Amazon.in:Customer reviews: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

I have read hundreds of such books, and I usually do not write reviews on them. But this one is special in the sense that it is way too over-hyped. I regret buying it.

The "wisdom" provided by this book has been around for thousands of years. No surprise. Such is the nature of immutable truth. So why do people still write such books? And how do we distinguish the quality ones among them? The answer to the first question is that it is difficult to organize the wisdom and knowledge that resides in the minds and hearts of the wise men, and it is even more difficult to convey them to the thirsty audience. The author of this book is ineffective in especially conveying part. Verbose. No power in prose. Often times obvious facts explained in several pages.

The answer to the second question is "by choosing books that can overcome the difficulties mentioned above". If you are serious about gaining wisdom on this subject, read Napoleon Hill. Especially his later books "Think and Grow Rich with Peace of Mind" and "You Can Work Your Own Miracles". You get so much more under 200 pages, from both of the books. And be informed that those who blatantly harass Hill are the ones who cannot get to the depth of his spiritual understanding. Younger authors of this kind with diluted writing you don't need. Do not buy the claim "I have a new approach" from the authors of the last 50 years.

Good content. TERRIBLE STYLE OF WRITING

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 4 January 2021

Honestly I have read so many books that I started to not just focus on the material but also of the style of writing. In my humble opinion, the content is great. The execution however, is terrible. I hated reading this book because of its style. I would never recommend a new reader to read this book because I know he will end up not liking to read in general. Remember, the best way for someone to learn is to give them a good time as they learn. Although I a disciplined... most of my friends said they couldn’t finished. OVERRATED

Three Times As Long As It Needs To Be

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 3 December 2021

The son of the author contributes additional material to his father's work, which was much too long to begin with. The basic advice is good, I just don't need forty pages of explanation of how he reached the conclusion and I don't need four or five example stories.
I suggest just skimming and speed reading.

Low Quality

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 28 March 2021

Verified Purchase

I have read this book a couple of times in the past and wanted the hardcover to have on my bookshelf. I was slightly disappointed that the sleeve that fits over the book arrived with two small tears in it. As other reviews mentioned, the pages and print quality are also very poor. I will keep it on my shelf, but overall disappointed with the purchase.

Didn’t receive the audible book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on 15 June 2020

I thought I read in the description that you receive the audible book for free with the purchase of the book. If I knew that wasn’t the case I would’ve just tried finding a way to buy only the audible version. I have a long commute to and from work so it’s ideal for me to have the audible book since I don’t have a lot of time to sit down and read. Still currently trying to figure out how to obtain the audible book.

Could have been summed up better. Way too many personal stories and repetition occurs page after page.
