Story
Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

I think the principles could be more clear.
At first I felt that the principles were too general but I suppose that’s the point.
It did help me but I think the difficulty is in what Stephen talks about as a problem. Getting it all to stick by getting to the root.
The value is in working them yourself and identifying the application in your own life (as with all books like this I suppose, maybe I’m just lazy).
I do feel empowered after reading it though. That’s important

Story
Every ambitious young man and woman would do well to listen to this book; seasoned businessmen and women will recognize something of their own successes and failures in a life that has had as many ups and downs as a turbulent stock market; and wives will see their own husbands in this audio, as well as their own frustrations with the men they love. We can only hope they possess the character of Bew’s wife, Wendy, whose own story leavens this loaf. Astute listeners will deduce that she is the quiet, unassuming anchor that gives this narrative its heartbeat.

As a young Christian man in business I could really relate to this story and it was super insightful. The way the story began really got me hooked and kept me hooked. Though it's a biography and you can't exactly change elements for a story, the presentation made it extremely interesting to listen to. There were certain elements that I wondered why they were in there but looking back those elements just made the story that much more interesting.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I suggest others give it a listen.

This was a great book. Was very interesting and very applicable to life. The lessons are not immediately obvious but once you consider the meaning they are deeply profound.
