The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean Covey, was a fun, yet eye opening experience. I liked the book, but I also liked all that it had to teach me.
One of the chapters that I feel that I need to work on the most is "Sharpen the Saw". For those of you who haven't read the book, "sharpening the saw" means taking time out of your stressful day to unwind and renew yourself. This also means that people like me (tight schedule people) need to sometimes just take a time-out. One activity that really helps me relax is just sitting somewhere quiet and listening to music. It really gives me time to think and get away from the stresses of everyday life.
Habit 1 however, is the habit that I think I have completely mastered. This chapter is "Be Proactive". Ordinarily, I am an optimist. I like to think that something good can come out of almost anything. Unlike some people in this chapter who are reactive and blow up at every little thing, I like to say that if even the worst happens I won't let it ruin my day. This is one of my favorite qualities about myself (in my opinion).
I do recommend this book, but only to the people who are okay with changing themselves. This is a good book for people who love making themselves the best that they can be.
