Turned my life around...
I got this book as a present three years ago, during junior year of high school. My life back then was pretty dull; I had few friends and no interests other than being an internet junkie. I quickly embraced the concepts provided in it. Today I have completely changed, due in large part to applying these seven habits. I'm a happier, stronger, more dynamic, compassionate person. I cannot stress how inspiring this book is. Buy it, and I hope it does as much for you as it has for me.

Highly Recommended
I keep having to buy copies of this book because I give them away to people I want to share the book with.I found this book (at the age of 40-something) a little more reader friendly than Stephen Covey's book. I tell the teens I work with that Covey, Sr's book is a little more executive oriented and I had trouble connecting with it. This is easier to connect with and I don't find it preachy because Sean Covey so often tells stories on himself.
It's easy to peruse over and over again and to integrate little by little into your life. At least when my time management fails, I can name what I could have done better (put the big rocks in first). When I've spent the day dithering time away at some no-where project, I know I'm spending too much time in Q4. Little by little, it helps improve your life.
I guess I want to comment on the reviewer who thought Sean was trying to encourage reader to always be thinking of something nice to say (ie always kissing up to people). I don't feel Sean was trying to tell you not to be yourself, but well-placed, positive comments can sew wonderful seeds of cooperation and friendship. Externalize your positive thoughts by sharing them with people; it makes a difference.
Great book for teens, young adults and adults.
