Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

By: Stephen R. Covey

Narrated by: Stephen R. Covey

"To live with change, to optimize change, you need principles that don't change." —Dr. Stephen R. Covey

Success that endures -- sustainable and balanced success -- can seem difficult to achieve in today's turbulent, complex world of change. But those who achieve this kind of success live by seven universal, timeless, self-evident principles that apply in any situation, in any culture.

In Living the 7 Habits: The Courage to Change, Dr. Covey shows how successful people have used these principles to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and change their lives. By showing how real people have used the principles to thrive in a changing world, he provides practical guidance and powerful inspiration to readers searching for a proven framework for living a meaningful life.

The habits in action

What made the experience of listening to Living the 7 Habits the most enjoyable?

Being able to hear real stories of the habits in action. I've listened to/read "The 7 Habits..." countless times. Hearing how everyday people have applied them to their situations makes me want to work harder at applying them in my life.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I could relate to the father in the story called, "Because."

What about Stephen R. Covey’s performance did you like?

His kind, gentle and thorough manner in laying out the details of the habits makes for very easy listening.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Referring back to the story, "Because." Being the father of a 10-year-old daughter myself, this story made me think even more about how I must always work to improve the relationship I have with my daughter. Too many father's are absent in the lives of their daughters and it without a doubt has a detrimental effect on their growing up to be strong, confident women. The world needs more strong, male role models.

Any additional comments?

Be aware that this is an abridged version of the actual book. Not every story in the book is on this audio program. But don't let that stop you. It's a great motivator when you're feeling stuck.

What an incredible book

Wow very powerful lessons. For all those that would like to learn how the 7 Habits are used in everyday life this is a must read.

Worth it to me.

It's hard to justify spending $5 on an hour long book when you can find numerous books 10 hours long for $15. However it was definitely worth it. The stories are definitely inspiring.
