Summary
Rather than focusing on time and things, First Things First emphasizes relationships and results. And instead of efficiency, this new approach emphasizes effectiveness. It tells us why we feel a gap between how we spend our time and what's deeply important to us; how focusing on efficiency and control increases the gap instead of closing it; how to determine if what you're doing is really important, or only urgent; how to overcome the tremendous gravity of habit; how to put people ahead of schedules; and how to lead your life, not just manage your time.
Offering a principle-centered approach and the wisdom and insight that made The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a #1 best-seller, First Things First empowers listeners to define what is truly important; to accomplish worthwhile goals; and to lead rich, rewarding, and balanced lives.

Great stuff.
Best philosophical and practical self management book on the planet. This audio version a bit short but still valuable.

Best book for life management
Its a brilliant book. Its message came across better in the form of an audio book read by authors themselves. The book has profound wisdom about our modern day lives, and pinpoints where thongs are going wrong. Life changing.

Good book
I see that it just framed some concepts into what being called a framework, it's nice as a morning tea, overall I would search for more deep details about the how and different techniques and examples

utter tosh.
There is nothing useful in this book. It is no more than drivel. The author speaks for the sake of speaking. It is a complete waste of money.

Short changed
I love Covey's work having enjoyed the 7 habits book and wanted to find out more. This title should basically be an introduction for that book as it covers the same content in a brief way. Not value for money for someone who already has the 7 habits.

Clear, informative & helpful.
I came to this book having lost focus at work, needing advice and inspiration and finding it. It's clear and informative with good explanation of the rationale that underpins it. I would recommend this book highly.
