A Note from the Editor

I was twelve years old when I first got my hands on a copy of Stephen R. Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I should explain that I am not from a country known for being highly effective—though in truth, highly effective people exist everywhere around the world. Before reading The 7 Habits and applying its principles to my life, everything seemed out of my control. My homeland, Haiti, was under the rule of a brutal dictator, and I attended a rigid school where individuality seemed to be a luxury I couldn’t afford.

But I had big dreams to build a better life than what I saw around me, and to say that Dr. Covey’s book changed my life would be an understatement. It re-engineered my thinking, led me to understand that there were factors I could influence despite being in a situation that seemed so utterly beyond my control, and taught me that I did indeed have the power to change my circumstances. I used its principles to build a future brighter than anything I could have imagined at twelve years of age. I would say the most important lesson I learned from The 7 Habits was to check my paradigms—to ask myself if they were accurate and complete. That one principle alone has kept me grounded on countless occasions.

As I grew older and gained more agency in my own life, Dr. Covey’s book stayed with me, becoming dog-eared and worn with use. From it, I learned the skills I needed to leave home, get a college education in the United States, and build a successful and fulfilling life doing work that I enjoy immensely. I took the book with me when I relocated to South Florida, as well as when I traveled to Bolivia to teach in Santa Cruz de la Sierra. I consulted it when I wrote my first books. Today, I still refer to The 7 Habits when planning any new goals.

I am only one

Reviews for The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

[Kevin Engle · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

First read this in my Psych rotation in Nursing school in 1995 and have read it numerous times since. Covey added so many clear illustrations and support for his work. However, every habit is based on Biblical truth.
