The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Personal Workbook by Stephen R. Covey

informative reflective

3.0

The worst 3-star book I've ever read. It's good enough I took away some important concepts and practices from it. It's bad enough I skimmed over some of it and wanted it to end quickly.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 36%.

I can't believe I got through 150 pages. I can feel the latter pages of this book has good advice, but I'm not going to read any more.

Definitely underrated. Might not be everyone's cup of tea. I felt anxious throughout the whole book (something I don't usually like), but I loved every part of Sin Eater.
