Review

For Every Latter-day Saint, May 03, 2004
By Elaine

This is one of the most excellent books I have ever read. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who is trying to understand life with it's ups and downs, trying to build & repair relationships, or wanting to gain more spirituality. It is my mother's book which has sat in their house for years, and only now have I discovered it - married and two kids later!!! I am purchasing my own copy as it is one of her favourites too! --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Than 7 Habits, August 4, 2000

This review is from: Spiritual Roots of Human Relations (Paperback)

This is the original from which Covey based all his later 7 Habits books, writings, seminars, etc. Much more powerful than expected, this is not a book for the squeamish. If you're afraid to improve, if you're afraid to make your life enormously successful, then stay away from this book. If you want to know what First Things First means, here's a great place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great application of spiritual principles to everyday life., March 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Spiritual Roots of Human Relations (Paperback)

I found this was very applicable Covey-ese in a spiritual setting. It made religious principles that I feel strongly about, more realistic for day-to-day situations. Although sometimes the advice was a little simplistic, it was generally very well thought out, and realistic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hidden treasure of straight-forward inspiration, May 7, 2002

This review is from: Spiritual Roots of Human Relations (Paperback)

I read this book for the first time back in 1980 when Steven R Covey was not a household name. It helped me to ACT where I had previously only THOUGHT about making changes in my life. I found that for me, it was a life changing event. I read it again in 2001 and it had the same effect. It amazes me that the council and advice offered within would be as applicable today as in 1980. That's the power of this book. It was deeper and wider than imagined and I believe it to be one of the best self-help books of all time when dealing with life in a spiritual realm.
