Cynthia Covey Haller, daughter of the late Stephen R Covey joins us on Awakened Nation to discuss her father's last book: Live Life In Crescendo: Your Most Important Work Is Always Ahead of You.

A capstone to his international bestseller, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and The 8th Habit, Crescendo shares key insights for people who feel they have peaked in life.

"There are all these retirement myths that people carry around, and they just didn't work for my father." Life is meant to be lived in crescendo, not in diminuendo.

Cynthia worked with her father up to his untimely death, and continued writing to bring Crescendo to life. It is as much her book as it is her father's.

This is a heartwarming episode as Cynthia shares stories of her father Stephen and his love for his children, as well as memories of her mother Sandra Covey who worked tirelessly on the Covey Center for the Arts in Provo, Utah, USA.

And lastly, Cynthia shares how her faith in God, and the support of the entire Covey Family, that got her through the toughest of times.
