THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE

THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE by Stephen R. Covey

This book also one of the must read books.

For me this is one of the toughest book to read from beginning to end. This books requires your quality time, your own analysis and discussion with friends etc.  It demands all things from us.  But the result is a fruitful one.  It changes our perception with which we see this world daily.  It changes our thinking. It adds new things to our views/understanding and whatsoever you call. 

One simple concept which we know daily but hardly think of:

• DEPENDENT - Initially as a human being, when we are born, we are 100% dependent on   others even for our very basic activities.
• INDEPENDENT - As we grow year by year, we keep developing our independence, slowly and steadily and at one point of time, we believe that we are almost 100% Independent
• INTER-DEPENDENT - Although we are independent, we need to understand that this world functions as inter dependent unit.  We are all dependent on each other including humans, trees, insects etc.

Like this there are so many concepts presented with good clarity and triggers questions in our mind. This book makes us to think. 

As A Man Thinketh

"As a man thinketh" by James Allen

(Note: This book is applicable to all human beings Man/Women/Transgender)

This is one of the best book, I have ever read. I love this book so much.  Its a very small book which we can finish reading in couple of hours.  But the teachings are for our life time. I keep reading this book as I am still struggling to follow the things which is mentioned in this book. I wish I internalize the concepts so that i don't need this book one day. 

I really suggest to buy this book and have your own hard copy of this book.  It's really such a simple and wonderful book.
