    About this audiobook

    The essential companion workbook to the bestseller The 8th Habit.

    From Stephen R. Covey, bestselling author of The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness, comes the accompanying personal workbook that will help you further realize the power of this new habit. The world has changed dramatically since Covey's classic The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was published. The challenges we all face in our relationships, families, professional lives and communities are of an entirely new order of magnitude. In order to thrive in what Covey calls the new Knowledge Worker Age, we need to build on and move beyond effectiveness—to greatness. Accessing the higher reaches of human genius and motivation in today's reality requires a whole new habit.

    The questionnaires, tests, self-assessments, and other exercises in this workbook provide a hands-on approach to developing the mind-set, skill-set and tool-set for achieving greatness in the Knowledge Worker Age. The 8th Habit will transform the way you think about yourself and your purpose in life, about your organization and about humankind.

      I like everything in this book and always find Covey inspiring, genuine, and profound. Still, the 8th habit doesn't work for me quite like the original 7. I think it's because there is so much more behind it. Covey builds a lot of context around the habit: Find your voice, then inspire others to find their voice." He reveals a whole methodology for doing this, based on a quartet of concepts: Body, Mind, Heart, and Spirit. These areas have analogous ideas in the area of leadership, namely, Modeling, Pathfinding, Aligning, and Empowering.

      really make your mind grow!
    • 4/5
      Good book but not great, repetitive and much larger than needed. Not as important as the 7 habits although it works to take those lessons to others.
    • 1/5
      Never managed to finish this, I think it might be self published, no publisher could ever get through it to decide it was worth publishing. A typical management speak book, some gems and insights but filled with so much other unneccesary gumpf. Give it a miss and read Dickens instead!
    • 4/5
      This audiobook seemed like it wasn't really meant for the audiobook format.Too much of it involved lists and logical sequences that don't translate (for me at least) into the spoken word.Too borrow a term I learned from "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", it was very Aristotlean.
