The narration by both father and son is great, but there is a technical issue where the son is at a higher volume. This should have been solved by applying the correct normalisation of the audio files.
An almost timeless self-help book

Timeless lessons on character, perspectives, life principles, and taking responsibility for our actions, our outcomes, and ultimately our lives.
Covey is a master of language, and uses personal and professional examples which we can all relate to throughout the book. This book should be re-read and studied annually - these are life long lessons which span generations. 👊🏽

Coveys delivery style isn’t always perfect. I struggled with his diction at times.
I felt that some of the anecdotes told my both Covey and his son may have been made up for effect. However, I have no real proof of this. It is purely speculation and my part. As such, I removed those thoughts from my mind and dealt only with the facts at hand.
What I like with this book is it encourages accountability which is vital for any process to work. It does not use anger at the system, your parents or any other uncontrollable factors to drive your success and justify your shortcomings.
I like that Covey recognises he is not the guru behind any of this and openly admits he adopts his principles from religion, philosophy and other proposed theories.
I have previously read Jordan Peterson which I didn’t like because I felt that he presents an approach opposite to the above in various ways. However, I have read the chimp paradox by Dr. Steve Peters. Like Covey, Peters talks about paradigms, the need to reframe them and the accountability for your behaviour. I have already implemented parts of Peters book into my own thinking and approach to life which has improved my life along with my family, friends and colleagues. This means I have already began implementing some of the principles Covey promotes here. I now intend to integrate more of those principles in my life.
I think that this book works for any person but it is a particular benefit to men who are fathers. The role of fathers has changed over the decades. The authors point that you can not be a career-centric person, a religion-centric person etc. and the importance of balance has allowed me to be kinder to myself and more realistic with my time.
Lastly, I am an atheist. Covey touches on his faith sporadically through the book. It’s a clear influence on his life. Going into the book I worried how this might impact my experience of reading it negatively. However, as these are principles it is not problematic. Principles are not hard and fast rules. Therefore, you can apply his desire to meditate on holy scripture with a pastime or process that meets your core values and delivers the same outcome for you as scripture does for Covey.
A good foundation of principles to help structure life
