Liong's Reviews > The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

I want to recommend this self-help book to my friends because I am actively practicing the habits, and they are guiding me toward a better life.

Instead of quick-fix solutions, Stephen Covey emphasizes sustainable, long-term growth, encouraging you to work from the inside out.

1. Be Proactive: Take responsibility for your actions and focus on what you can control.

2. Begin with the End in Mind: Define clear goals and outcomes before starting any task.

3. Put First Things First: Prioritize important tasks over urgent but less meaningful ones.

4. Think Win-Win: Aim for mutually beneficial solutions in your interactions and relationships.

5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: Listen empathically before expressing your views.

6. Synergize: Collaborate effectively by leveraging others' strengths for better results.

7. Sharpen the Saw: Continuously renew yourself physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I am reviewing this book to help me remember its key lessons and refer to them from time to time.
