Living the 7 habits, Stories of Courage and Inspiration, Stephen R. Covey

This book is a collection of real stories capturing amazing transformations in people’s life.  Each one of it was very inspiring. Mostly I read a story a day and kept remainder of the day to contemplate it before moving to the next one.

There are around 76 stories, categorized under Individual, Family, Community and Education, and Workplace. Chapters covered in Individual and Families were more touching since I could sense the real pain of those individuals experienced it. And those are the stories of people’s self belief and perseverance to adhere to their principles. Stories covered in the Workplace were also great. In today’s world of deceit, manipulation and personal charisma, to find there are successful people who used universal principles to transform the company and lead a value based life is simply amazing and unbelievable and more than that it gives lot of hope to people who wanted to lead a balanced, quality life.

Overall its a good read.
