Editorial Reviews

Sandra Covey, the wife of personal development pioneer Stephen Covey, offers a pleasing contrast to the incisive logic that frames his thinking on so many aspects of human improvement. She's also a smooth storyteller, with a warm and personal voice, and the stories she delivers help make this a memorable production. Recordings of their seminar comments make up the first part of the program, and the second part features Covey's brother and his wife delivering ideas and stories about how Stephen Covey's Seven Habits can make marriage more rewarding. The theme of this installment in Covey’s series is how to make better choices in the four aspects of a satisfying marriage—commitment, communication, character, and companionship. This is a reflective reminder of what is possible to achieve in a lifelong romantic partnership. T.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
