Critic reviews

"The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is by now one of the best-selling books of all time." (Fortune)

Insightful, Life Changing & HUGELY Purposeful.

After listening to this book 2 times, I immediately downloaded The 8th Habit! Thank You Stephen! I must say that this book is most useful and/ or impactful to those who are “ready” to do the work.

Should Be Taught in School

Completely changed the way I approached leadership and relationships in the best of ways. The narration is a little monotone at times, but the insight is strong enough to stay engaged.

very good book

loved it ..amazing narration and speed was appropriate..Stephen was a great writer and he remains an inspiration

One of the greats

I have read and listen to may books over the last few years. Listening to this one brought me back to where it all started. This is must read because it hits us at a different level.

Any additional comments?

Because I know Covey came up with products for time management shortly following this book, I felt like I was being "marketed to" in that section.

Love it

Just wish they had the unabridged version this & the workbook available in spanish, my family could really benefit from it. Great read/listen. Hope more of his unabridged books will be available soon

Wow

The experience listening to this book was beyond my control. I was truly fascinated by Covey's ability to turn a complex matter into an extraordinarily simple practice.
