the 7 habits of highly effective people by stephen covey audiobook

And a lot of people simply are not ready for the implications. It all has to come from within - that is, your character, who you are. The point of this book is that you will never be content in your life if you are looking for contentment OUTSIDE OF your life. And yes, the part about being honest could be seen as morality, but considering the whole point is that honesty is a requirement for having people trust you, it strikes me that many of these negative reviews may be written by people who wanted a quick fix, a set of numerical steps on how to be successful. Now, I guess you could say some parts talk about morality, but not in the sense of 'you must love your neighbor' or whatever. But is The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg religious, or even spiritual? Because that's by far the primary principle in the book. He also mentions that all enduring religions AS WELL AS all enduring philosophical systems agree on certain principles of human maturity and interaction, and those are the principles he bases the book on. That takes up approximately 2 sentences in the entire book (though he says a little more in the afterword). He clearly states that he believes in God. Too religious? Irrational? Morality? What book are these people reading? Does the author mention religion? Yes. Covey reveals a step-by-step pathway for living with fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity - principles that give us the security to adapt to change and the wisdom and power to take advantage of the opportunities that change creates.
