内容简介

Based on his father’s bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People，Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens，using a vivacious，entertaining style。To keep it fun，Covey writes，he “stuffed it full of cartoons，clever ideas，great quotes，and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world， along with a few other surprises。” Did he ever！ Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed，and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms，building equity in “relationship bank accounts，” creating action plans，and much more。

As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad’s theories， Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart：be proactive；begin with the end in mind； put first things first；think win-win；seek first to understand，then to be understood；synergize；and sharpen the saw。He includes a comical section titled “The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens，” which includes some，shall we say， counterproductive practices: put first things last；don’t cooperate；seek first to talk， then pretend to listen；wear yourself out，Covey’s humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers，and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference。（Ages 13 and older） --Emilie Coulter

In a sparkling production， Covey answers questions from a professional announcer and introduces short testimonials from real teenagers about how they implemented each of the seven habits。Snappy music is used as background and transitions，and the tone of the entire program is hip and contemporary。 Being based on a time-proven set of principles helps the effort，and the author uses many of his father’s anecdotes and analogies。His own charm and authority come through in spite of the hot-dog antics of the professional announcer。 The production is remarkable for its freshness and provides two hours of upbeat help for any teenager who wants it。 T。W。 AudioFile 2002，Portland， Maine—— Copyright © AudioFile， Portland， Maine --This text refers to the Audio CD edition。
