The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People: Restoring the Character Ethic by Stephen R. Covey (1990)

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey is a self-help book that outlines a framework for developing habits that can lead to success personally and professionally. The 7 habits are:

1. Be Proactive - Take initiative and responsibility for your life rather than blame others.

2. Begin with the End in Mind - Define your mission, values, and goals to guide your decisions.

3. Put First Things First - Prioritize and focus on important activities, not just urgent ones.

4. Think Win-Win - Look for solutions where everyone gains rather than competing.

5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood - Listen empathetically to others before asserting your own views.

6. Synergize - Value teamwork and collaboration to achieve better solutions.

7. Sharpen the Saw - Renew yourself regularly through exercise, relaxation, learning, etc.

The book argues developing these habits can help you become more effective in achieving goals personally and at work by taking responsibility, having integrity, and seeking mutual benefit.
