7 Habits Of Highly Effective Families by Stephen R Covey

7 Habits Of Highly Effective Families by Stephen R Covey is described as a bestselling guide to building and sustaining a strong family culture in a turbulent world. It acknowledges that challenges are part of family life, whether they originate within the household or are driven by pressures from the outside.

Drawing on the insight, simplicity and practical wisdom associated with The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey applies the 7 Habits to what the source identifies as society’s primary concern: the family. The book sets out a framework of timeless, universal and self-evident principles designed to help family members communicate more effectively about problems and work towards resolving them.
