Book Review – Everyday Greatness by Stephen R. Covey

December 07, 2009 By: Elmer Category: Book Reviews

Everyday Greatness is a compilation of short stories and quotes that had been originally published by Readers Digest.  Every Greatness not only includes the Readers Digest stories and quotes but also commentaries by Stephen R. Covey.

The stories are broken down into various chapters and subchapters such as Courage, Respect, or Adaptability.

Although you can read the book cover to cover, I have found it more enjoyable to either just open to a random page and read various stories or open to a topic that I might be interested in reading about at the time.
