520 _aThe long-awaited new book that offers precious lessons in creating and sustaining a strong family culture in a turbulent world. With the same profound insight, simplicity, and practical wisdom that propelled The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to worldwide acclaim, Stephen R. Covey now focuses on the primary concern of society today - the family. No family is free from challenges from its own members or from the outside world. In his latest book Covey shows how the 7 Habits create a powerful framework of timeless, universal, and self-evident principles that enable family members to communicate effectively, set goals and find creative, meaningful ways for solving problems and improving their relationships. True happiness does not come from possessions or fame: it comes from the quality of your relationships with the people you love and respect. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families will help you find answers to such common family difficulties as: How can you have quality time for the family when both parents (or the only parent) are working simply to keep food on the table? How can you build harmony in the family when everyone is criticising and putting one another down? How can you influence a family member who just won't listen to you at all? How can you strengthen your family to withstand destructive influences in society? How can you discipline without punishing? How can you rebuild a broken relationship when the feeling is no longer there? How do you create and maintain order and a spirit of co-operation in the family yet give family members the freedom and autonomy they need to grow and find fulfilment? How do you create a spirit of fun, adventure, and excitement in the family?
