A quick quote from the beginning:

=====
The book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold over 15 million
copies since it was first published in 1989, teaching people all over
the world how to live a happier, more successful and more satisfying
life. One of the prevailing themes of the book is the fact that to
change your life you need to change your attitude because no one else
is responsible for what happens to you but you, so you can either
complain about the things you don’t like in your life or you can set
about changing them.

Some good ideas there.

I wish I'd been presented this when I was a teenager. This is the kind of thing that should be part
of a high school curriculum. It would be much more appropriate than a lot of the crap that's being
taught.
