The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a book written by Stephen R. Covey that provides a comprehensive framework for developing healthy habits to make individuals more prosperous and effective. The seven habits are grouped into three categories: Private victory (habits 1-3), Public victory (habits 4-6), and Renewal (habit 7) . Here are the seven habits:
- 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
The first three habits aim at developing from dependence to independence (i.e., self-mastery), the next three habits are intended to help achieve interdependence, and the seventh habit is intended to help maintain these achievements. Each of the seven habits has a section of the book devoted to it.
