Stephen Covey has written a remarkable book about the human condition, so elegantly written, so understanding of our embedded concerns, so useful for our organization and personal lives, that it's going to be my gift to everyone I know. -- Warren Bennis, author of On Becoming a Leader I've never known any teacher or mentor on improving personal effectiveness to generate such an Overwhelmingly positive reaction.... This book captures beautifully Stephen's philosophy of principles. I think anyone reading it will quickly understand the enormous reaction I and others have had to Dr.Covey's teachings. -- John Pepper, President, Procter and Gamble Stephen Covey is an American Socrates, opening your mind to the 'permanent things' -- values, family, relationships, communicating. -- Brian Tracy, author of Psychology of Achievement Stephen R. Covey's book teaches with power, conviction, and feeling. Both the content and the methodology of these principles form a solid foundation for effective communication. As an educator, I think this book to be a significant addition to my library. -- William Rolfe Kerr, Utah Commissioner of Higher Education Few students of management and organization -- and people -- have thought as long and hard about first principles as Stephen Covey. In The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, he offers us an opportunity, not a how-to guide. The opportunity is to explore our impact and ourselves on others, and to do so by taking advantage of his profound insights. It is a wonderful book that could change your life. -- Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence The ethical basis for human relations in this book defines a way of life, not just a methodology for succeeding at business. That it works is apparent. -- Bruce L. Christensen, President, Public Broadcasting Service At a time when American organizations desperately need to energize people and produce leaders at all levels, Covey provides an empowering philosophy for life that is also the best guarantee of success in business...a perfect blend of wisdom, compassion, and practical experience. -- Rosabeth Moss Kanter, editor of the Harvard Business Review and author of When Giants Learn to Dance I have learned so much from Stephen Covey over the years that every time I sit down to write, I'm worried about subconscious plagiarism! Seven Habits is not pop psychology or trendy self-help. It is solid wisdom and sound principles. -- Richard M. Eyre, author of Life Balance and Teaching Children Values We could do well to make the reading and use of this book a requirement for anyone at any level of public service. It would be far more effective than any legislation regarding ethical conduct. -- Senator Jake Garn, first senator in space When Stephen Covey talks, executives listen. -- Dun's Business Month Stephen Covey's inspirational book will undoubtedly be the psychology handbook of the '90s. The principles discussed are universal and can be applied to every aspect of life.

Femininity and street life : a. “Despite the chronic level of violence against women on the street, Tina celebrated her femininity. Whenever she lit up her crack pipe, she draped her arms around whatever man was closest to her in a spontaneous expression of affection. She often pulled out a little compact, even in the candlelight, to apply lipstick, lip liner, mascara, and concealer.” (Page 49). b. “Tina had been living as an independent woman on and off the street for almost five years since her last serious love relationship, with the father of her youngest daughter, Jewel. One of her survival strategies was to cultivate a diverse set of male “friends” willing to give her money, drugs, food, and other resources in exchange for sex. Carter’s version of masculine control and romance, however, required her sexual fidelity.” (Page 51). i. “Tina seesawed between exhilaration over falling in love with Carter and fear of becoming subservient to a man and losing her core income-generating strategy.” (Page 51). ii. “And I’m gonna keep my friends. I mean, he’d never know . I never tell him. Because I have to always look out for my damn self. Never let a person—a man—know every damn thing about you.” (Page 51). c. “Tina’s instrumental relationships with men, even with those for whom she felt affection, illustrates the complex continuum between altruism and instrumentality that haunts all malefemale sexual relations and intimate feelings but becomes more visible under conditions of urban poverty and masculine domination.”(Page 52). d. “Sex, affection, and income were logically intertwined in the gray zone of poverty and abandonment that had engulfed her early years. She learned to mobilize her sexuality and femininity with personal charisma.”
