Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
7 Habits of Highly Effective Families
Stephen R. Covey · 2012
🎙 Narrated by Stephen R. Covey (author-narrated)
85/100
👍 Worth It
Covey brings the same rigor that made the original 7 Habits a phenomenon into family life, and drawing on his own experience raising nine kids gives it real lived-in credibility — this is exactly the kind of values-driven, faith-friendly family content that holds up. Strong endorsements from respected parenting voices back it up, and hearing Covey narrate his own family stories makes the listen genuinely worth it.
