About this ebook
Why do we need this new habit? Because we have entered a new era in human history. The world is a profoundly different place than when THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE was originally published in 1989. The challenges and complexity we face today are of a different order of magnitude. We enjoy far greater autonomy in all areas of our lives, and along with this freedom comes the expectation that we will manage ourselves, instead of being managed by others. At the same time, we struggle to feel engaged, fulfilled and passionate. Tapping into the higher reaches of human genius and motivation to find our voice requires a new mindset, a new skill-set, a new tool-set - in short, a whole new habit.

Reviews for The 8th Habit
19 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I like everything in this book and always find Covey inspiring, genuine, and profound. Still, the 8th habit doesn't work for me quite like the original 7. I think it's because there is so much more behind it. Covey builds a lot of context around the habit: Find your voice, then inspire others to find their voice." He reveals a whole methodology for doing this, based on a quartet of concepts: Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit. These areas have analogous ideas in the area of leadership, namely, Modeling, Pathfinding, Aligning, and Empowering.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5really make your mind grow!
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Never managed to finish this, I think it might be self published, no publisher could ever get through it to decide it was worth publishing. A typical management speak book, some gems and insights but filled with so much other unneccesary gumpf. Give it a miss and read Dickens instead!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good book but not great, repetitive and much larger than needed. Not as important as the 7 habits although it works to take those lessons to others.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This audiobook seemed like it wasn't really meant for the audiobook format.Too much of it involved lists and logical sequences that don't translate (for me at least) into the spoken word.Too borrow a term I learned from "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", it was very Aristotlean.
