I purchased this book on audible and after downloading, found out it is only a 1 hour summary! Very disappointed and a huge waste of money!

Good Book - Bad Kindle Version

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

The book itself is great. The kindle version is terrible. I purchased this book for a book club. It doesn't provide page numbers (only that ebook location) It doesn't sync with the chapters of the hard copy. It's missing sections, quizzes, worksheets, etc. I feel like I'm missing out on a significant amount of content. Luckily my book clubbers have been able to keep me updated, but what a waste! Spend the extra money and buy the hard copy. So irritated by this version. The content itself is very interesting and the pieces I've been able to read have really impacted my work and personal life. Very thought provoking. Which is why I struggled to give it low stars. Content = 5 stars. Kindle versioning = 1 star

The kindle version is missing sections of the book. ...

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2016

The kindle version is missing sections of the book. As I was reading there were references to Appendix A for example, and the kindle version has no appendix a. There are also sections that suggested looking at particular pages to look back on, and when I do, the page is not what was indicated it would be. My rating is based in what I paid for but did not receive. I can't use th book to the fullest potential and I don't want to purchase the hardcopy and pay again. It is disappointing that th description doesn't include a arming that parts of th book are not included in the kindle version!!

Everyone should read it - genuinely helpful in many ways, deep, even spiritual, but also totally practical

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

Excellent book. Helps you get perspective on what really matters in your life and therefore apply your focus and concentration on what should be the first priorities. We so often get distracted by worthless rubbish in this day and age - the news media, sports, following singers, or whatever. We also have so many opportunities and so much is right at our fingertips with instant gratification in many areas a true possibility. But as a culture, on the whole, we are more dissatisfied with life and more stressed out than ever before. I believe this is because we do not learn to focus on the most important things in life as we did years ago. This book will help you figure out this dissonance. On top of that, it will give you really useful processes and strategies once you've figured out what the most important things in your life are.

Always nice to have a Kindle version of a Covey book for my phone or tablet. However, the only complaint I have about this book is that despite the 'interactive' tag, it omits a large chunk of the 'interactive' exercises in the original hard/paperback editions, those parts being arguably the best part.

Awesome!

Dr Covey and co authors produced a masterpiece, a thought provoking book, not a quick fix. It led me to think deeply, not just about my time management but also how I'm leading my life.
Success is a journey and it takes preparation, integrity and hard work.
I'm glad I bought this book.
Great book!

The Kindle edition is missing loads of diagrams and worksheets referred to in the text rendering the title virtually useless. Hardcopy of the book is good.
