When the opening tag line of a post is “Don’t have time to read Steven Covey’s book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People? Take a look at our summary articles written by Michael Gray.” I was pretty much compelled to take a look at it, more so because I actually own the book, it’s here right now on my desk, all but untouched.
You can have a look yourself at http://www.profitadvisors.com/7habitlist.shtml.
The summaries make for good reading, and though they are pretty lightweight they do give a healthy insight as to what is held within the book, and for me at least has reawakened my interest in picking up the book and actually making the time to read it fully.

Hey you.. lightweight is the accurate word to describe it. I didn’t really think it was that comprehensive, but as summaries go, it’s not half bad. Btw.. if you’re not opposed to such things, you can actually download the audiobook via torrent. I learn best by listening and so far it’s done wonders for my outlook in life, plus it’s a good way of killing time during my commute to/from work. Hope it’s benefiting you as well. Cheers!

Hey Nina ;o)
I have been thinking about getting the audio books, for exactly the same reasons, listening to on the way to and from work. I’ve got some new time to listen to music while at the gym, so mixing in some more professional listening might work.
I think once I’ve had a bit more exposure to the book, I’ll give this summary another look, and see how well it seems to fit then.
