He clearly states that he believes in God. Too religious? Irrational? Morality? What book are these people reading? Does the author mention religion? Yes. The only thing annoying in the presentation was that awful little jingle/harmony they played between sections. His voice tone wasn't dreary, was clear and even calming, and I could easily listen to him narrate other of his works. I found Covey's reading to be top-notch though.

It came off as a little preachy in parts and while Covey is free to have one, religion doesn't really need to be in this book and all of these principles are 100% achievable without it.

If you dont want to listen to 13 hours of this, Covey summarizes the content on his website, freely available to read through in about 20 minutes. On some occasions though, I feel he made far to much explanation and the end product could have been a much shorter piece of work while still maintaining its effectiveness. What Covey did do well was arrange the principals into an easy to understand framework and relate it to every day life.

None the less, the principles covered are important life skills and everyone should learn them from somewhere - which may or may not be this book. Maybe my opinion would be different if I read/listened to this when I was younger and still finding my place in the world. I dont think Covey presented anything life changing and as he admits within this book - he didn't actually invent anything. Quite frankly, I wasn't blown away by this book.
