{"product_id":"book-aj91","title":"The 8th Habit","description":"In the 7 Habits series, international bestselling author Stephen R. Covey showed us how to become effective people. In his long-awaited new book, \u003cem\u003eThe 8th Habit\u003c\/em\u003e, he opens up an entirely new dimension of human potential, and shows us how to achieve greatness in any position and any venue. All of us, Covey says, have within us the means for greatness. To tap into it is a matter of finding the right balance of four human attributes—talent, need, conscience, and passion. At the nexus of these four attributes is what Covey calls \u003cem\u003evoice\u003c\/em\u003e—the unique, personal significance we each possess. Covey exhorts us all to move beyond effectiveness into the realm of greatness—and he shows us how to do so, by engaging our strengths and locating our powerful, individual voices.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Why do we need this new habit? Because we have entered a new era in human history. The world is a profoundly different place than when \u003cem\u003eThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People\u003c\/em\u003e was originally published in 1989. The challenges and complexity we face in our personal lives and relationships, in our families, in our professional lives, and in our organizations are of a different order of magnitude. We enjoy far greater autonomy in all areas of our lives, and along with this freedom comes the expectation that we will manage ourselves, instead of being managed by others. At the same time, we struggle to feel engaged, fulfilled, and passionate. Tapping into the higher reaches of human genius and motivation to find our voice requires a new mindset, a new skill-set, a new tool-set—in short, a whole new habit. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e The 8th Habit\u003c\/em\u003e opens a door into the exciting potential of this new age. Yet the 8th Habit, Covey says, is in itself not new—in fact, it's a timeless part of human beings, but one that has often gone unrealized. It's the voice of the human spirit, and it exists uniquely in each of us. It is the voice of hope, intelligence, resilience, and the limitless human potential to effect positive change in the world. We each have our own voice—our unique personal significance. It is revealed when we face our greatest challenges, and it makes us equal to them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Covey's new book will transform the way we think about ourselves, and about humankind. Just as \u003cem\u003eThe 7 Habits of Highly Effective People\u003c\/em\u003e helped us focus on success, \u003cem\u003eThe 8th Habit\u003c\/em\u003e shows us the way to greatness.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster Audio","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49348101243184,"sku":"BDaj91","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/166429-aj91-Square.jpg?v=1734211194","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-aj91","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
