7 highly effective habits for Teens


I gave this book as a Vishu gift to my Teen cousin.... he was excited receiving this.
Its written by Sean , son of Stephen R Covey - the author of "7 habits of highly effective people".
The contents are same, but the language is very simple, the book is a very easy readable one with lot of cartoons, inspirational quotes, exercies etc.
The only drawback i found is too much references to sex, drug addictions etc.
You make Habits, then Habits make you.....
This book can help you a lot in making habits that will help you lifetime.
It deals with the habits that can give you private victories:
(1) Be Proactive
(2) Begin with the End in Mind ( mission statement)
(3) Put First Things First
The ones that can give you public victories:
(4) Think Win-Win -
(5) Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
(6) Synergize
And the most important one - continous renewal
(7) Sharpen the Saw
Whatever said in the book is based on natural principles. It helps you in the same way a relegious scripture guides you.
I am sure, I have done a good thing by presenting this book instead of a shirt or few bucks!
