This one was pretty good, in the realm of self-help. I had at one time, delved into Dale Carnegie's 'How to Make Friends and Influence People', but I just didn't see myself ever being Dale's kind of guy. Covey denounces Carnegie's 'personality ethic' in favor of a character-focused self image. He explains the principles that make people truly valuable to one another.
I think self-help writers spend too much time telling stories of how their methods work, when one can never be too sure until they try it for themselves. Still I thought this book made a ton of good points. If you want to have constructive, synergistic, meaningful relationships with others, but don't know how, then I strongly recommend this book.
