Stephen R Covey - the famous self help guru passed away on July 16th. Best known for his immensely popular book - The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey built on the success of his book founding the Franklin Covey institute and extending his business to motivational speaking and co-authoring several other books.
Through his books and seminars Covey touched the lives of millions of people. Like most others, my first encounter with Covey was through his most popular book. The messages were simple and straight forward, the ideas detailed in the book were peppered with real life examples from Covey's life and from what he had observed. Probably that's why the book was such a big hit.
A few years later, I came across one of Covey's videos on the internet. If Covey sounded great on paper, the audio-visual seminar was even more impressive.
Though Covey is no more, he made a lasting contribution to humanity and his ideas will live on.
Stephen R Covey, Rest in peace.
