I have a collection of Stephen Covey tapes from when I was in my twenties (or was in thirties???). From what I can remember, it was great stuff. Outlive sounds like a good general book on improving one's quality of life. Will check it out.
I honestly couldn't stand the Covey audiobook, they edited every pause in his speaking to be shorter and it ended up sounding very incongruent to my ears. I'd look for a new audiobook. Honestly, I think the classes are worth taking. It's timeless advice that can change your life. Outlive is a book that every adult over 30 should read. It introduces the concept of healthspan, which is your quality of life while you live. It's eye-opening. And a big read, I'd suggest breaking it up.
Just checked my library. All copies of the downloadable audiobook are in use and there are 14 holds on 24 copies. Same with the physical book versions. Amazing that a book written almost 35 years ago is still so popular today. As for Outlive... Book - 2023612.68 AttiaBook, 2023.

Totally unrelated, but I saw a little kid running through Sam's Club with that frantic "I can't find my mommy!!!" look on his face. I don't know why, but I desperately wanted to tell him that he could live at the store from now on.
1. Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg 2. Atomic Habit by James Clear - a continuation of POH 3. Boundaries - Henry Cloud 4. Necessary Endings - Henry Cloud- I liked this book better 5. Start with Why- Simon Sinek 6. Outliers - Malcom Gladwell 7. Blink- Malcolm Gladwell 8. How to Win Friends and Influence Others - Dale Carnegie - classic 9. Thou Shall Prosper - Daniel Lapin 10. Give and Take - Adam Grant Any of Gladwell books Jordan Petersons books There’s a bunch more like Stephen Coveys, Andy Andrews, and Zigs books. But the idea is to change the way we think of ourselves, our relationship with world, and the people that we serve.
I've just started the Atomic Habits by J.Clear. It's really the first book of this kind that I tried reading. Usually more interested in history/science stuff. So far it's pretty good.
The Rich dad poor dad book makes you aware of the matrix. Being afraid of the matrix will make you sharpen your skills. Be careful not to read machiavellianism books, you'll take on that self centered toxic personality.
