The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change [Import] [ペーパーバック]

   本書は1990年に初版が出版されたときにセンセーションを巻き起こしており、以来1,000万部以上を売り上げ、ビジネス書として今でもベストセラーを続けている。著者のスティーブン・コヴィーは、国際的に高い評価を受けるリーダーシップ研究の第一人者。真に成功を果たすには個人としての有効性と職業としての有効性をバランス良く備えることが重要だと認識しており、それを反映して本書は、この2つの領域でより効果的に行動するための手引書となっている。ここで引用される具体例では、ビジネス上の課題を題材にしたものと同じくらい家庭内における状況を数多く取り上げている。
   7つの習慣を身につける前に、コヴィーが「パラダイムシフト」と呼ぶところの、世の中の仕組みに対する認識と解釈の転換をまず実現する必要がある。著者はこの転換の実現を支援し、生産性、時間管理、前向きな思考、「予防的に働く筋肉」（何かに反応するのではなく自発的に行動すること）の開発など、他にも多くのことに関する認識と行動に影響を与えている。
   本書は明日からでも実践できることを謳い文句にしたヒント集ではない。そのコンセプトは時に複雑であるため、流し読むのではなく、じっくりと腰を据えてここから学び取りたいと感じる筈である。読み終えたときには、どの章にも付箋や手書きの注釈が数多く残され、コヴィーの集中セミナーに参加したような充実感に満たされることだろう。（Joan Price, Amazon.com） --このテキストは、絶版本またはこのタイトルには設定されていない版型に関連付けられています。

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges.

Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more.

This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you'll probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you'll feel like you've taken a powerful seminar by Covey. --Joan Price
