- AndrewKemendo 13y agoThanks. The second link is thorough yet also very concise.
- kabouseng 13y agoThanks. I prefer the first one. The second one I did manage to google, along with some others, but they are too verbose.
- cliveowen 13y agoSame old self-help bullshit.
- islon 13y agoReads like a self-help book...
- normloman 13y agoNo shit? Effective people are proactive? And they seek win-win scenarios? Tell me something I don't know.
- mfrankel 13y agoWe did a 3 minute intro video on this. Take a look. http://www.brevedy.com/7-habits-3-minutes-video/ http://www.brevedy.com/7-habits-3-minutes-video/ Covey's stuff is pretty solid and researched based. You really have to read the book. It's worth it.
- ankitoberoi 13y agoPersonally, I think HN is not the perfect place for self-help. Also, I don't believe that any specific habits can you make you successful. A lot of people became successful purely by probability.
- theorique 13y agoAlso, I don't believe that any specific habits can you make you successful. Person "A": spends 105% of his income Person "B": spends 85% of his income Which habit do you think will lead to greater success?
- ankitoberoi 13y agoSpending more than what you earn is not a habit, it's a disorder. What I'm trying to say is that it does not work like that. If I were to follow all that is said in such book/articles, will I automatically become rich or successful?
- theorique 13y agoSpending more than what you earn, as a repeated pattern of behavior, is definitely a habit. Most people would agree that it's a bad one. If you're waiting for some advice or recipe to make you "automatically" rich or successful, you'll be waiting a long time. Nobody can guarantee that. We can probably agree that there is a spectrum of habits that range from "good" to "bad". Practicing good habits doesn't create automatic success, just like practicing bad habits doesn't make success impossible, but there are statistical trends.
- steverb 13y agoActually, the study guide is pretty much the right length for the book. They are all useful points, but the book itself beats the horse until it is very thoroughly dead.
