Description
With the same profound insight, simplicity, and practical wisdom that have already reached tens of millions of readers, Stephen R. Covey demonstrates how the principles introduced in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People can be used to build the kind of strong, loving family that lasts for generations.

As Covey says, "When you raise your children, you are also raising your grandchildren." Covey explains that strong families don't just happen, but need the combined energy, talents, desire, vision, and dedication of all their members. Sharing, insightful, often poignant or humorous experiences from his own life and from the lives of other families, he imparts practical advice on solving common family dilemmas, such as finding quality time to spend together, dealing with family disputes, healing a broken relationship, and changing a negative family atmosphere.

He shows how families can learn to incorporate principles into their daily lives through activities, meetings, and games that involve all family members and help to create a spirit of understanding, support, and enthusiasm. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families is destined to become the preeminent work on the family, providing a new bench mark of a very important global topic.
