The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

7 Habits is one of those books you hear about from people from all industries and all ages. I'm always skeptical of books that fit that description as I find it very rare that people agree on things.

This book was so thought-provoking and inspiring for me. I'm currently taking a look at my life, health, and career as I get older. And this book came into my view at the perfect time.

Covey offers actionable, clear advice on how to be a better leader, but also a better person. His examples are from different viewpoints, including different ones than his (he admits he's very religious towards the end and how he approached writing the book with that in mind). However, I don't think one should discount it just because of the religious lens. I'm not a religious person and I find all of the habits to be actionable for me.

I'd recommend this to anyone who is confused in a job or career, as a new manager, or just looking to improve their life.
