The Wisdom and Teachings of Stephen R. Covey

Starting in 1989 with the runaway success of THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE, Stephen Covey became a personal growth giant who inspired millions and paved the way for many authors who followed. Jesse Boggs narrates this collection of Covey's wisdom with apt reverence and an impressive grasp of his sensibilities and contribution to the human-potential movement. Boggs deftly underplays the illustrative student-teacher dialogues and sounds equally smooth and effective delivering Covey's didactic explanations of principles like accountability, synergy, and vision. Boggs is never too dramatic or self-conscious, even when working with the aphoristic segments of this seminal work. With musical interludes introducing the 17 principles selected for the program, this is a marvelous production that personal growth fans will never tire of hearing. T.W.
