Book Club: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey

Published: Sept. 8, 2017, 1:02 p.m.

In this book, Covey takes you by the hand and says\u2026

\u201cLook, if you want to live a good life, you can\u2019t be an irresponsible, self-absorbed, insolent, small-minded, unenlightened, judgmental, delusional little child.\u201d

\u201cYou might be able to bullshit your friends, family, and even yourself, but you can\u2019t bullshit the universe.\u201d

\u201cFor whatever reason, there are some basic rules to this game of living and if you work with them, you can win. Flout them and you\u2019ll lose.\u201d

He then lays out\u2026in way too many words\u2026his ideas about what makes people effective and ineffective in life, and I wholeheartedly agree with many of his assessments.

There\u2019s a reason why it\u2019s on just about every \u201cbooks you have to read list\u201d\u2013it\u2019s full of powerful insights that, if internalized, can truly change your life.

I have to warn you though: you\u2019re probably not going to like reading it, mainly because Covey isn\u2019t much of a writer. It\u2019s twice as long as it should be and a lot of the prose is purple, but it\u2019s well worth the slog.
