Philosophical background

Covey was heavily influenced by Peter Drucker and Carl Rogers.

Another key influence on his thinking was his study of American self-help books that he did for his doctoral dissertation.

A further influence on Covey was his The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints beliefs. According to Clayton Christensen, The Seven Habits was a secular distillation of Latter-day Saint values.
