Summary 
Using a balance of theory and practical examples, Stephen R. Covey's incredibly successful book offers a pathway to wisdom and power.

Covey's guide (for both personal and professional life) describes seven principles of life management. It offers a revolutionary program for breaking the patterns of self-defeating behavior that keep us from achieving our goals and reaching our fullest potential. It describes how to replace the old patterns with a principle-focused approach to problem-solving.

The book presents a holistic, integrated, principle-centered approach for solving personal and professional problems. With penetrating insights and pointed anecdotes, Covey reveals a step-by-step pathway for living with fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity—principles that give us the security to adapt to change and the wisdom and power to take advantage of the opportunities that change creates.
