Hi Alan.
An oversight on my part. Thanks for the clarification.
They dedicate the book to Stephen Covey.

It's more of an in-depth look at habits 1,2,3 and 7 then a reworking of the 7 habits. Worth a read - I read the shorter version they give out on the 5 Choices course. It has some good tips, along with some worthwhile points about having the right mindset.

Hi Ben.
I started it today. Glad to hear about those habits... my personal faves from the 7 Habits canon.

Hi Avrum,
Any further thoughts on the 5 choices? I've been reading the book again and there is some good stuff in it. I particularly like the practical process for making what you want to achieve in your roles and goals concrete and specific.

I think that was the last book I read before crafting my own system. I don't recall finishing the book, and felt it lacked depth and originality - at least compared to 7 Habits.
Since then, I developed my own system, which I continue to use. For the first time since 2002 (when I discovered 7 Habits), I've lost the itch to try new systems and tools. It's a lovely feeling.

@Avrum "Since then, I developed my own system, which I continue to use. For the first time since 2002" What is your own system ? If uou use it since 2002 I guess it is working for you... Could tell us more about it ? Kind regards

Not since 2002 - that was Covey (and then GTD, AF, on and on and on...).
In 2013, I started playing around with an idea (tentatively called: "meaning-making productivity"), starting with electronics but then moving to pen/paper. Appx 9 months ago, I hired a graphic designer to design the daily and project forms.
Once my book is launched (Fall), I'm going to put together a couple of videos demonstrating the system/tool.

I'm sucker for Covey's top-down approach to productivity, so this was an easy purchase. My understanding is that this is the 7 Habits, rebranded/refreshed.
Anyway... thought fans of Covey would appreciate the info.
