	First Things First Stephen Covey
	Most time-management schemes fail because they don’t address basic principles. But this is a rich, moving and powerful book for anyone who is open to its message. The basic message is truly profound:  for principle-centered living, it is critical to focus on activities that are important, and not just urgent. Set principle-based goals. Try to do the right thing, for the right reason, in the right way.

	Your Money or Your Life : Transforming Your Relationship With Money and Achieving Financial Independence
	Your Money or Your Life hit the market just as the workers of America were discovering the void in the center of their post-'80s consumer-driven values. The book's premise is based on life force: we drain it in order to earn more so that we can consume more. The nine-step process shows how to frame personal finances in a whole new context. For example, every purchase can be measured on a scale of life force: when grocery shopping, consider how much of your life force it took to earn the money for a gourmet brand of jam. Will the pleasure it brings match or exceed that life force? If not, put it back on the shelf. Other steps are as fundamental as wise investing and how to downscale spending while maintaining a sense of abundance.
