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].
In 'Roar,' Dr. Stacy T. Sims addresses the long-standing issue of female physiology being overlooked in exercise and nutrition research. The book provides research-based methods for women to align their training, fueling, and hydration with their menstrual cycles and hormonal changes. It covers topics such as the impacts of hormonal fluctuations on performance, the effects of hormonal birth control, and specific advice for different life stages including pregnancy and menopause. The book is designed to help women understand and work with their physiology rather than against it, ensuring optimal performance, health, and a strong, lean body[2][3][5].
