DescriptionThis guide offers lessons in creating and sustaining a strong family culture in a trbulent world. With the same insight, simplicity and practical wisdom that propelled "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", Stephen R. Covey 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 this book, Covey shows how the seven habits create a powerful framework of timeless, universal and self-evident principles that enable family members to effectively communicate their problems and resolve them.
