few, have been incorporated into almost every culture around the world.

success. This book covers Stephen Covey’s most impactful topics: time
management, success, leadership – including principle-centered
leadership – all of The 7 Habits of Highly
Effective People, love and family. This powerful
collection is a lasting tribute to the luminary that will be missed by

“THE WISDOM AND TEACHINGS OF STEPHEN R. COVEY is a
collection of my father’s most memorable and important teachings, all
