This book will shatter your ideal of compromise being the best way to handle strong or minor differences.
"Hard to listen to."
The narrator tried to sound like Stephen Covey but his lows were too low and I found myself adjusting the volume throughout.
"Life changing!"
This book opened my eyes and intro used me to the third alternative. Covey teaches us something that we have always known was there and wanted to live. His words of wisdom can bless families, businesses, and politicians.
The true principles taught.
