Features: Bestselling book on Amazon, Business Week, and The New York Times Business Bestseller List! Chinese edition of the global bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey! New time management methods and practical time control techniques. "Life, Love, Learn, Leave a Legacy." Make your life a lifelong work, not let work become your life. This book will help you break free from the tyranny of the clock and rediscover your compass. This compass will help you live happily, love, learn, and leave a legacy. This book proposes a completely different time management method—principle-centered—beyond the traditional methods that praise speed, effort, and cleverness. It doesn’t give you another clock but a compass—because direction is more important than speed. The book is divided into four parts: Clock and Compass, The Main Problem: Putting First Things First, Synergy in Interdependence, and The Power and Peace of Living Centered on Principles. In one sense, this method is entirely new; in another sense, it is ancient, deeply rooted in timeless classic principles, and completely different from the current time management concepts and "success" philosophies that promote quick fixes and get-rich-quick schemes. We live in a modern society that loves shortcuts, but shortcuts cannot create quality of life.
