This audiobook was read by the author in front of a live audience. At humerous moments, you can hear the audience laugh. Covey is an authoritative speaker. He talks naturally as one familiar and knowledgeable in the subject.The message that win-win is not only possible but the best policy resonates well with me. This is what I want to hear actually, but the fact that Covey is so authoritative reassures me. He explains why win-win works better than win-lose or lose-win and provides simple but interesting stories to illustrate this phenomenon.This is a short CD and one I'd like to listen to many times for the inspirational value. The idea of win-win makes sense but we can lose the sense of it when we witness people succeeding in the short term through win-lose actions (taking advantage of others, particularly those in a weaker or vulnerable position).Over time, one's reputation is worth a lot. When one strives to make sure both parties to a deal, transaction or relationship benefit, one builds a better future for oneself. I see this in many aspects of life. Consider the job market for example. It's a lot easier to find a job if you've build up a good reputation.However, as with all positive messages, it's necessary to expose oneself frequently just because the daily injustices of life can make a person insecure and cynical. That's why I plan to listen to this audiobook many more times.
