I am reading the 8th Habit by Stephen R. Covey. I have less that 80 pages until I have finished reading it. I have read a lot of his other books. I love the 7 Habits book, and have tried to incorporate some of it into my life and business. The 8th Habit is really more about being a leader, but the sections that I have been devouring have been where he talks about listening, and communicating. I believe that if I can learn to use some of what he is teaching, I will work so much better with sellers and buyers, and be more successful in my business.

I really do recommend most of Covey's books to those that are looking to improve their lives and businesses. I still try to manage my time based on the principles in the 7 Habits book. Great reads both of them along with the Principled Centered Leadership and First Things First. Have a great read and week end!

Tony and Darcy, What are the rest of the habits? I'm like Kathy in a way. The only habits I have are bad! Really, what are the habits??? Thanks for the enlightenment.

Thanks for commenting, the 8th Habit is a sequel to the book also by Stephen R. Covey entitled The Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People. I recommend both books!

Hi Tony & Darcy - I read the 7 Habits years ago and thought it was a great book. I had no idea that there was a sequel available. Looking forward to a great read.

Hi guys, I am always in the market for a new book, and this sounds like a really good one. Be sure to let us know of any other good ones you come across.
