Success methods?!
|
I could say that this is an essential tool in the vast search for success. I have implemented and kept these habits in my life not only in business but in many other aspects.
Points which we all innately know, just nice to hear a clerical view.

An invitation to read the book
|
I read the book some years ago. It seemed to make sense but didn't stick by me. However, when you hear Covey and his stories, it is more convincing then print. When I have the time I'll pick the book up again. Covey's voice and tone are not the most entertaining but the clear presentation of ideas and his stories make up for this.
This isn't an audio book. It is more like a speech with some comments and music in between to cut it up in chapters. If I buy an e-book it's because I want to hear it while doing other stuff. The CD contains one track of approx 70 minutes. Several tracks so you it would be easier to pick up where you left before would be better.

Stephen R Covey's book helped me to understand that I am the one who must declare success into my life. I need to choose to be different and therefore act differently in order to acquire success. Our purpose and our direction are found when we decide to improve the way we do life. Who we are is more important than what we do. You will be thrilled with the improved output in your life when you change on the inside. Get ready for your mission, see the big picture, don't hesitate to move towards your dream and do it with integrity and an understanding of how others see life. Every day choose to make a difference and you will be amazed at the "who" you have become. This book taught me that leaders are readers and that I have to choose to grow. If it is to be THEN it is up to me. This is the book that changed my business life, my self belief and financial state forever.

Poor presentation
|
Steven Covey's voice is not dynamic so it is really difficult to become engaged by him. Also, he doesn't summarise or go back and repeat earlier 'habits' often enough. I have been listening to motivational podcasts and he could really learn a thing or two from some of those presenters.
Conceptually it is sound, but if you really want to learn anything get the book. It should come with a warning - do not operate heavy machinery while listening!

Manual for Life

I have read this book. It is an excellent guideline for life in POst-industrial society. It doesn't tell you about behaviour change rather it changes your phiosoophy of life as a whole and organizes it. A MUST READABLE BOOK.
