 SUMMERY
Summery:
We all want to succeed. One path to success is identifying the habits that can help us on our journey.
In earlier times, the foundation of success rested upon Character Ethic (things like
integrity, humility, fidelity, temperance, courage, justice, patience, industry, simplicity,
modesty, and the Golden Rule). But starting around the 1920s, the way people viewed
success shifted to what Covey calls Personality Ethic (where success is a function of
personality, public image, attitudes and behaviors).

 CRITIQUE

This is, hands down, one of the best and most powerful books I've
ever read in my life. I have recommended it to countless people. The
fact that you're seeking it out says volumes about your level of self-
awareness as it is and this book builds on that. Very seldom do books
really make me get involved when I read them.
