Quicklet on Stephen Covey's First Things First by Kelli Dunham Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK First Things First by Stephen R Covey is New York Times Bestseller time management guide developed using Covey's principles of value-driven decision making originally set forth in the blockbuster The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The title of the book comes from the summary of the third habit, Keep First Things First, that is, make sure the most important things in your life are actually your highest priority. In the introduction, Covey describes the genesis of First Things First in this way: through our work at the Covey Leadership Center, we've been in contact with many people from around the world and we're constantly impressed with what they represent. They're active, hard-working, competent, caring people dedicated to making a difference. Yet these people consistently tell us of the tremendous struggle they face daily while trying to put first things first in their lives. MEET THE AUTHOR Kelli Dunham (kellidunham.com) is a registered nurse and author of four books of nonfiction, including The Boys Body Book and the Girls Body Book (both from Applesauce Press) and How to Survive and Maybe Even Love Nursing School (FA Davis) an American Journal of Nursing 2005 Book of the Year. She is also a stand up comic and has been seen on Showtime, the Discovery Channel and the occasional livestock auction. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK For many of us, theres a gap between the compass and the clock-between whats deeply important to us and how we spend our time. And this gap is not closed by traditional time management approach of doing more things faster. In fact, many of us find that increasing our speed only makes things worse. In How Many People On Their Deathbed Wish They'd Spent More Time At The Office were introduced to the guiding concept of First Things First,: the difference between making daily decisions based on the clock versus making daily decisions based on the compass. The clock, Covey explains, represents what we do and how we manage our time. Things like schedules, goals, meetings, items that generally get written on to-do lists: that's what First Things First calls clock items.

Quicklet on Stephen R. Covey's The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness (CliffsNotes-like Book Summary) by Joseph Taglieri Pdf

ABOUT THE BOOK Published in 2004, Stephen R. Covey’s The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness builds upon the his widely read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People that was published 15 years earlier. The author expands his philosophy for being effective and successful in professional and personal endeavors to crossing the threshold into the realm of genius and steadfast piece of mind. The 8th Habit was designed to be a guide for today’s “knowledge-worker society,” which has a distinct set of dilemmas and social nuances with which industrial societies of years past did not have to contend. The book’s front flap boils down the core concept “The crucial challenge of our world today is this: to find our voice and inspire others to find theirs. It is what Covey calls the 8th Habit.” This lofty philosophical world view applies to individuals, organizations, and the broader scope of modern humanity. As a New York Times book reviewer noted about Covey, “His premise is that most of us are battling to feel engaged and fulfilled. To achieve what we seek, we must find our ‘voice,’ a concept that has four components.” The all-important voice that serves as Covey’s conceptual cornerstone is made up of talent, passion, need, and conscience. MEET THE AUTHOR Joe Taglieri is a freelance journalist and musician (drum set and Latin percussion instruments) in Los Angeles. He has written on a range of subjects for a variety of publications since the 1990s. Taglieri's forte is writing about governmental and economic issues, and he has a keen interest in sports and the arts, most notably music, television and film. He holds a degree in print journalism from the University of Southern California and has studied, taught and performed via the drum set for nearly 25 years and has done the same with Latin percussion instruments such as conga and bongo drums, cajón and timbales for more than 15 years. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK “The Pain” analyzed in this chapter refers to the frustration, confusion, lack of direction, and confidence, pressure, and emptiness that many professional people feel in today’s fast-paced, technology-driven workplace. Toward remedying these emotional and psychological ills, Covey provides his first explanation of the antidote that forms the crux of The 8th Habit: finding one’s voice. The chapter includes a diagram and written explanation that describes the “voice” as “unique personal significance.” It is at the central connecting point of a person’s passions and talents fulfilling a particular need presented by the world at large backed by the individual’s conscience, which Covey describes as “that still, small voice within that assures you of what is right and that prompts you to actually do it.”

Quicklet on Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families (CliffsNotes-like Book Summary) by Sheri Franklin Pdf

Quicklets: Your Reading Sidekick! This Hyperink Quicklet includes an overall summary, chapter commentary, key characters, literary themes, fun trivia, and recommended related readings. ABOUT THE BOOK “I am convinced that if we as a society work diligently in every other area of life and neglect the family, it would be analogous to straightening deck chairs on the Titanic.” - Dr. Covey The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families takes the 7 Habits he teaches in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and applies them to the family. After many clients and others that the author knew approached him about how the 7 Habits would play in the family environment, he decided to create this book. This edition of the 7 Habits became a New York Times bestseller in 1997, when it was published. According to Dr. Covey’s biography, it continues to be the number one hardcover book on the family. (The 3rd Alternative Bio) Dr. Covey shares in a personal message at the beginning of the book that it was difficult for him to decide whether or not to include all of the stories and experiences from his own family that he was considering. He battled with this because he didn’t want to come across as a know-it-all, but the author also knew what had truly worked first hand for them and wanted to share that truth with the world. Much of the book has stories from his wife, including a foreward from her, and from their nine children. MEET THE AUTHOR Sheri Franklin has been writing for 27 years, blessed with inspirational influence that pours into her pen. Sheri is a trained opera singer. She will stare at paintings for hours and wonder what a beautiful rock would taste like if she ate it. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Pilots use a flight plan for every flight they have scheduled. However, due to weather, other planes flying in the area, information from traffic control towers, and even faulty equipment, the pilots must deviate off course much of the time - in fact, ninety percent of the time. However, this does not change the original flight plan, which they consistently refer to and return to as soon as conditions permit. This theme is used throughout the book to show how having a vision in mind with one’s family is important, but it is also crucial to remember that one must remember that much that life will throw our way will interfere with our goal. Dr. Covey explores how life has changed in the thirty years prior to when this edition of 7 Habits was published, in the 90’s with crime, divorce, health problems, scholastic achievement, single family homes, teen suicide and sexually transmitted diseases have all increased. He gives the 7 Habits and the additional tools in the book as the solution to society’s ills and how to protect your family from becoming a victim to them... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Technology develops and advances at increasingly rapid rates, and the Internet makes limitless stores of information available at the worlds fingertips.

The Fairy-faith in Celtic Countries by Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz Pdf

In this study, which is first of all a folk-lore study, we pursue principally an anthropo-psychological method of interpreting the Celtic belief in fairies, though we do not hesitate now and then to call in the aid of philology; and we make good use of the evidence offered by mythologies, religions, metaphysics, and physical sciences.
