Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Covey takes over the reading of this engaging audio adaptation of his successful The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Families. His seven fundamental principles applied to family life include such well-worn phrases as beginning with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek first to understand?then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw. In this adaptation, Covey adds personal statements of numerous contributors struggling with these principles, greatly adding to the dynamic nature of his powerful ideas. Covey's narration warmly supports those trying to balance work with family, asking questions regarding life's priorities and the perplexing navigation through the furious sea of discordant demands for ever-reduced attention. Recommended for all public libraries.?Dale Farris, Groves, TX
