/biz/ - Business & Finance

Can't do one sentence, but I like this thread's basic premise

>Make a habit of constantly improving on your skills - don't get rusty

>Focus only on important shit and stuff you can do right now

>Stop looking at the world in terms of others as being your competitors or taking resources away from you, instead look at all transactions as mutually beneficial

>Believe you have control.

>Have clearly defined goals. And keep working towards them

Big fan of 7 habits, not purley /biz/ but fuck it.

Just finished reading this.
>Thoughts?
>Ever try and live by these habits?
>Is the follow-up book, 8th habit, a worthy read?

Anyone read this book?

I started to read

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_7_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People.jpg

because it was used in a lecture on a "fitness day" at the university and caught my interest.

I'm essentially searching for a way to structure my day to day life for more discipline.

What do you think of the book?
Does it deserve to be as successful as it is? Seems to be a big thing.
(I'm on around page 50 and while I like it, there are too many metaphors and the author is also too religious for my taste.)
Alternative recommendations?

Not super related to /biz/ but I'm enjoying reading this. It has more to do with changing your perspective. It really helps me to prioritize the things in my life.
