商品の説明
Amazonレビュー
本書は1990年に初版が出版されたときにセンセーションを巻き起こしており、以来1,000万部以上を売り上げ、ビジネス書として今でもベストセラーを続けている。著者のスティーブン・コヴィーは、国際的に高い評価を受けるリーダーシップ研究の第一人者。真に成功を果たすには個人としての有効性と職業としての有効性をバランス良く備えることが重要だと認識しており、それを反映して本書は、この2つの領域でより効果的に行動するための手引書となっている。ここで引用される具体例では、ビジネス上の課題を題材にしたものと同じくらい家庭内における状況を数多く取り上げている。
7つの習慣を身につける前に、コヴィーが「パラダイムシフト」と呼ぶところの、世の中の仕組みに対する認識と解釈の転換をまず実現する必要がある。著者はこの転換の実現を支援し、生産性、時間管理、前向きな思考、「予防的に働く筋肉」(何かに反応するのではなく自発的に行動すること)の開発など、他にも多くのことに関する認識と行動に影響を与えている。
本書は明日からでも実践できることを謳い文句にしたヒント集ではない。そのコンセプトは時に複雑であるため、流し読むのではなく、じっくりと腰を据えてここから学び取りたいと感じる筈である。読み終えたときには、どの章にも付箋や手書きの注釈が数多く残され、コヴィーの集中セミナーに参加したような充実感に満たされることだろう。(Joan Price, Amazon.com)

CDだから、英語の勉強を兼ねてくり返し聞くことになるだろう。
それが良い点だと思う。かつて、「7つの習慣」は本で読んだが、読み終わって2,3日は本を意識して日常を過すようにしたが、すぐに忘れてしまった。
だが、CDを毎晩寝る前、起きて通勤時間に聞くようにしたところ、毎日7つの習慣の通りに行動することができる。
英語も平坦で聴き取りやすく、リスニングの勉強までできてしまう!

洋書のCDブックを購入するのは初めてだったので、いろいろ同じタイトルのCDブックがあり迷いましたが、これを購入しました。邦訳されている本の文章と同一のものでもないし、ハードカバー版の洋書の文章ともトークの内容がかなり違うので、英語を勉強しようと思って購入するとちょっと難しいですね。大まかな内容や趣意は本と同じと思いますが、本と同一のCDブックは無いんでしょうかね

同名の単行本の方はつとに有名。しかし、CDも本の焼き直しには終わっていません。3巻の構成ですが、一つ一つのセクションが短くまとめられていますので、まとめて聞く時間がとれなくても、ストレスなく聞き終えることができます。講演経験豊富な著者が、ゆっくりと分かりやすい言葉で話していますので、英語の負担も軽いと思います。著書には載っていない印象的なエピソードやユーモラスな講演のライブなども収録されています。

Comparing "7 Habits of Highly Effective People" Audio Products
2006年11月4日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
In 2006, I purchased three different audio CD programs based on
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
(plus a few copies of the book) as gifts for people with different personalities and learning styles. I am also familiar with some older products.
The three-disc program described on this page is mentioned in REVIEW #2 below. Sometimes the product descriptions don't give you a clear idea which product you're reading about. Check the running times of audio products to determine if they're similar to the ones described below:
REVIEW #1 - UNABRIDGED AUDIO BOOK
The product on this page (as I write this review) is an UNABRIDGED AUDIO CD VERSION of the 15th anniversary edition of the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Unabridged Audio Program) . It would be ideal for people who are ready for a personal plan to study and apply the principles in the book to their own lives, but who need a little extra "push". I would suggest listening to the CDs before or while studying corresponding segments of the book, either alone or with someone else. The encouraging, calm and authentic voice of the author gives an extra dimension to the text - keeps you focused. Regularly scheduled study or discussion sessions could be short, as each CD is divided into several tracks which basically follow the headings and sub-headings in the book. This CD product demonstrates how well the book was written, as the text flows so nicely when read by the author. It includes some introductory and explanatory comments in addition to the text in the book.
This could be a 5-star product for people who plan to use it along with the book or after having read the book. It is probably not the most efficient "stand-alone" learning tool for most people - the printed book is. It may be good for those who have more time for listening (about 14 hours on 13 disks) than for reading and who are good at learning by hearing. The discs come with a little "study guide" booklet, which I think was created for an earlier audio product. The booklet is good for review, but seeing the diagrams in the printed book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is more useful if you are reading along with the audio version. I find the occasional introductory music in the audio program a little distracting, but the author's reading is engaging.
The unabridged book is also available for audio download The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change (Unabridged) with a slightly shorter running time (less than 13 hours) listed. I'm not sure how it would compare in usefulness to the CDs discussed here.
REVIEW #2 - THREE DISC PROGRAM
Of the audio products I have listened to, the one I would consider to be "5 star" as a stand-alone learning tool (either for individual or small-group listening) is the 3-DISC "AUDIOBOOK ON CD" (circa 2001-2002) which says, "Taught by the Author" on the cover rather than "Unabridged, read by the author". The 3-CD set The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is intermittently available at Amazon. However, it is not really an "Audiobook". It is also very different from the one-CD product described in the "Product Description".
This product presents information partly in a seminar or classroom lecture format, with comments by people on how they have applied some of the principles in their own lives. The importance of authenticity and trust in interpersonal and business relationships seem to get extra emphasis in this audio product. Running time is about 3 hours, 20 minutes.
This is probably the most useful audio product for people who don't like to read much, but it also complements the book without following it too closely. It comes with a useful little study guide summarizing the "7 habits", which includes some of the diagrams found in the book. The booklet is handy as an overview, even if you have the book. I believe that this product is more suitable for non-optimal listening situations (in the car, etc.) than is the 13-disc unabridged audio book, which, like the printed book, seems to call for a quiet setting where you can devote your full attention.
Each CD in the 3-disc set is divided into short one or two minute tracks (sometimes with several tracks in a single topic segment) so you can pause easily for reflection or discussion. Divisions between the short tracks are not evident as you are listening. Some reviewers have noted troublesome differences in volume between the text and short musical "bumpers" between topics. This bothered me a little on one of the CD players I listened with. You might try turning down the treble or turning the volume up and moving further from the machine if the relative loudness of the music bothers you.
Update May 2010: A download is now available. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People . You might want to also purchase the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People , which contains all the diagrams in the booklet which accompanies the CD set, plus much more.
In case the set is not available at Amazon, Franklin-Covey sells a (more expensive) 3-CD set which is likely similar to the product described above, with different cover art. Conant-Nightingale sells a 6-CD set which I would also expect to be a quality product.
REVIEW #3 - ONE-DISC OVERVIEW
The SIMON & SCHUSTER SINGLE-DISC CD version (copyright 1999) of the old, original Simon and Schuster audiocassette product also should not really be classified as an "audiobook". by Stephen R. Covey (Author)7 Habits Of Highly Effective People [Audio CD, Abridged, Audiobook, CD ] In its day, the audiocassette version was a very well-produced, lucid overview of the original book with introductory statements by a female narrator, then explanations and examples by Dr. Covey from his professional seminars. The tape version was useful as motivation to read, teach, apply or to think more deeply about the book than as an independent learning tool. It was a big seller when the book was making a big splash.
Simon & Schuster dropped the ball when they put the CD version onto a single track of about 72 minutes. You may need to be prepared to listen to the whole CD in one sitting. I now cannot find this product on Amazon, but I do see a new, more expensive 1-CD product called a "15th anniversary edition", publishing date 2005. The product information states that the publisher is Simon & Schuster, but the image says FranklinCovey. It may be a new release of the original audiocasette. I would check to see if multiple tracks have been added before buying it. You might consider a DVD if you're looking for a single-sitting refresher or motivator. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Foundational Principles
OTHER RELATED PRODUCTS
I notice that FranklinCovey is now coming out with a new "SIGNATURE SERIES" of CDs in which one CD is devoted to each of the "7 habits". I am not familiar with this product. The CDs are sold as a set or individually. Some other audio versions and "spin-off" products have been introduced over the years. I much prefer the products which present information in an organized manner to those which present seemingly random motivational thoughts (like "reflections" on the 7 habits, cards, calendars, etc.). Many of the "spin-off" products would be far less valuable than the original book for most people.

Extraordinary and as valuable as the day it was published
The 7 Habits are timeless. Covey spent his life trying to put this book together, and it shows. I have read this book completely. I also own the audio version, which is recorded in the author's voice. Whichever you decide to do, you want to own this book, and take OWNERSHIP of its contents.
This is an important point. My friend Mark is among the most gifted people intellectually on the planet. One day he is describing to me the people that take courses at colleges later on in life. The most interesting students to him were the ones who didn't just take the course, go to class, and do the homework. They were the ones who decided to OWN the knowledge in that course.
They devoured the information. They challenged the professor in his thinking. They read the other UN-assigned books that the professor spoke about. Their interest was not in the letter grade at the end of the course. It was in knowing that they had done a magnificent job in DRAINING the mind of the guy, or gal in the front of the room.
I feel the same way about Covey and what he has to offer because it is timeless. I can't imagine how anyone can sit in a car, and listen to inane music from a fellow struggling to sing hip-hop about the hood. The alternative is you could be altering your life for the better by absorbing the knowledge bank of this outstanding author from your CD player.
Now remember, you are not going to get out of a CD what you are going to get out of a book. They are radically different media experiences. With a book, you can annotate the margins, underline, write on the inside blank pages. I hate it when there are no blank pages in the back of the book where I can write whole sentences, and refer back to the page in the book where the thoughts came from.
With the CD's in the car, you are taking what is essentially wasted time, and turning it into wonderful, well-spent time. Covey's concept of "Sharpening the Saw", which is a summary of the habits, and how you can RENEW yourself is worth the whole price of the book or audio set alone.
I also love the fact that Covey is not talking about highly successful people, because what does that mean? He's talking about EFFECTIVE PEOPLE, and that makes all the difference in the world. As Americans we tend to concentrate too much on successful people, while most of us don't realize that a great part of success can be attributed to LUCK. It's simply the guy competing against a thousand other guys for the same gold ring, and he's the one that comes through the funnel.
A perfect example is Bill Gates creating the operating system that eventually dominated the personal computer world. There were a thousand brilliant minds trying to get that one done. These fellows included Steven Jobs of Apple who decided not to license his far superior Apple system to the PC world. Had Jobs decided to do this, he would be the wealthiest person in the world, and I doubt we would have ever head of Bill Gates. What this means is that there are a thousand people running around loose out there that simply never made it through the funnel, although they all might have been capable.
Now what Covey is talking about are "Highly Effective People". Anybody can drastically improve their effectiveness if they simply take the time to master what Covey is trying to convey to them. The beauty of these habits is just that, they are habits. You don't have to change your personality, or put on a façade to become effective. You have to adopt new habits. Once a habit becomes part of your daily routine, the effectiveness just kicks in automatically.
As I would listen to these CD's, I could feel transformations taking place. If you go the CD route, you want to replay them every couple of months. Your mind becomes receptive to different parts of what Covey is conveying at different times. That's what makes you a human being.
If you want to rock your world, than you listen to Covey. Of course for those of us who want to remain the same stagnant person, getting up in the morning and repeating the experiences of our lives over and over again - THERE'S ALWAYS HIP-HOP.

The Best of Personal Growth and Development
2011年9月26日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I have read and studied approaches to personal growth over the years. In recent years due to health challenges that pursuit has taken on more spiritual pursuits. I have read and listened to Stephen Covey for almost 20 years. I had the great pleasure of hearing Stephen Covey in person. I happened to bump into Mr. Covey during a break in the day's activities. He was walking with several people and I apologized for interrupting that I might have a brief word with him. He was patient and totally attentive to what I had to say. I felt as though we were long time friends and that he was genuinely interested in me. Stephen Covey is the real deal. His teachings are not about techniques and personality. They are about principles and character. Take the time to do the exercises. They will benefit your mind, your body, your soul, and those around you.

NOT an Audio Book -- more like a CD Seminar
2001年10月13日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
The "Audio CD" version of THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE is NOT really an audio book. However, the availability of an ABRIDGED Audio CD version might lead you to believe that it is an unabridged reading of the book. Because of this, I rated the "Audio CD" version with only 3 stars. I have not heard the abridged version, so my comments do apply to it.
The "Audio CD" version of THE 7 HABITS is really more like a Seminar on CD -- a VERY HIGH QUALITY CD Seminar, in fact. Mr. Covey TEACHES this material in short segments separated by musical interludes, with commercial-type announcements like "Steven R. Covey will now teach us the importance of putting first things first." TESTIMONY-type inserts in other people's voices are scattered throughout.
Many, many people will enjoy this EVEN MORE than a straight reading of the book -- especially if you are going through the 7 HABITS in a small group setting. This format is perfect for that. If I could rate the PRODUCT and the CONTENT separately, I might give this a 5-STAR rating for content; however, I wrote this review for the person who is wondering if this is an unabridged AudioBook, a straightforward reading of the text of the book. It is not. If THAT is what you want, don't get this.
Personally, I found the musical interludes annoying. I found the changes in volume disruptive. The first few times the music came on, I literally jumped in my seat because the sudden increase in volume startled me. And the opposite is just as annoying. Some of the testimonies are slightly lower in volume, and difficult to hear over traffic without turning the volume up temporarily.
In conclusion, this CD set does not earn my recommendation for good CAR LISTENING. It does not earn my recommendation as a good AUDIO BOOK. BUT it is a HIGHLY EFFECTIVE way to present the material, and I think that many, many people would rate it with 5 STARS for the exact same reason that I gave it 3, thinking "Wow, it's even better than an audio book!"
The "Audio CD" version of THE 7 HABITS is really more like a Seminar on CD -- a VERY HIGH QUALITY CD Seminar, in fact. Mr. Covey TEACHES this material in short segments separated by musical interludes, with commercial-type announcements like "Steven R. Covey will now teach us the importance of putting first things first." TESTIMONY-type inserts in other people's voices are scattered throughout.
Many, many people will enjoy this EVEN MORE than a straight reading of the book -- especially if you are going through the 7 HABITS in a small group setting. This format is perfect for that. If I could rate the PRODUCT and the CONTENT separately, I might give this a 5-STAR rating for content; however, I wrote this review for the person who is wondering if this is an unabridged AudioBook, a straightforward reading of the text of the book. It is not. If THAT is what you want, don't get this.
