Living the 7 Habits

Stephen R. Covey · 1995
🎙 Narrated by Stephen R. Covey (self-narrated)
71/100
👍 Worth It

A nice companion to the original — real stories of people putting the 7 Habits to work, which makes the framework feel concrete instead of abstract. It's abridged, so you're not getting everything from the print edition, and there's a lot less independent commentary to draw on than the flagship book. Covey's own narration keeps that personal, inspirational tone going and is worth the listen for existing fans.

▶ Listen to a sample

🎙 Narration: good Author-narrated, adding a personal touch; abridged format, so it omits some stories found in the print edition.
