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.

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.

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

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

Everyone should be made to listen to this.
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes definitely. This should mandatory reading/listening for everyone caught up on the daily hamster wheel of life, running at a hundred miles an hour and forgetting what life is really all about.
What did you like best about this story?
The relaxing tone of the author/narrator and his ability to make one think very quickly of the things that give meaning to our personal journey of life.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances? How does this one compare?
All are highly enjoyable. It is best to be somewhat relaxed when listening otherwise the speed of delivery may be frustrating.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It often made me smile when asked to think of the things that are important in my life.

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.

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.
