly Effective Families

Written by Stephen R. Covey

Narrated by Stephen R. Covey

With the same profound insight, simplicity, and practical wisdom that propelled The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to worldwide acclaim, Stephen R. Covey now focuses on the primary concern of society today—family.

True Happiness does not come from possessions or fame; it comes from the quality of your relationships with the people you love and respect. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families will help you find the answers to such common family challenges as:

-How can you move from a “me” to a “we” spirit in the family when almost everything around us rewards “me”?
-How can you have quality time for the family when both parents (or the only parent) are working simply to keep food on the table?
-How can you build harmony in the family when everyone is criticizing and putting one another down?
-How can you get your children to do their jobs and homework cheerfully, without being reminded or bribed?

Reviews for 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families

[briandarvell_1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This book has lots of good and simple ideas related to raising a family today but ultimately I found most of the material too corny and unrealistic to be used by most families. I found myself getting annoyed at much of the simplistic ideas and anecdotes. One cannot ignore the impact of society on others but you must embrace it positively - not all impact from modern culture is negative.

This book comes with a set of discussion cards and is a wonderful book to read as a family during meals. My family has had deep heart-to-heart talks based on such discussion questions. I would recommend this book for any family seeking ways to reconnect or improve their interpersonal realtionships with each other.
