Habits of Highly Effective People

What Are the Habits of Successful People?

De: Lela Gibson

Narrado por: Amy Barron Smolinski

Use this guide to learn how to build habits to become effective!

Judging from your interest in the title of this audiobook, it is right to assume that as an individual, you are someone interested in forming habits that help you achieve great success in whatever undertaking: financial success, weight loss success, relationship success, productivity, etc. This assumption draws upon the notion that to achieve immense success in your life, you have to be, undoubtedly, effective. Unfortunately, if you are like most people, which rightly, you are, unless you have a strand of super alien DNA that allows you to ninja your way through habit formation, in which case, you should patent yourself and sell you DNA to the masses, you are amongst the many who struggle with the process of creating lasting habits. Like most, even though you start practicing things/habits that promise to bring you success, after practicing these things for a few days, your desire to practice them reduces and you resort to bad habits that deny you success.

Even more unfortunate is the fact that most audiobooks on habits change subject, rally on and on, about how to live an effective, and as such, a successful life, you should adopt so and so habit, but rarely do they guide you through the process of habit change, or show you how to make these success habits stick.

If there is one thing we know about habits, it is this: adopting a habit is, at first, easy. However, turning something you do one day into something you do every day, the very definition of a habit, is not easy. In this regard, this audiobook is different because:

1. It starts by outlining why habits are at the core of success, and why adopting the right habits will determine how effective and successful you are in life.

2. It takes you by the hand and guides you through the process of habit change; it teaches you how to get started on doing something one day, and keep doing it until it turns into a habit.

A start to a better life

A quick read. A good book to start your greater self awareness and journey.

wrong book. deceptive. I wanted the Covey book

I was recommended 7 habits of highly effective people. I got this by mistake. the title is so similar as to be deceptive. I guess it wasn't too bad for 2 dollars, but I dislike what I perceive to be an intentional deception. I wonder how many people only bought this because they thought they were getting a great deal on the more popular book with near identical title.
