The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Seven habits arranged from dependence to interdependence
Free Press first published Stephen R. Covey's book in 1989. It presents seven habits in three stages of the Maturity Continuum: dependence, independence and interdependence. Habits 1 to 3 cover independence, Habits 4 to 6 cover interdependence, and Habit 7, sharpen the saw, concerns continual improvement. The book also covers the paradigm shift concept, the character ethic versus the personality ethic, and an Upward Spiral model of learning, committing and doing.
