Title : The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
Author : Stephen R. Covey
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : 9th Habit - Be Concise and Get to the Point

I've been through the 7 Habits and First Things First, now I'm on the 8th Habit. Boy#8212;is this dull! This is mostly a re-hash of the 7 Habits with more of a focus towards teams, leadership and businesses. As someone who works mostly on my own and not in a team, this book did not seem overly relevant to those in a similar position.

There are a few new ideas in here but not many. The short films are a nice touch which helps to break things up a little. I listened to this while out walking so couldn't just stop and watch them when instructed.

Ironically for a book about 'finding your voice,' I found Mr Covey's voice extremely dull, lifeless and uninspiring#8212;not a patch on Tony Robbins' level of excitement#8212;I often felt myself wandering off into a daydream while listening and then having to rewind to see if I had missed any astounding revelation (which for the most part, I had not).

A manual for greatness, this is not#8212;a cure for insomnia, quite possibly.

Summary : Might change your life #8211; or sit on the shelf

This is a powerful guide to self-improvement. The "habits" are common-sense: be proactive, or "seek first to understand, then to be understood". The writing is clear, presenting each habit in a way which is easy to apply to oneself. If you're looking for a self-help guide to living a more focused, targeted life, you can hardly do better than this.

The downside is that this is a massive, densely-written book. Just reading it, let alone internalising and acting on it, is a major project. Many readers will dip into it; lose interest; and let it gather dust on the shelf.

Summary: excellent self-improvement guide, won't work for everyone.

Title : Making Your Thoughts Work for You
Author : Wayne W. Dyer
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Uplifting and life changing stuff!

I completly recommend this four cd set to anyone and everyone!

I have had phobias and depression for years which have completly ruled my life and have read many self help books and seen many therapists, but listening to this CD set once has completly changed my mindset and outlook on life! Through Dr.Wayne's inspiriational and spiritual talking and Byron Katie's NLP and questioning your thoughts work, I really feel a new beginning in my life has begun! I was left feeling uplifted,calm and confident and I feel now that I can begin to get my life back on track and am very exited about doing so!

The CDs' are recordings of a live seminar where Dr. Wayne is giving a very inspirational talk on balance and living your true life path to thousands of people live, and then later on Byron Katie takes over and gets the audience to fill in some worksheets and gets three stressed and upset people up from the audience, works with them and shows how to realise the problem situation, deal with it and embrace it by realsing the part you are playing in it and then how to change your view of it and how you deal with it. They all left happy, uplifted and relaxed!
Then Dr. Wayne talks some more and they both take questions from the audience.

I thouroughly recommend this to anyone, stressed, anxious, depressed or just wanting to attain some new wisdom.

If you open your mind to it,it can be life changing stuff! :-)

Summary : A number of years

I read this book a number of years ago as part of a semester long class with it as the main teaching tool. From what I remember it provides good insights into time management, prioritizing tasks and breaking down a goal into bite size pieces so that a person isn't overwhelmed by the size of what needs to be done.
