The 7 Habits Foundational Principles
FranklinCovey · 2025
🎙 Narrated by L. J. Ganser and Stephen R. Covey
72/100
👍 Worth It
This is Covey's core material distilled down, and having Covey himself on parts of the recording gives it a lecture-hall energy a straight readthrough wouldn't have. It's abridged rather than the full book, so don't expect comprehensive depth, but the narration mix of a pro voice and the author's own is a genuinely nice listen.

🎙 Narration: good Hybrid performance — L. J. Ganser plus Stephen Covey himself in live-audience segments — gives it an engaging lecture quality.
