For more than two decades, this modern time management classic by Stephen Covey has already touched millions of lives by providing practical tips on managing their time and resources. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has reached the "phenomenal" level with a long list of achievements, one of which is being named by Time Magazine as one of the twenty-five most influential books of all time in the field of business management in the year 2011.

Simply put, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is divided into three different sections: self-mastery, dealing with other people, and renewal of oneself. All in all, the book consists of seven major chapters, with titles that became so popular; Stephen Covey has to register a trademark for each chapter title under his name.

The section on self-mastery revolves around three concepts: being practical and positive (Chapter 1: Be Proactive), having clear goals (Chapter 2: Begin with an End in Mind), and having a sense of priority (Chapter 3: First Things First). This section of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People actually presents a lot of challenges to the individual that will result to being an effective person, not just in the context of work, but also in dealing with other people and handling personal concerns. It also helps one appreciate the true value of his/her time.

The subsequent section of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People places its focus on how to work with other people. Made up of three chapters, this particular section addresses specific and real concerns on: beneficial agreements or conflict resolution (Chapter 4: Think Win-Win), the lost skill of listening with sincerity (Chapter 5: Seek First to Understand, Then Be Understood), the true value of teamwork and cooperation (Chapter 6: Synergize). Mastery of the second section will make an individual an effective team player who promotes a positive outlook when it comes to work, among other things.

The last section and chapter of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People entitled Sharpening the Saw gives helpful tips on how not to grow tired of being effective. Mastery of the skills of a highly effective person requires a lot of patience and discipline and this, among many other things are shared by this particular section.

What makes this self-help book different is its style of conveying its message to its readers. It does not sound preachy or prescriptive in any way. Actually, it has fun ways of imparting the important techniques to its audience. It can be considered as a work book for adults because of its light approach in developing one's character in promoting personal growth.

Despite the fact that this book has kept its magic despite the fact that it has been in the shelf for quite sometime now is its undying significance and relevance. It is anchored on real situations and many people found genuine help from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. It has been proven as the effective book for effective people. Proofs of its success are its sequels, First Things First and The 8th Habit.

Everything you need to know about success and wealth, you will find written here in this book review...

The World's Greatest Discovery

Do you know what is the most significant discovery of this modern age? My be you are thinking about the computer, wireless, airplane and electricity. According to this book, the world's greatest discovery is that any man can learn how to apply the Law of attraction to get anything he desires - health, happiness, riches or achievement of any goal. No matter if you believe in the Law of Attraction or not, this Law is continually working in your life.

According to the Law of Attraction, you attract the things and circumstances into your life on which you give most of your attention, whether these things are positive or negative. In other words, you always get what you think most of the time. You attract in your life people, situations and circumstances that are in perfect harmony with your thoughts. By examining carefully your thoughts and your current situation, you will surely find out that all your present circumstances are the result of your past thoughts.

The Life Principle

The whole purpose of our existence is GROWTH. If you are not learning or growing daily, it means you are dying. Life is always about moving forward. Life always wants you to achieve more and more. Egypt and Persia, Greece and Rome, all the great empires perished when they ceased to grow. If you are reading this article, it means you are one of those few people who are not ready to stand still, who want to grow and achieve more.

You should take up some violent form of exercise, running, tennis and swimming. In the beginning, your muscles are weak and they will tire soon. You will fail pain in your muscles but after some days as you keep practicing, you will become stronger and faster. Now you will understand the life principle that is working behind your every act. You should understand that there is a superman inside you. You should give him daily some tough tasks and in few days those tough tasks will become easier.

All successful people understood early in their life that the life principle is working in their life. This life principle makes no distinction between rich and poor. Anyone who will apply this principle will get reward. This principle is always ready to make you stronger and richer if you are willing to do all you can do. The greater your desire for riches and the more determined you are, the sooner you will achieve your goals.

Three Parts Of Your Mind

Now that you have understood that there is huge potential lying inside you, you must learn how to discover your unlimited power, the power to be what you want to be, to get what you desire and to achieve all your goals. Professor Wm. James, the world-famous Harvard psychologist, estimated that average man uses only 10% of his mental power.

Most people do not know that mind can be divided in three part - 1) Conscious mind, 2) Subconscious mind and 3) Universal Mind.

1) Conscious Mind

When you say, "I see-I hear-I smell-I touch" it is your conscious mind that is saying this. This part of your mind is the smallest part of your mind (about 10%). 90% of your mind is subconscious. Most people know nothing about the subconscious mind and its capacity. They try to live their life by using only 10% of their mind.

2) Subconscious Mind

Can you tell me how much water, how much salt and how much other elements should be in your body to live an ordinary life. No? Do not worry, your subconscious mind knows it all. It has almost unlimited power not only for keeping you in perfect health but also for attracting all the good things you think most of the time. The subconscious mind does not decide and command. Its nature is to do what it is told. If you are able to tell it what you want, it will do all to bring your desired things in your life.

You can reach to your subconscious mind by thinking most of the time about the things you want. To learn something new you need subconscious mind, for example when you learn piano, you need to practice enough hours to learn it. You need to repeat again and again until your subconscious mind accept it. Then once your subconscious mind understand that you want it to learn, you will no longer need to give all your attention while playing piano. You just need to learn to handle the task over to the superman inside. It is the same while you learn driving a car, at first you need to give all your attention on the road and brakes and steering and on all the other things. But after driving enough hours, you no longer need to give all your attention, you can talk with the person sitting with you and you can listen music while driving.

3) Universal Mind

To reach your subconscious mind, you need help of your conscious mind and to reach to the universal mind, you need the help of your subconscious mind. Have you ever wondered how this whole world is working and growing? Population of the world growing daily, many species of animals are disappearing and many new animals are taking birth daily. How trees are able to convert carbon dioxide gas into oxygen? There is the Universal Mind that is creating all these things. You may give it any name - God, Allah, spirit or any other name. This universal mind is working in every form of plant, in animal and also in human beings. This universal mind is in you and within everyone.

The easiest way to reach this universal mind is by prayer. When you pray, you form a mental image of the things you desire and you hold it strongly in your thoughts. You repeat this process many times until it reaches to The Universal Mind. The Universal Mind is all around you as the air you breathe. It offers everything to everyone without any partiality. The only limits are of your own mind. You will receive whatever you think most of the time. Very few people know about this secret and they take full advantage of the power of the Universal Mind.

You Are Creating Your Life

Every condition, every experience of the your life is the result of your own mental attitude. Believe it or not you are the creator of your life. The universal mind that has created this whole world is also working inside you. Everything is first an idea in the mind of someone. You can not create anything without first thinking about that. The secret of all riches, happiness and success is in first thinking powerful thoughts of riches, happiness and success.

You can think only two types of thoughts - 1) Positive thoughts, 2) Negative thoughts. You can create a beautiful and successful life by thinking positive thoughts most of the time or you can make your life a hell by thinking negative thoughts most of time. Choice is yours. Just as the most powerful forces in nature are invisible - heat, light, air, electricity - so the most powerful forces of human mind are invisible- his thoughts. The power for happiness, for good, for everything we need of life is within each of us.

To create a beautiful life, you must realize that you have complete control over just one thing in your life that is your conscious mind. During your waking hours, you must visualize and think positively. Everything you are saying, watching and listening, you are adding to the content of your subconscious mind. Your life will be richer or poorer for the thoughts and deeds of your daily life.

So How Can You Get More Money?

First of all, you must understand what is money? Money is a mere idea of your mind. For many thousand years Gold and silver have been used as the money. But you would be surprised to know that all the paper money is supposed to represent so much gold or silver currency. There are billions upon billions of this paper money in circulation, yet all the gold in the world amounts to only about $8 billion. Wealth is in ideas not in money and the good news is that you can control those money making ides through your mind. You can read good books and listen good programs that can provide you money making ideas. When you will start to look upon money from this prospective, you will have all the money you want.

Final Thoughts On This Book

Some key points worth repeating are - You have a mind. You can originate thoughts. Your thoughts are creating your life. You can think both types of thoughts, positive or negative thoughts. Positive thoughts will bring happiness and prosperity in your life while your negative thoughts will lead you to failure. You are born to grow and win. Most people have no knowledge of their thought power which is responsible for all the circumstances of their life. Consider the difference between people who know how to use the unlimited power of Subconscious and Universal Mind and those who have no knowledge.

You do not need to pass your life in hope of winning a lottery some day. You must take small actions daily. You must try to discover your inner power. You should learn to control your thoughts and image upon your mind only those things that you want to see realized. Your present circumstances are the result of your thoughts of your past. If you want to make your future richer and brighter then I encourage you to buy and read this book.
