Features & Highlights

  • Note: This is a miniature version, please review the third image for product size. Based on his father's bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens, using a vivacious, entertaining style. To keep it fun, Covey writes, he "stuffed it full of cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world... along with a few other surprises." Did he ever! Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed, and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms, building equity in "relationship bank accounts," creating action plans, and much more. As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad's theories, Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw. He includes a comical section titled "The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens," which includes some, shall we say, counterproductive practices: put first things last; don't cooperate; seek first to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out... Covey's humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers, and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference.

I had ordered this book, not realizing it was a miniature version. This version was not useful to us and I ended up purchasing the full version at a local book store. I will be sending this one back for refund.

This is a mini book, good quality, but the words are too small to read. My daughter bought the wrong type (she actually wanted a regular size book).

Believe them when they say it is tiny. It is TINY.

Condensed version of the book. Print is really small...even for teen eyes to enjoy reading. It can also be lost very easily.

A great book for adults or teens

I discovered this book by accident. I found the 365 days version with excerpts and jokingly said to my Mum that I should get it. She was serious that I should and bought it for me. I was intrigued...

That quite possibly changed by life (not dramatically mind you but kept me on the right track). It took me ages to find the full version, but I bought (it wasn't cheap!) and read it straight away (and was a bit rude considering I was staying at someones house as a guest and hid in my room for hours reading!).

It was the first "self help" book I have read and I'd say the best. It is SO easy to read and has lots of pictures and things so it's not just pages and pages of writing.

I have read this book many times and even though I haven't read it for a year or so I can still remember half of the 7 habits and some of my Personal Mission Statement I wrote.
But anyway, the book is great, easy to read and the stuff makes sense, really quickly - you don't have to sit and think about it for ages, you get it straight away - and you WILL remember it.
I haven't even bothered reading his father's book - I've seen it in stores and been put off by the pages full of writing.

Give this book a go - even if it is the only "self Help" book you EVER read it won't disappoint you (I have found others just don't match up).
Give it to your kids, grandkids, nieces and nephews or even your adult relatives and friends. Apart from the references to school aduts can still get a lot out of it!

ENJOY!

7 Habits Miniature

The message is good, but I was disappointed with this book.

This is a much abbreviated version of Sean Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" which is a remake of Steven Covey's original "7 Habits of Highly Effective People."

The 7 Habits books have a great message, and I was hoping to use the 7 Habits in a summer leadership program for a 10th grade football team. I hoped that these miniature books could be handed out as our "text" but I could not use it that way. It is not organized with clear chapters that identify each habit by number.

This book would be OK as a memory refresher, but otherwise I recommend the original book for the whole message.

I was not expecting this to be 2 inch by 2 inch. Very small to read. I should have read the description more clearly.

Didn't realize it was 2x2 inches!

Great book, but it doesn't work well if you're using it with the workbook (the pages don't line up). I got this for my students for the summer. Great content, and it's easy to read. But it's small as all get out.
