THE SPEED OF TRUST

Stephen M.R. Covey, son of "Seven Habits" guru Stephen R. Covey, narrates his first book—also a business/self-improvement volume. His unflagging sincerity is hard to fault. Also a fan of lists, the son describes 13 trust-inspiring behaviors and four elements that influence the quality of business and personal relationships. The elder Covey introduces the book, sounding appropriately proud and going to great (and credible) lengths to demonstrate his son's individual business record. The younger Covey is at his strongest when offering insights from personal experience. His trustworthy earnestness takes the listener quite a long way, despite some choppiness and mispronunciations of foreign names. R.M. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2009]
