Synopsis

A “beautiful, inspiring, and important” (Professor Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Prize Laureate) final book from the legendary leadership expert, Stephen R. Covey, internationally bestselling author of the classic The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Stephen R. Covey spent his long and storied career inspiring millions of individuals to make their lives more effective, compassionate, and meaningful. Near the end of his life, Covey felt there was a final component to his work: How do you live your best life no matter your age?

Live Life in Crescendo is Covey’s directive to live life in crescendo, meaning to continually grow in contribution, learning, and influence. In the same way that music builds on previous notes but leaves us anticipating the next note, a life builds on the past but unfolds in the future. The Crescendo Mentality urges you to use whatever you have—your time, talents, skills, resources, gifts, passion, money, influence—to enrich the lives of people around you, including your family, neighborhood, community, and the world.

Cowritten with his daughter, Cynthia Covey Haller, and published posthumously, Live Life in Crescendo is a life-changing and life-affirming book that will “inspire you to dream bigger and bolder” (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again) and befits the generosity and wisdom of the late Stephen R. Covey.

Goodreads review by Daniel

This is Dr Stephen R. Covey's last book. His eldest child, Cynthia, completed the book after Covey died in 2012. The core idea is this: No matter the heights we've achieved to date, our best contribution is always ahead of us. It's the same if we've wasted our lives up to this point. At any age or st......more

Goodreads review by Tim

I think this is a worthy sequel of sorts to the venerable 7 Habits, and addresses a disappointing trend I see in society at large. We should never rest on our laurels and instead continue onward and upward, until "the whistle blows" as it were. I really appreciated the candor of Cynthia in detailing......more

Goodreads review by Anita

Stephen Covey always has a way of packaging great truths in easy to remember phrases that make them easy to put into practice. This book is no exception. I love the premise and the many examples that were used to help see how they can be embodied in your own life. I do know the co-author, and I can......more
