Luminstruct Review:
This month we reviewed The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey and greatly enjoyed this book! Written in 1989, this book has stood the tests of time and still holds useful information today. Covey has since added an "8th habit" novel to discuss the changes in effectiveness in the modern world, however it builds off this original book. Including topics ranging from "learning how to centering your life", "looking at a situation from a different perspective" and "learning to be interdependent instead of independent/dependent of others", this book could be easily targeted toward all audiences. The content is simple to grasp and could hold life changing results if followed. Covey delivers this content in a fun way with clever antidotes, personal stories and real-life examples. It is very easy to get to know the author and you feel a sense of sadness once the book has concluded. With this being said, we would recommend multiple reads since the amount of content in this book is vast and it is very likely you will gain some new understanding after additional reads. There are parts of the book which discuss concepts of Christianity, however Covey makes sure to note that the topics are his own personal beliefs and welcomes the ideas of other paths. We would highly recommend this book and look forward to reading it again in the future.
