Therefore, each of the 7 habits in the book is based on Principles of Effectiveness that are timeless, universal and in operation whether we accept/understand them or not, on Paradigms that are aligned with principles and are the way we see, understand and interpret the world : Our Mental Map, and on Practices that produce effective results: how we carry out our paradigms. But if you want to make significant, quantum breakthroughs, work on your PARADIGMS” Stephen R. What we do depends on how we see the world around us, therefore if you want to change your habits begin by changing your paradigms: “If you want to make minor changes in your life, work on your behavior. The results we get in our lives depend on what we do. In order to change a given situation, we must change ourselves, and in order to change ourselves, we must be able to change our perceptions.
In Covey's belief, the way we see the world is entirely based on our own perceptions. The book is a well-known in business and self-help, it has touched millions of people's lives, so why should this one be any different?Ī large number of books in self-improvement have been focused on "The personality Ethic", things like public image, how you dress, how you perform in social interactions, positive mental attitude.They focus on how to appear rather than how to actually be!!! "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" takes an inside-out approach it focuses on "The Character Ethic" rather than the personality ethic.
As I am getting nearer to the end of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" a book by Stephen Covey, I want to share with you a summary of the main concept.
