Critic reviews

"When Stephen Covey talks, executives listen." (Dun's Business Month)

Interesting!

Some interesting ways to evaluate oneself. Some tips and tricks to know what we truly want.

Long Time 7 habits Follower

This is a response to those whom think that Dr. Covey narrating his own book is not doing the material justice. Are you really seriously critiquing the way the author chooses to deliver his material to others? Buy the book then listen to Dr. Covey deliver his message in a different and more powerful way. Why should an digital audio representation of material published several years ago be simply the same? Perhaps you should consider the potential for further examination. What a treat Dr. Covey. Thank you for taking the time.

Great boost!

I enjoyed re visiting this great book! I am revitalized, and ready for action. There is something in here for everyone, from the executive to the average Joe and everyone in between.

This is well done

I read the book several years ago. As one who usually does not like abridged titles, I was presently surprised that this recording had enough to fulfill my expectations. It was a good review for me and provided some key concepts to remember and adapt.

A treasure of quality information

This is a book that anyone can put in their tool belt and refer back to over and over. It is extremely powerful and can reframe your way of approaching and percieving life. It is true what Stephen Covey says there is no way to dispute the 7 habits they are and have been a part of life since it began. it is highly inspirational and an absolute joy to listen to.

Informative

Food for the Soul to live by. Read more than once. Great information for life

Life changing!

This is an excellent audiobook. The 7 habits are timeless principles and I found all of them true! Covey is doing an excellent job with describing a way to turn our life around. I bought the cassettes 5 years ago at Borders at the WTC and I've listened to it around 20 times! It's rich! It's inspiring! It's true! Covey is one of the great men of our time!
