This is a great book! Although Stephen Covey is a Mormon, it is amazing how Catholic his underlying principles are. I was particularly struck by this because I happened to be reading it alongside The World's First Love by Bishop Fulton Sheen, which is about Our Lady. Both authors discussed the true meaning of freedom at length and their principles and conclusions were remarkably similar. The book covers seven major ideas, which when incorporated into our lives, can have a profound effect on our ability to accomplish goals and deal well with other people. These seven habits are also addressed in Mr. Covey's earlier book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, but here they are applied to those we have to live with every day and have the greatest responsibility toward. The language used is not highly religious. But if you read between the lines and consider his ideas in light of your Faith, you will find this a very useful book for enhancing your family life on both the natural and spiritual levels. An excellent book to read alongside this book in order to amplify the spiritual considerations is A Map of Life by Frank Sheed. The two books together might make an excellent summer reading and discussion program for the teenagers and adults in your household.
