"Three Most Popular Books by Stephen R Covey"
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey's
best-knownbook, has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide
since its first
publication in 1989. The audio version became the first
non-fiction
audio-book in U.S. publishing history to sell more than one
million
copies. Covey argues against what he calls "The Personality
Ethic", something he sees as prevalent in many modern
self-help
books. He promotes what he labels "The Character Ethic":
aligning
ones values with so-called "universal and timeless"
principles.
Covey adamantly refuses to conflate principles and values;
he
sees principles as external natural laws, while values remain
internal and subjective.
Covey proclaims that values govern people's behavior, but
principles ultimately
determine the consequences. Covey presents his teachings in a
series of habits,
manifesting as a progression from dependence via independence to
interdependence.
The 8th Habit From Effectiveness to Greatness
Covey's 2004 book The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to
Greatness
was published by Free Press, an imprint of Simon and Schuster.
It is
the sequel to The Seven Habits. Covey posits that effectiveness
does
not suffice in what he calls "The Knowledge Worker Age". He says
that
"the challenges and complexity we face today are of a different
orderof magnitude." The 8th habit essentially urges: "Find your
voice and
inspire others to find theirs..."
The Leader in Me
Covey released The Leader in Me How Schools and Parents
Around the World Are Inspiring Greatness, One Child at a Time
in
November 2008. It tells how some schools, parents and
business
leaders are preparing the next generation to meet the
greatchallenges and opportunities of the 21st Century. It shows how
an
elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina, decided to try
incorporating The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and
other
basic leadership skills into the curriculum in unique and
creative
ways. Inspired by the success of Principal Muriel Summers and
the teachers and staff
of A.B. Combs Elementary School in Raleigh, other schools and
parents around the
world have adopted the approach and have seen remarkable
results.
