The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Stephen Covey’s enduring classic organises personal and professional effectiveness around seven habits, from ‘be proactive’ and ‘begin with the end in mind’ to ‘sharpen the saw’. Rooted in character and principles rather than quick fixes, it moves from private wins (self-mastery) to public ones (working well with others). Decades on, its framework remains a foundational text for anyone trying to lead a more deliberate, principled life.
