Some Summer Reading

Here are some books I would recommend that you read over the summer holidays. They are in pdf form which means you have to open them using Adobe Acrobat Reader. You can --- if you want --- print them out. They are very inspirational:

1. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first publishedin 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationallyrespected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness,so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as frombusiness challenges.

Before you can adopt the seven habits, you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in perceptionand interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and actregarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your "proactive muscles" (acting with initiative ratherthan reacting), and much more.
