Good stuff but partly same old...

It was hard for me to decide upon stars. If you haven't dug deeper inte Covey lore, than reading the 7 Habits, then this will provide additional insight into writing a mission statement.
However, if you have listened/read any of the 7 Habits "spin-offs" (seminars, focus-books, compilations, etc.), then this is mostly a rechewing of old advice.

Don't get me wrong though - it is good stuff, just not the first time it was served!

An amazing book!

Covey and the other speakers are amazing at putting you in a good place to write your own mission statement.

Too much music

Pointless music was inserted for some reason. I would have liked it much better had my time not been wasted on elevator music.

No new information

Most of the information given here is already included in other books from Covey. I was expecting this to be a much more practical guide to work on the purpose but didn't found what I was looking for.

Is this a mistake?

The only thing in this audiobook is instrumental music. I need a refund. It wasted my time.

too much empty elevator music

This was not so much a "gotcha". My purchase surely furthered Mr. Covey's mission statement, which includes getting rich without much effort. Music was an irritating distraction.
