Ótima leitura recomendo a todos que queiram quebrar paradigmas.

Sem dúvida um livro muito interessante com várias ideias a considerar e reflectir. Reparei que tenho cá em casa o livro que é um género de continuação de este, ou pelo menos, uma nova perspectiva deste livro - o 8º hábito. Terei de o ler em breve também.

Quando eu digo às outras pessoas que sou uma papa-livros é porque tenho razões para o fazer. É que eu leio mesmo de tudo, não sou nada esquisita. Tenho preferências, mas se um livro me aparecer à frente completamente por acaso e este me

Covey estava certo quando disse que não foi ele quem criou os sete hábitos. De fato, o livro apenas organiza princípios fundamentais de motivação e organização pessoais e de relacionamentos.

Meu interesse por este livro não surgiu porque o vi em uma lista de best-sellers, mas porque ele apareceu em três ou quatro listas individuais de livros altamente recomendados. Honestamente, penso que enquanto os "sete hábitos" realmente são válidos, talvez alguém que esteja interessado possa ler primeiro um

Considerado um livro de administração e para alguns uma obra de autoajuda. Ops! Autoajuda! É um best seller com mais de 15 milhões de cópias vendidas, traduzido para mais de 38 idiomas, com primeira publicação em 1989.

O livro apresenta sete princípios da Ética do Caráter, considerada pelo autor

Não poderia haver algo que preciso notar de um modo mais profundo, mais fundamental? Um paradigma, dentro de mim, que afete o modo como vejo o tempo, a vida e minha própria natureza?

Tipo de livro que abre a mente para uma mudança de mindset. Um guia comportamental.
Excelente leitura!

Livro pobre e enfadonho. Não se propõe a ajudar o leitor a entender quais os 7 hábitos das pessoas eficazes. O livro não é eficaz. O livro é péssimo. Não recomendo.

O livro “Os 7 Hábitos das Pessoas Altamente Eficazes” representa um novo pensamento e uma interiorização de bons princípios baseados no carácter. Percorrendo o caminho proposto pelo autor é possível melhorar a relação com o “Eu” para em seguida conseguir obter maior eficácia na relação com os outros.

Adorei. Para sermos seres humanos mais eficazes devemos comandar o nosso interior e cooperar com o nosso exterior. Covey apresenta um guia cheio de exemplos para que possamos incrementar a nossa efectividade geral.
Para ler e reler.
