Truisms of effective living

On the whole I found this famous book helpful and enjoyable. How Covey articulates the P - PC balance was helpful. Circle of concern, circle of influence.
For me the first three habits (independence) - be pro-active, start with the end in mind, and first things first were the more helpful habits and I listened to them a second time. The second three habits (interdependence) are more (but not exclusively) applicable to business.
I also found particularly useful the prioritising quadrant system - and that we should aim to spend the majority of our time in quadrant 2 - what is non-urgent but important. This has been really helpful in my everyday life and has prevented me procrastinating so much.
I agree with some of the reviewers that the author is not the most gifted narrator, yet he is very clear. I also think it is important that the author brings in his own spiritual belief into his writings because that is what he believes underpins his lessons. If a reader disagreed with this point, it does not detract from the other lessons in the work.

the most life-changing book ever

you can see why it is a bestseller. I won't repeat what everyone else says just read it. But I agree about the narrator, I put it on to time speed and it's fine then full stop

Great concepts- difficult to follow

Excellent ideas. A bit heavy to follow. Not sure if it is suitable material for audio book. It needs thinking over presented ideas.

A great Asset to the rest of my life

This book has had a profound effect on me, in every aspect on my life. I listened to the audio version whilst out running and finished it in a week. I am a 46 year old woman and can only wish I read this 20 years ago. Thank you Stephen Covey!
