The inspirational final book from the legendary leadership expert Stephen R. Covey, internationally best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.

How do you live your best life, no matter your age? How should you approach the challenges and opportunities of middle to later life—like raising children, caring for parents, managing and inspiring others, and staying on top of your career and what comes next?

In Live Life in Crescendo Stephen R. Covey sets out to answer these questions, outlining his vision for those in the prime of your life, whatever age you may be. To live life in crescendo is 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 readers to use whatever you have — your time, talents, skills, resources, gifts, passion, money, influence — to enrich the lives of people around you.

Written near the end of his life and published posthumously, Live Life in Crescendo is a life-changing and life-affirming book infused with Covey’s generosity and wisdom.
