This book, first published in 1989, outlines seven habits that are designed to help individuals become more effective in their personal and professional lives. The habits are grouped into three categories: Private Victory (habits 1-3), Public Victory (habits 4-6), and Renewal (habit 7). The habits include being proactive, beginning with the end in mind, putting first things first, thinking win-win, seeking first to understand and then to be understood, synergizing, and sharpening the saw. Covey emphasizes the importance of personal integrity, effective time management, empathetic communication, and continuous self-improvement[2][5][4].
The Science of Getting Rich
Wallace D. Wattles
Written in 1910, 'The Science of Getting Rich' by Wallace D. Wattles is a classic in the personal development genre. The book is based on the author's 'Certain Way of Thinking', which emphasizes the importance of positivity, self-affirmation, and creativity over competition. Wattles argues that wealth is not just about financial gain but also about achieving economic and emotional security. He advocates for a mindset that believes in abundance and the power of positive thinking to attract wealth. The book is divided into 17 chapters that provide action steps to add value to others, thereby creating wealth. It also draws from the mental healing movement and incorporates elements of monistic theory, suggesting that the universe is composed of a single, formless substance that can be shaped by one's thoughts[1][2][4].
Procrastinate on purpose
Rory Vaden
Rory Vaden's "Procrastinate on Purpose" challenges conventional productivity wisdom. Instead of fighting procrastination, Vaden suggests strategically delaying tasks to maximize efficiency and focus. The book introduces the concept of the "Focus Funnel," a five-step process for prioritizing tasks based on their importance and the individual's unique strengths. Readers learn to eliminate, automate, delegate, procrastinate (purposefully), and concentrate on high-impact activities. The book emphasizes the importance of working in one's signature strength area and avoiding distractions.
