I don't know how much I buy into all of this guy's suppositions about how we should order our lives. But it's an easy read. He seems a little full of himself.
The book is a great read for the person that wants to get focused on a life balance. If you use he princples here in the book and give it a little time it will help.
When I began reading Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People," I had no idea that my perspective on life would change so drastically. The habits advocated by Stephen Covey have profoundly impacted my life. I sincerely believe that this book should be read by anyone who truly desires to be effective in their family, friendships, business, and life in general. I highly recommend this read.
In my efforts to be HIGHLY EFFECTIVE, I wanted a crash course, to help me reinforce them, and this was perfect for short road trips. I do not know what I would have followed it as well, or gotten much out of it, if I had not already read the original book, however. It does not not go into depth in the same way the the book does, but it is a very good overview.
I liked this book because of the universality of it: Anyone, anywhere could essentially change their attitudes and lives (in different ways) after reading it. Most of this is familiar information, but the way Mr. Covey presented it proved to be helpful for me. The effect I found most relevant was that after reading, I could relate the habits to many things in my daily life, and I feel that my thoughts were slightly skewed to reveal better ideas, a more postive outlook, and an overall sense of accomplishment.
