Winning is a habit. So is losing. So is Stephen Covey's obsession with the habits of people who are personally and professionally successful. Twenty-five years of experience, thought and research have convinced him that seven habits distinguish the happy, healthy, successful from those who fail or who must sacrifice meaning and happiness for success in the narrow sense.

More than a simple how-to, this book is a marvellous saga of one man's search for the essence of a life worth living. It is filled with practical wisdom for people who want to take control of their lives, their businesses and their careers. For the manager, the parent, or the employee, these seven habits are the foundation of successful relationships and achievement.
