Like most business books, it is chock full of name-dropping anecdotes from a privileged white man.
BUT if you take all those away, it would be a really snappy read with digestible nuggets of advice. I've never tried blinkist , but this seems like the perfect candidate for it.
My biggest takeaways are that I should continue to strive for better, be transparent and candid, and follow through on my commitments. Areas I need to do the most work on are "Listen first" and "show respect."

had to read for work. didn’t actually read or finish it but what i did read good LORD was ROUGH
I'm not sorry I read it. I think it could have been about 1/3 shorter. Just say what you have to say. I bought the book. (Just kidding, I got it from the library.) you don't have to keep selling it. After 2/3 I started skimming because the book was basically over, but there were more pages.

Repetitive but provided an interesting perspective to what makes up trust. I feel like a lot of the buss words/topics were brainstormed to hit "13 behaviors", "10 reasons why trust is important", etc. and watered down the content, but there were some solid nuggets of knowledge/ideas in there.
Read this one for a professional development book study. It's a little too corporate for my liking. The other Covey books I've read for professional development were needlessly long and repetitive, and this one is no different. Still, it did spark good introspection while reading the first half of the book.

My biggest struggle with this book was the unabashed self-promotion and overwhelming ego that was so thick and all-consuming throughout the pages. By the halfway point, the book's credibility was so diminished that I merely skimmed the rest in search of Covey's perspective on managing those whose lack of moral compass deems them unworthy of being trusted. I was able to find sparce treatment of this vital topic that was totally inadequate for those saddled with untrustworthy colleagues in the workplace and elsewhere.

Read for my work book club. I found many pieces here that I can put to use at work and at home in personal relationships.
