7-habits.jpgBefore Who Moved My Cheese? and Getting Things Done, there was The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey’s seminal work on improving your personal and professional life. If you never got around to buying it (or bought it and never read it — come on, fess up), here’s your chance to score a deal: Audible is offering The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People as a free download.

To get the book, you’ll need to create a free Audible account and install the Audible software (or use iTunes, a highly preferable alternative, in my opinion). From there you can burn CDs, copy to your MP3 player, or just listen on your laptop. Alas, this offer is good only for residents of the U.S. (And I’m not sure when it expires, so act fast if you’re interested.)

I’ll admit I never read 7 Habits, mostly because I prefer fiction, but I’ll definitely scoop up the audiobook to play in the car. What about you? Is it a life-changing work or much ado about nothing? The Comments await your reviews.

Thanks to reader LJPierce for sending in this tip!

    i would love to download this book, as it is one of my favorites, but received this message upon checkout:

    "Unexpected Error During Checkout: 17001: 1: Error during checkout by Sales Rep component"

    i thought is was because i had to input credit card info and address, just like a real purchase. but no, that didn't help. i'll try again later.

    hope the next person has better luck.

    We Canucks always seem to get shafted out of the good freebies. Darn it anyways, eh?

    Why is it you always restrict this type of deal/information to U.S. only? Why bother posting at all?

    Um, I didn't restrict it -- Audible did. For what it's worth, I don't think it's fair, either. Probably something to do with copyright law and all that.
