Summary: A necessary read in this agitated times
Review: In our days, the society's pressure for obtaining more and more material things has made us forget about the really important things. We don't have time for our most loved beings, and we always have something "urgent" to do. Stephen Covey in this audio-cassette, show us that this kind of conduct is product of not hearing our inner voice, not following our principles. Sure, money is important but how many people, at th e ime they die would like to be more time at the office? Not a lot. When in an experiment, people is asked what would they do if they know they are going to die in six months, the most common response is to be more time with the loved ones. With the techniques that the author describe in his book, you will be able to create "time zones" that would help you to stay focused in the most important things of your social, spiritual, mental and physical dimensions, giving you a better quality of life. Another book that I recommend you, related with this theme of time management is: "Time Shifting, creating more time to enjoy your life" by Stephan Rechtschaffen.

Summary: Three authors, 1 CD - Good Highlights
Review: Some people on the reviews complained about the book not just being Covey talking...but if you notice the book is written by three people (yeah, Amazon only shows 2, but I have the book in front of me) The CD is a good highlight to explaining the basics to the First Things First principles. The cd says to get the book for using the meat and potatoes of the book...BUT there is also a 3 Disc set out there which is Unabriged and tells it all (for some reason I can't find it on Amazon...but have found it in searching around the net) So if you want the basics to remind yourself of what you are doing (Review regularly to make it a part of your life is a common self improvement strategy) is quicker than re-reading the book over and over... especially when given the gift of traffic to slow down and enjoy the CD.

Summary: Beyond inspiring change to enpowering change
Review: Stephen R Covey is more than an inspirational writer. Covey empowers the reader with techniques to improve lifestyle habits. His wisdom allows the reader to regain control of his life. Instead of being a slave to everyone else's priorities, you become faithful to your own aspirations and priorities. This book has given me the courage to examine my life to ensure that I am on the path of life that I want to be on instead of the path that my life dictates. Anyone who struggles with not having enough time for the things that really matter should read this book. It will give you the gift of discovering where the time for those "First things" are.
