Live Life in Crescendo

Your Most Important Work is Always Ahead of You

By: Stephen R. Covey, Cynthia Covey Haller

Narrated by: Cynthia Covey Haller

A “beautiful, inspiring, and important” (Professor Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Prize Laureate) final book from the legendary leadership expert, Stephen R. Covey, internationally bestselling author of the classic The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

Stephen R. Covey spent his long and storied career inspiring millions of individuals to make their lives more effective, compassionate, and meaningful. Near the end of his life, Covey felt there was a final component to his work: How do you live your best life no matter your age?

Live Life in Crescendo is Covey’s directive to live life in crescendo, meaning to continually grow in contribution, learning, and influence. In the same way that music builds on previous notes but leaves us anticipating the next note, a life builds on the past but unfolds in the future. The Crescendo Mentality urges you to use whatever you have—your time, talents, skills, resources, gifts, passion, money, influence—to enrich the lives of people around you, including your family, neighborhood, community, and the world.

Cowritten with his daughter, Cynthia Covey Haller, and published posthumously, Live Life in Crescendo is a life-changing and life-affirming book that will “inspire you to dream bigger and bolder” (Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again) and befits the generosity and wisdom of the late Stephen R. Covey.

One word - Inspiring!!!

Hands down, the best book I’ve ever read. Inspirational and beautifully written. God Bless Mrs. Haller and her late father, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for writing and sharing with the rest of the world. Viva la vida in Crescendo!!!

An Amazing Listen!

An amazing listen! This is the kind of book I will refer to all my life. Living a life in crescendo means your best work is always ahead of you (instead of behind you), which is such a hopeful and relevant message and one that inspires me to continue contributing. The stories are abundant and meaningful—from people all over the world and from all walks of life. You are never too old to make a difference for good. I loved listening to this book!
