The following post is taken directly from my hand-printed Reader's Journal. I will be sharing these reflections each week on the Rivera Runs Through It blog. The date at the end of each post is the date of the original writing, which is typically the date I completed the book. The reflections are short, but represent my initial reactions to a book, a brief summary of the book or the questions it raised for me at the time. I hope you enjoy this segment in my blog and feel free to comment on what you read here.
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens by Sean CoveyThis book was written by the son of the author of 7 Habits for High Effective People (which I have not read). This is a fantastic book for any teen (or anyone else for that matter) who is a little lost in the game of life. The 7 Habits are:
- Be Proactive
- Begin With The End in Mind
- Put First Things First
- Think Win-Win
- Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
- Synergize
- Sharpen the Saw

I believe this is the first self-help book I ever read, which is one reason I found it so enlightening.
Do you remember the first self-help book you ever read? Are there lessons from that book that still resonate with you now?
