Product Description
Learn to do what you love and love what you do with The 8th Habit, the long awaited follow up to Stephen R. Covey's #1 best-selling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Covey believes there is a great yearning, in both individuals and organizations, to discover their true "voice," to matter, to make a difference, to find greatness. The 8th Habit can help you acquire a new mindset and the tools—a new habit—to find your voice and your passion. When you do that, you feel more fulfilled and engaged with the world around you and, consequently, with your role in that world.

 Extremely Disappointed May 12, 2008
Z. Jaff (Berkshire,UK)
I am only rating this book 1 because there is no zero rating.
I have read and enjoyed the 7 habits and First Things First; however this book one ways or another is repeat of same concepts and materials in the 7 Habits book.
Way too long, badly written and too many irrelevant details. In brief I think it's a new many making attempt by S. Covey.

Good summary of the book. Return to the road after years of read the first Covey book.
 Excellent book on CD April 24, 2008
Ran Saki (Las Vegas, NV)
This audio book was great. I needed to read this book for work and since I'm pressed with time I thought getting it on CD would be great. I would play it in the car while I'm driving to work. I would also listen and read along with it before I go to sleep. I would definitely by another audio CD again.
 Discover the importance of finding your purpose April 18, 2008
Bernie L. Malonson (Tucson, AZ)
You may think that the 8th Habit is simply a marketing ploy to wring more money out of a society desparate for someone to show them the way.
That is what I thought when I first heard of the 8th Habit. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was more than that.
The 8th Habit is a philosophical mindset focusing externally on service and how one can serve ones own inner needs by serving the needs of others.
It is a message thousands of years old, whoever desires to lead should be the one of who serves the most. It is a message many modern companies with their focus on profits would do well to heed, especially in an economic downturn.
The story is full of anectdotes of men and women with humble beginnings who became great by putting the needs of others before their own.
A considerable amount of time is spent on the stories of Anwar Sadat and Gandhi, men who paid the ultimate sacrifice, with their lives.
Not the easiest of reads, and if possible, listening to the audio edition can make things easier.
Recommended.
Cheers!

I can't recommend this book to anyone.
I was completely disappointed with it.
After "The 7 Habits" and "First Things First" this was a real let down.
I feel the publishers probably goaded the author to finish this and put it out so they could make money on his reputation.
