I loved listening to this as audio-book again and again. The narrators are very pleasant and familiar. Steven R. Covey's introduction is similarly pleasant.

I only wish that the message had penetrated me deeply enough that their advice and wisdom had become embedded in my daily life.

So great. Wow. I learned a lot, took notes...I loved the way that this book was organized, and loved how it was written. Breaking down Time, money, family, work and wisdom...there was plenty to take in. I loved the details on balance, and 'navigational intelligence.' I just checked this out from the library, but I will purchase this and recommend it to others. Great reference to come back to, as we are always learning and needing different things at different times of life.

I only came across this book via S Coveys work, and i'll say it was an 'ok' and good read..

i only picked up a copy because of backing, forward and recommendation and covey behind it..however i prefer his work better. But this is a good reminder about sound lifes principles and ideas that we typically never give a 2nd thought to...yet that wisdom can have a profound effect on our daily lives and circumstances

To Our Continued Success!

Enjoyed the conversation between the couple. Enjoyable book with good advice and tips including many stories. Much of it was general and not very groundbreaking, hence the 3 stars. But great principles and foundation for the book.

There is nothing new in the concepts spoken of in this book. It just seems like a compilation of already known fundamentals . The material is light . The style of narration is conversational instead of a monologue which is a plus point .

This book is very useful for us to make a balance to work, Family, Time, and Moeny. I think that if we make our life under our control. We will feel more happy and more freedom.
