Summary: a contrived piece of garbage
Comment: This book will only help you if you are a complete moron. It's a cheap attempt to leverage the popularity of his father's book, and I can't believe the book buying public is that stupid. Can't you just envision Mr. Covey's staff "helping" young Sean with "his book"? Can you hear Mr Covey calling up Steve Young and asking for a nice review? Just like his father's book, this book will not succeed on it's own merits - it's simply a rehash of the common sense advice that's been around for ages, repackaged with an angle. Besides, if you imagine that any teenager is in a position to give sage advice to anyone, you are an idiot.
Just for the record, the "author's" father - Stephen Covey - took standard self-help fare and skewed it toward the interests of the organization, rather than the personal ambition of the individual. This made it very attractive propaganda for corporations to aim at their employees, so those corporations responded to offers to purchase the book at very cheap, bulk rates for distribution to their employees. That ploy generated very high but very phoney sales numbers that placed the book on "best seller" lists for a long time. Once there, it sold like hotcakes because people just assumed it was good. When sales started to slip, Covey's firm offered bulk quantities to big organizations again, thus managing to keep it on the list for a very long time. Covey himself went on the road full time to promote the book. In other words, the book succeeded because of the marketing, but qualitatively, it rates zero stars. Gee, Steve, when does your baby plan to come out with the colorful talking version for toddlers? This book, and it's predeceasor, demonstrate just how easy it is to make a fortune based on the gullibility of the average person.

Summary: Helpful
Comment: The only reason someone would dislike this book is probably because they were forced to read it, so they didnt give it a chance. It gives alot of personal stories that has actually happened to the author- and also alot of cute and funny little stories that you can take into consideration. It gives reasons to be happy and optimistic, and gives you a whole different perspective on things.
I've noticed a good change in me and all my friends who have read this- for example- if your late for work/school/activities, you usually get frustrated when that one granny pulls in front of you and goes 1 mile per hour. But instead of getting frustrated- I learned that maybe that granny just broke her hip (or something) and is the only person in her household who could drive to the hospital, and cant go fast. And whats an extra 2 minutes late? late is late.
ANYWHO this is a great book and I've really enjoyed being happy because of it. READ AND SUCCED!!!!

Summary: A Message for the Angry Teens
Comment: I was a rebellious teenager, and was positive I knew everything. I did not want to be told what to do, what to read, where to go, or what time to come home.
Anyone who wants to get somewhere in life learns from the wisdom of others, as well as our own painful mistakes.
Take whatever good you can find out of this book and use it to feel better about yourself, and make your future brighter.
If something doesn't apply, just forget about it. If you find just ONE thing that will make a positive difference in your life, then it is worth it.
