Back in the mid-90's, my boss handed this out. She had JUST stopped requiring it when I joined, so in fairness, I never read it. Everyone there said the book was cool until they got to the "god stuff." I found out the book was put out by a Mormon. So maybe what they said put me off. But they seemed to think it started off general, then pulled into the god-specific, with nothing for atheists/agnostics. My boss did not stop using it for that reason; she had contacted Covey to speak at our national conference, but we were "too small" for him (her words quoting his scheduler person) so I have had the well poisoned for me. Of course I will not condemn the exact contents without having read it, but it was this supposed religious element from the Mormons which kept me uninterested. I had had a recent bad experience with Mormons at the time. Perhaps I was biased against it. But I buy my planner at Franklin-Covey every year like clockwork, so go figure!
