About this listen
Rather than focusing on time and things, First Things First emphasizes relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasizes effectiveness. It tells us why we feel a gap between how we spend our time and what's deeply important to us; how focusing on efficiency and control increases the gap instead of closing it; how to determine if what you're doing is really important, or only urgent; how to overcome the tremendous gravity of habit; how to put people ahead of schedules; and how to lead your life, not just manage your time.
Offering a principle-centered approach and the wisdom and insight that made The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a #1 best seller, First Things First empowers listeners to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding, and balanced lives.

Stephen R. Covey believed there were only two ways to live: a life of primary greatness or a life of secondary greatness. Through his classic books and seminars, he taught that the intrinsic rewards of primary greatness - integrity, responsibility, and meaningful contribution - far outweighed the superficial rewards of secondary greatness - money, popularity, and the self-absorbed, pleasure-ridden life that some people consider "success".

Most of us live with the stubborn idea that we'll always have tomorrow to do our most important and valuable work. We fill our days with frantic activity, bouncing from task to task, scrambling to make deadlines and chase the next promotion. But by the end of each day we're often left asking ourselves "did the work I do today really matter?" We feel the ticking of the clock, but we're stuck in first gear, unsure of the path forward and without a road map to guide us.

Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

Stephen R. Covey believed there were only two ways to live: a life of primary greatness or a life of secondary greatness. Through his classic books and seminars, he taught that the intrinsic rewards of primary greatness - integrity, responsibility, and meaningful contribution - far outweighed the superficial rewards of secondary greatness - money, popularity, and the self-absorbed, pleasure-ridden life that some people consider "success".

The Devil ensnares and controls our minds so we are unable to achieve our personal goals. Hill went so far as to interview the Devil, himself, exploring the innermost depths of the psychology of motivation to understand why so many individuals, including himself, let fear, procrastination, anger and jealousy prevent us from realizing our full potential. The resulting confession from the Devil made this book so controversial as to remain unpublished for over 70 years. Napoleon Hill lays out the exact nature of the power by which the Devil disarms human beings.

E.M. Gray once observed, "The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don't like to do. They don't like doing them either necessarily. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose." This is the essence of Habit 3. You'll learn a new mindset of examining how you spend your time, and you'll learn how to focus your efforts in ways that create greater success both professionally and personally.

Definitely abridged
I was sad that this was not the full book, but it was what I needed/wanted. I have the book and have read it a couple times and have been applying the principles I learned through it for 6 years. It has made a great impact on my life. It is hard for me to make time to review the book as often as I would wish so I bought this with a desire to listen and review it while cleaning. It has and will work great for that purpose. I gave the story 3 stars because it was so shortened. I would have preferred to have the full book, but it works great for my intentions. If you have not read the book, I would recommend that you get this either after reading the book (for similar purposes as mine) or as an opportunity to find out what it's all about before purchasing the book and taking the time to read it. I am a homemaker and this book and what it teaches has really helped me in putting the first things first in my life and finding joy and happiness in a role that can be a bit overwhelming:)

I like the idea of having a life mission & implementing it in our daily lives. I think however that we should ask each woman what her purpose/passion/goal in life is rather than assuming that she should be happy giving birth to kids and cleaning the house. For example, sometimes men could help us more, so we can do other great things for humanity.
