Hi Joy,

The 8th Habit is really a book about mindset and applies to life in general. It is too bad that it is disguised as a business book – because I think that it speaks to a much wider audience.

The talking stick concept is truly genius.

I have used it in a group discussion setting for business – and people were really receptive to it.

It stopped interruptions – and everybody felt that they were heard.

I am sure that it will come in handy with your grandkids!

So nice of you to stop in!

Although I’ve read, and really recommend, the 7 Habits, I haven’t read the 8th Habit!

It sound interesting – and I really liked how you realized that you could change its relevance to a solo-preneur (like me!) by considering your family as the organization. So it’s a dual purpose book if you consider it a parenting guide 🙂

Oh, if only I had known about the talking stick a few years ago, before they all flew the nest. However with chatty grandchildren getting into their full swing I’m sure I’ll soon have need to introduce it.

Great review – thanks,
