Or you could spend $21 at Amazon and save yourself 71-95 years. I've bought the book, and the advice is actually worth more than $21.
The best tools and information don't always cost money, but sometimes they do.

- stephengillie 14y agoOR, for free, at your local public library It's not free. It's a copy that you and others in your area had purchased for you, by your local library, with money collected through the tax mechanism.
- quadhome 14y agoMany public libraries are private in ownership and sponsorship. No taxes involved.
- king_jester 14y agoSuch a library is considered private, although such libraries may have public access. Public libraries are considered public by virtue of being publicly funded, partially or wholly, via taxes.
- theorique 14y agoRelative to the purchasing options, it's free insofar as the marginal cost is zero. Yes, technically someone - whether a donor or taxpayers - had to buy the book, construct the building, fund ongoing operations, and so on. But any of your tax money that you might have paid for this is a sunk cost - there's no additional user fee you pay in order to take out Seven Habits (or any other book).

- tomjen3 14y agoConsidering the list is of the habits are available elsewhere in the comments, what do I get from buying the book?
- jsmcgd 14y agoA quite convincing rationale for the 7 habits and many more bits of advice.
- davidw 14y agoDoes he consider contrary evidence or other habits that were considered and excluded?
- theorique 14y agoNot really. This isn't an exact science - it's just a list of practices that can help a person live a happier and more successful life. A lot of it corresponds to common sense, but the way he explains it drills into the 'why' in very clear language.
