Marrianne Williamson's work is both real and honest. Rather than couch things in a concepts that are alien or extremely religious, she talks to you about the realities of existing. Of how things will not always be easy, about how you will lose your way, and honestly how to see people clearly. Growth is messy, it's not neat, maturity is not easy, nor is spirtiuality delicate work, but with assistance from a tape like this you can see yourself clearly and how to bridge yourself from concept to human to spiritual being.

This was my first Anthony Robbins cassette, and I really enjoyed it. I am looking foward to all his others. A lot of 'get rich, be smart, etc' motivators lack belivablity and energy. Tony certainly doesn't. Great for mom's who need a little encouragement. Great for everyone. And the interview with Covey is just excellent!

Tony describes how to anticipate success in all areas of your life. Learn successful strategies about the 7 habits from Steven Covey.

One may imagine learning something new in a whole new way about the Power of Anticipation, now.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ways to start anticipating more success with this tape!

This is a great little book I recommend it to anyone. No matter if your a CEO or a burger flipper you will find it useful reading for ones self. I'm a 25 years old going on 12, over paid, spoiled web designer that chooses not to spend to much time in today's many stream "reality" world of thinking. I love this book it full of stuff written and spoken by people past and present that have be there done that, and figured out. Buy it! read it again and again and remember "Don't take life to seriously no one get out alive anyway"

I originally bought this book for my father for Christmas, but after previewing it, I fell in love with it. Unlike many quote books I have surveyed, each quote provokes contemplation. Though small in size, I found its enlightened ideas much more valuable than other larger quote books filled with idle chatter. This is a great addition to any personal development library.

A fun little book of quotes, questions, stories, and illustrations. Inspires you to renew yourself.

I have always been a fan of the 7 Habits, and this is a wonderful way to share its principles in a lighter format.

This book has wonderful, inspiring advice and is fun to read and share with others. I can't wait for the whole series to be available!

This book provides clear, simple and realistic sugestions to building a strong family. It is easy to read and entertaining. It has helped me and my family termendously!

If you liked this book, also try "The Healing Journey" or "The Healing Journey for Couples", both by Phil Rich. These are journaling books written to help people learn how to journal and what to journal about.

I would recomend this book for anybody that would like to make alot money

This book has been such a breath of fresh air. As a dual-income parent, connecting with your kids and finding time becomes so difficult. Loving Reminders make it easy to say - "you're a great kid", or "I love you". You just tear out the message and leave it in a fun spot for your child to find. It's the best $10 you'll ever spend on your kids.

I'm a grandfather with six adult children and three grandchildren. Our family life had been very difficult. I had run across Stephen Covey's books and seminars in the business world, but I never connected the principles he teaches with my family life.

Since reading this book, I've found the wisdom and courage to reach out again to my wife and children. I cannot tell you how scary, exciting, and wonderful it is to be part of a real live family. I'm working on contributing within my other families, too - my in-laws, brothers and sisters, and neighbors, too. I have been buying copies and handing them out to anyone who mentions their family, whether in a good or bad light.

This is an excellent guide to anyone who wants to be part of a real family. It doesn't matter whether you are Mom, Dad, Grandparents, or even an adult child. This wonderful book will help find the skills and courage to make your family first in your life and a refuge for all its members against the trials of modern life.

In introducing "7 Habits for Highly Effective Families," Covey writes that societal forces have changed, and that we can no longer rely on a family-friendly society to help us with our families. That approach, which he termed the "outside-in" approach was useful in the middle of the 20th century. But at the turn of the century, when societal forces are combining to undermine the family, Covey argues that we need an "inside-out" approach, where we take greater care as parents to create a family culture that encourages goodness, morality and love.

With that premise in mind, Covey applies the 7 Habits to family life. I'm not familiar with the 7 Habits as they are applied to individuals, but as I've tried to apply them in my family I've been impressed by the results. As a husband and father, I feel as if I now have a set of tools to build and strengthen my family, and an understanding of how to use them.

This book takes the concepts outlined in "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" to a much more accessible level.

While the original "7 Habits" were lauded for their content, at times they were criticized for the generally business oriented approach chosen.

"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families" renders these principles much more accessible and provides easy to follow advice that can be applied in day to day life.

Subsequently, by applying the principles presented in "The 7 Habits", they will become just that - Habits! As habits they are exercised/applied without thinking about them anymore, therefore eliminating the need to constantly focus on them.

The experience is somewhat similar to learning to drive a car. Initially a lot of attention to operating the car is required, because it is such an unfamiliar process. After a while, however, driving the car becomes a matter of habit, mostly executed on a sub-conscious level, while the attention can be focused almost solely on the traffic and environment.

For anyone not familiar with either one of the "7 Habits" books, I recommend to start out with this one, and then - if necessary, or desired - to read "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" at a later point of time for the primary purpose of its more business oriented approach.

In order to be able to focus on business, it is worthwhile to already have ones house in order; therefore the family should come first - including the family's "7 Habits".

For a multi-sensory approach, I suggest to also listen to the corresponding book on CD. This will trigger different areas of the brain and therefore lead to a faster learning curve.

Reading by its very approach has to happen on the conscious level, while listening can happen in situation where the primary focus is on something else, i.e. stop-and-go traffic. Dr. Covey's soothing voice in such scenarios will manage to engage the listener on a subconscious level, driving the message home even more effectively.

This book was one that I just couldn't resist picking up. Not too often do you come across a unique business book.

The pictures and lessons are excellent. This is a book I find myself turning to when I need some inspiration or just a kick in the pants.

If you're in business and a nature lover, it's a no-brainer.

The title of the book may be problematic without knowing the content. For those who love books of nature are likely to miss this one and for those who are serious readers on leadership may be disappointed. Perhaps a subtitle, something like "thoughts of life through nature" to go along with the main one is needed. Anyway, I love it.

as a ardent covey follower for years I must say this is a must expierence for all! dont just read this book meditate about it, you will find great peace and principles that will be effective in the home or workplace.
