The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R. Covey, Jim Collins

3.0

The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People's rate of guiding three stars displays my high recommendation of the book. This should be read by every self-help readers simply because the ideas and concepts within are still relevant, self-improvement will always remain timeless. My low recommendation is for all the non-readers as you might find the writing style unlikely especially if your only aim is to reflect and apply new habits.

The strengths of the book are its exemplary determination of valuable ways and habits, helping people to improve their way of living so that a more effective mindset and lifestyle can be achieved - making the totality of the book relevant and timeless, and its excellent interblend of personal experiences and researches in support of the habits. There are two weaknesses I found: complex writing style and repetitiveness, making the reading experience exhausting instead of reflective.
