Book Your Flight- Book Review Series

Book Your Flight is the book review segment of the Reaching Your Career Dreams blog. This blog is designed to provide articles, information and resources that would assist you in taking your dreams to the next level. Sky is not the limit, get on board with the recommended books and you would be sure to take flight. There are just a few books out there that are timeless, and a must read for every individual on their growth for personal development. I will introduce you to new reading material that is currently revolutionizing different industries.

The first book to take off the Book Your Flight series is The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, by Stephen R. Covey ©1989. This book have become an instant national bestseller and inspired many to be effective by developing these seven habits:

1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
4. Think Win/Win
5. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen the Saw

This book is also available in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens, which I recommend to my younger audience. In fact, I love the teen version more, because it is more visually appealing. Almost twenty years after the release of the first book, Covey follows up the 7 Habits with the 8th Habits of Highly Effective People: From Effectiveness to Greatness. Am sure if any individual implement these habits into their lives, they would be on their way to reaching their career dreams.

Aspire. Create. Develop.
