Summary

Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has inspired millions. Today's generation will be newly inspired by Covey's An Effective Life, a new approach to practicing the motivating principles taught by one of the greatest teachers of all time.

An Effective Life shares original new perspectives on life and self-evaluation, striking infographics, and inspirational quotes in a fresh new package designed for the generation early in their careers and for those long-time Covey admirers who seek to improve their work and personal lives based on principles. You'll also find a Personal Journal to help you process the insights you've gleaned from the book. This book is more than an inspiration, it is an introduction to important principles needed to live an effective life.

Ok time pass listening

It’s an easy listening of a series of quotes basically arranged around the concept of learning from nature. It’s ok.

I found it very nice to listen to but there's no actual instructions in it to live by. only quotes and some Gogd advice. worth the 50 minutes though

great content, narration is so so

Stephen Covey is a stalwart of the self-help world so this is a book full of good old-fashioned advice, no gimmicks. Don't let the narration cat the very start put you off as is not robot-esq for long. As it's a short read is recommend it to anyone interested in self-help. It was also included in the subscription so was effectively free
