Get listening to the inspiring titles below to jumpstart your motivational journey with exercises and advice to get you living your best life and reaching all your goals. The reader for this book is the author. He should be using tone and intonation to illustrate a new topic is starting. That is not the desired effect of purchasing an audiobook.

Good audio book but the reader has a whistle to his voice after most words. It reminds me of the old man from family guy highkey. You can also hear him breathe heavily as he reads so it kinda makes taking the book seriously more difficult. Sounds like my grandpa reading it with the whistle and heavy breaths. This was not an easy listen by any means, but after Listening to the Program About 8 times.

It has paid out Many times over, In practicing these principles in daily life. Too religious? What book are these people reading? Does the author mention religion? He clearly states that he believes in God.

That takes up approximately 2 sentences in the entire book though he says a little more in the afterword. He also mentions that all enduring religions AS WELL AS all enduring philosophical systems agree on certain principles of human maturity and interaction, and those are the principles he bases the book on.

Because that's by far the primary principle in the book. Now, I guess you could say some parts talk about morality, but not in the sense of "you must love your neighbor" or whatever.

And yes, the part about being honest could be seen as morality, but considering the whole point is that honesty is a requirement for having people trust you, it strikes me that many of these negative reviews may be written by people who wanted a quick fix, a set of numerical steps on how to be successful.

But that is not what this book is about. It all has to come from within -- that is, your character, who you are. There's nothing moral about that. There's nothing religious about that. But there's also nothing easy about it. This book is work. Lifelong work. And a lot of people simply are not ready for the implications. The first time I read it I didn't realize how far away from the objective I was.

But as I've grown and reread the book, I've discovered how deep it goes. Of course, none of this is scientific. None of it is rational. That isn't the point. We aren't solving sudoku or splitting atoms. We are dealing with human emotions, and there's nothing rational about emotions. But there can be a solid approach to controlling our lives, and that's what this book is all about.

I just wish they'd hired a professional to read it. I really did not expect to like this book. I generally find the self help genre weak and I expected this title to be one more christian based positive thinking book.

There is a tiny bit of faith-based stuff in the afterward, but it strives to be any-god-will-do. Mostly it is detailed, ordered, steps to, over time, improve your effectiveness. It is more realistic than most self-help books and does not promise a quick fix, or riches, or power, it instead suggests an effective pattern for somewhat steady improvement. This system goes beyond having a "open mindset" to having an "abundance mindset".

This does not mean an abundance of stuff, but noticing that many situations are not zero-sum, and that win-win net-positive situations are often, if not almost always, possible.

Of course doing all the things the author suggests is non-trivial, but they are generally good suggestions for making progress once you are committed to change. The writing and narration is quite clear, folksy, and pleasant, and far from the exuberance of some books in this genre. Some may find the folksiness a bit slow and boring, try speeding it up.

BTW - some reviews mention chapter ordering issues that seem to have been fixed. This is one of my top ten books of all time for lifelong contemplation. Key themes of Proactivity; Setting and following priorities; Re-scripting according to principles; Win-Win; Listening to understand others; Synergy; and Renewal are fundamental, timeless and universal. Covey's approach is unequalled in breadth and depth, while being entirely accessible to any human being. Everything he writes complements everything I've learned in life, while laboring to uproot any weeds that have grown in my internal garden.

Having Dr. Covey read the material to me personally The result is I end up hearing the material over and over, provoking thoughts and contemplations about where I am in life, where I want to go, and what I need to do to get there. I expect the process to last about six months.

My goal from the reading: A complete paradigm re-adjustment for life. This book has my highest recommendation for any person anywhere. If you really want to change your life for the better, read this book. I would suggest not listening to this in the car, but in the quiet of your home and make notes as you do. You will truly change the way you go through life and the way you understand other people. This book provides excellent insights into dealing with others through introspection.

It touches on Victor Frankel and others who provide examples of how to turn adversity into assets. This book is not a traditional self help book, but a companion to guide the listener into ones self. Sadly this book is contrarian to a lot of what goes on in our society. Thus I constantly have to "try" to practice these principles. But the trying is worth it. I have used this book as a standard for turning around the cultures of two manufacturing plants after I was hired from the outside.

Those turn-arounds were only accomplished because the principles in this book work and because, if patiently applied, they give a management team a common vocabularly for they way they treat each other and their associates. My only function was to act as catalyst and insist that these principles be practiced. After a couple of years, in both cases the stress levels were way down, the morale was way up, and the performance was beyond anything known before and certainly beyond expectation.

It's a book to listen to, to absorb, and to go back to over and over again. It's tough to be a perfect practitioner. One can only read and try The material is good, but it's hard to follow because of the poor narrator.

I would recommend this book, if it had a different narrator. You really have to listen to get the info. Not a book you can easily absorb. I have no idea how this book became a classic bestseller.

I also have no idea why I am in the minority in this opinion. It's rare that I feel negatively towards a well regarded book, but it wouldn't be fair if I kept my opinion on "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" to myself.

I'll start with the title. As others have noted, it implies there was underlying research carried out by Covey. Did Covey first define what a highly effective person is, gather a large set of people who fit the definition, and search for what habits they had in common? He came up with an arbitrary set of reasonable values which he believes constitute a decent and well-balanced person, and artificially coerces them into a coherent ideology.

Note I said "values". What Covey lists can hardly be called "habits" in any behavioural sense of the word. If the book's title was "Seven values for becoming well-balanced" that would have gained the book one full star in my opinion, up to three. I do believe that Covey's advice is good, but I find it hard to imagine how it is deserving of such praise. I can only imagine that a society in which «Put first things first» "habit" 3 , «Think win-win» "habit" 4 and «Seek first to understand, then to be understood» "habit" 5 are considered ground-breaking ideas is a deeply damaged one.

Maybe that was the case in the early s, or in American business culture. Still, it means that in the best case scenario this book has either not aged well in 25 years or is aimed specifically at people living a highly toxic idea of what it means to be successful. There are very few examples of application.

When they are fictitious they are are caricaturesque, such as a father trying to first understand his son's disappointment with school rather than berating him, or a family conflict in which a holiday the dad planned for ages clashes with the mum's wish to visit her ailing mother.

When the examples are purportedly based on real-life, they become so vague as to hand-waving that could be reduced to «This was a bad situation. Then my "habits" were applied, with no details. This will help many beginners to achieve success in their life. First of all thank you so much for this wonderful book. I am reading it in iphone, they are asking me for a pdf owner password if I want to highlight sentences in the book.

Could you please help me with that? Reffered to this book by Robert Kiyosaki through his famous book Rich dad Poor dad …so I believe its a great one thus why I will go for it day and night.

The first step toward building wealth lies in the mindset of managing risks instead of avoiding them. Another idea is to pay yourself first each month. Take the portion of your salary you want to spend on stocks or your financial education, invest it, and pay your bills afterward.

Use your money to acquire assets instead of liabilities. Assets are stocks, bonds, real estate that you rent out, royalties for example from music and anything that generates money and increases in value over time.

Liabilities can be cars with monthly payments, a house with a mortgage, and of course debt. Anything that takes money out of your pocket each month is a liability. In this case, your job is what pays the bills and your business is what makes you wealthy. Build your business on the side and use it to invest in assets until your assets eventually become the main source of your income.

The most important thing is that you start today. You are your own biggest asset, so the first thing you should put some money into is yourself. I read the book a year ago and I loved it. Audio Summary Listen to the audio of this summary with a free reading.
