Primary Greatness: The 12 Levers of Success

From Stephen R. Covey - the late, legendary author of <i>The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People</i> - a new set of rules for achieving a happy and fulfilling life of primary greatness.<br><br>Many of us are hurting. We have chronic problems, dissatisfactions, and disappointments. Although we generally make it through the day, a lot of us feel overwhelmed by burdens we carry. We try to &quot;lift the load of life&quot; each day and sometimes it's just too much. The idea of living a &quot;great life&quot; seems a distant dream.<br> <br>Too often, however, we have the wrong idea of what a great life is. We think if only we had enough money, enough leisure, enough good looks or popularity, everything would be great. If that's what makes for a great life, no wonder so many of us feel so weighed down by the demands of everyday living.<br> <br>Stephen R. Covey believed there were only two ways to live: a life of primary greatness or a life of secondary greatness. Through his classic books and seminars, he taught that the intrinsic rewards of primary greatness - integrity, responsibility, and meaningful contribution - far outweighed the superficial rewards of secondary greatness - money, popularity, and the self-absorbed, pleasure-ridden life that some people consider &quot;success.&quot;<br> <br>Dr. Stephen R. Covey's teachings are beloved and have inspired countless readers and leaders. <i>Primary Greatness</i> once again delivers classic Covey wisdom in a compact and digestible form. In this posthumous work, Covey lays out clearly the 12 levers of success that will lead to a life of primary greatness: Integrity, Contribution, Priority, Sacrifice, Service, Responsibility, Loyalty, Reciprocity, Diversity, Learning, Teaching, and Renewal. For the first time, Covey defines each of these twelve qualities and how they provide the leverage to make your daily life truly &quot;great.&quot;
