Reading it was at the exact right time I needed to read it, hear it, and feel it. With all that I’ve gone through and am in the middle of now, I’m deciding to use this book as a stepping-off point to new opportunities and doing things differently. While reading this, it was as if Amy was speaking directly to me, in a one-on-one conversation. Her writing gave me more therapy than talking to a professional therapist ever has.

“I now believe lightning does indeed strike twice! Master storyteller Amy Chambers has done it again. On the heels of her first book, 7 V.I.R.T.U.E.S. of Exceptional Leaders, which itself was an imperative wake-up call to effective leadership, comes her latest book, 6 H.A.B.I.T.S. of Powerful People. She really does come off as the heir apparent to Stephen R. Covey’s groundbreaking work on the 7 Habits. This latest book by Chambers shows her (and our) indomitable spirit and gives us a palpable sense of what it means to truly operate on all six leadership cylinders. Written in a conversational tone, one imagines this is what Chambers would say to you in a personal one-on-one coaching session. Chambers delivers up a winning recipe that is the perfect combination of wisdom, experience, and a road map for real achievement. Another command performance!”
– Ara Norwood, Publisher of Uncommon Sense
“I found it incredibly hard to put this book down once I started reading it! The 6 H.A.B.I.T.S. are powerful and insightful concepts that I believe anyone could benefit from. In Habit 6: Stay Secure and Strong, Amy states how “cognitive redirection is a beautiful thing, but it can’t happen if we choose to live in autopilot.” Isn’t that the truth? Reading this book really inspired me to live a more conscious life and not be afraid to create big goals.”
– Emma Tomlinson, Head of Facilities and Building Security

For those who read this book (and make the choice to practice the concepts and habits within it), this book will change your mind. This is not just another self-development book. It is a true reflection of someone who has learned from their experiences, studied the stories of others, and intentionally created their own practices for each habit. If you’re searching for personal development strategies that really work to help you deliver the results you seek in your life, this is the inspiring book you’re looking for.
– Felicia Coney, Director of Talent , Optimization & Engagement
“I read a lot of books about mindset and inspiration, but rarely have I found one that contains so many “Yes – I totally agree!” moments. As I read 6 H.A.B.I.T.S., I kept finding passages where Amy would capture something which I intuitively believe, but in words which made the point easy to understand and remember. I have so many pages in the book now which I have “dog eared” so I can go back to them quickly when I need to be reminded or inspired about these important principles. There are certainly books out there that cover the same ideas as Amy does, but she does it in a way that is very personal, authentic, and relatable, not in an academic, “ivory tower” sort of way. I am already recommending this book to my friends and family and recommend it to Amazon shoppers as well.”
– Shawn Hoyt, Senior Deal Desk, Operations, and Legal Executive
“Amy has done it again. Now we have her second book, and it is a winner. Her first book, “7 Virtues of Exceptional Leaders” offered a straightforward set of ideas to become an exceptional leader. She used her real-world, personal experience plus extensive research from other authors and practitioners to offer a clear, concise path to becoming a more effective leader at any level. Book #1 focuses on being a leader, leading people. They might be employees, members of a charitable board of directors, even members of law enforcement or the military. It is about being able to lead others better. Now Book #2, “6 Habits of Powerful People,” comes along and it is not about leading others but rather developing and leading ourselves. She is not suggesting we will be powerful in terms of what we do to others. Her message is clear: we need to develop a set of habits to make ourselves, you, and me, into the best human beings possible. As before, the book is well researched and full of stories both from Amy and others to reinforce her “6 Habits.” How to read the book? I think it is, again, best to read the entire book at a comfortable pace and do your best to identify with the issues Amy is presenting. Then go back and look for those areas where you need the most improvement. It is possible you already have a great grip on some of the habits but need to work on others remembering the habits are overlapping and connected. As the meditation for May 5 says in “The Daily Stoic” by Ryan Holliday: You are the project. This is your challenge. Find the areas where you know you can improve and “just do it.”
– LtCol, Don Bonsper, USMC (Ret)
“Delving into Amy’s book, 6 H.A.B.I.T.S. of Powerful People, has been a transformative experience, prompting introspection into my daily habits and a desire for personal growth. Amy’s insights resonated deeply with me, and knowing Amy personally, I could hear her voice in every word, making the reading both enlightening and enjoyable.”
– Austin Metoyer, President and CEO of the Downtown Long Beach Alliance
“This book is a must read for anyone seeking to be their best selves and live a happier and fuller life! What makes the book such a compelling read is that she intertwines her own life experiences (setbacks and all) to take the reader along with her on her own self-improvement journey. She makes it clear that if she is able to do it – anyone can. She is also vulnerable in her story telling that draws you in and makes it an easy read – you will laugh and you will cry but most importantly you will be inspired to be your best self!”
– Jaime Arroyo, Relationship Officer
