STEPHEN COVEY AND THE 7 HABITS philosophy is, in several senses, about time. I do not mean simply, however, that Covey's ideas are about time management, which of course in large part they are, but that they are also about those crucial moments of time when you are oh so tempted to react out of impulse. An example of this (perhaps the biggest and best example of this, indeed), is when you really, really want to blast someone out.

Covey emphasises the notion of wisdom. Wisdom, in part, is about knowing when to rein in your own tongue. This, in a nutshell, is an issue of "anger management." I'd say that one owes it to oneself to learn the difficult set of skills required to stop, for an extended period of time, (seconds, even a whole minute), so that you can consider carefully your reaction to a stressful situation. This is no mean set of skills, and takes a lot of time, and probably a decent dose of reading and getting advice, to get a handle on that impulsivity that so many of us too often experience. The crux of the 7 habits of Stephen Covey (CLICK HERE for books by Stephen Covey like 7 Seven Habits) is not to damage your future by indulging in undiscipined actions in the now. This, perhaps, is the underpinning concept behind the 'Character ethic', in fact, and therefore an underlining theme of all of Covey's books (the Eighth Habit, the 7 habits.)
