No Stupid Questions

The book was referenced several times, often to illustrate concepts like scarcity versus abundance mindset and to note its influence on business self‑help literature. Angela Duckworth cited it as a source of the Eisenhower Matrix and mentioned having read it repeatedly, while Mike and Stephen Dubner highlighted a misattributed quote that actually originated from Peter Drucker. Overall, the hosts treated the title as a well‑known, moderately influential work rather than a central recommendation.

Episode: 168. Would You Be Happier if You Were More Creativ...

It was incorrectly attributed to the book's author; the quote 'Do first things first, and second things not at all' actually originated from Peter Drucker's 'The Effective Executive'.

"

It was the old Stephen Covey, 'Do first things first, and second things not at all'.

Finally Mike attributes the quotation 'Do first things first, and second things not at all' to Stephen Covey, author of the 1989 book 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People'. The line actually comes from the 1966 book 'The Effective Executive' by Peter Drucker whose work was a significant influence on Covey.

Episode: 145. Do You Have a Scarcity Mindset or an Abundanc...

It was mentioned as the origin of the terms 'scarcity mindset' and 'abundance mindset'. The book was described as self-helpy and business-focused, emphasizing effectiveness in commercial and business contexts.

"

Then I felt silly about being surprised actually came from an extraordinarily popular book called the seven habits of highly effective people By Steven Covey who was an interesting guy who I didn't really know.

Covey says that a scarcity mentality refers to people who see life as a finite pie in other words, it becomes a zero-sum game, right? If you have something I can't have it.

He writes that people with a scarcity mentality have a very difficult time sharing recognition and credit power or profit whereas someone with an abundance mentality has the idea that there's plenty out there for everyone.

So I think these are really two different things we're talking about and I think what Matthew is writing is to ask what psychology has to say about this sort of Getting ahead framework that's posed by Steven Covey of setting off scarcity versus abundance.

This is a book that Steven Covey first published in 1989. It was kind of a self-helpy business book.

Episode: 60. Why Do We Complain?

It was mentioned as a book that Angela had read multiple times and where she learned about Eisenhower's Matrix.

"

I actually know about this matrix because I have read Stephen Covey's book more times than anyone would believe. This is the seven habits of highly effective people.

Episode: 37. How Do You Know if People Don’t Like You?

It was briefly mentioned and discussed in context of Angela's misreferencing of another book.

"

Angela appropriately enough confuses the work with another best-selling self-help book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, which was written by author and businessman Stephen Covey.

It was mentioned as an example of a book that achieved lasting influence because it was built as a system, not just a one-time publication, and was discussed in the context of creating residual results.

"

when he decided he would write seven habits one of the reasons he did that what sort of push them over the edge was that he had a friend who was very successful at the time as a speaker and had ideas and had people that were interested in so on and then he died prematurely and that was it was gone his ideas were gone there was nothing else left and that was when he said okay well I've got to create something that is independent of me but I don't show up for the event you know when I can't show up for the event anymore this thing carries on.

so for me my goal when writing essentialism and now writing effortless isn't just hey have a New York Times best seller I'm glad they both have been but the key is to write something that can exist in perpetuity.

It was mentioned that Stephen Covey once had a group of teenagers write down how they saw themselves and then how God saw them based on scriptures, patriarchal blessings, talents, and gifts.

"

I remember something that Stephen Covey did once with a group of young adults or teenagers

he had people take a piece of paper, fold it in half. And on one side of the page, that was just to make it into columns. And then in column one, right at the top, how I see myself, right? How others see me.

he was a little surprised at how negative kids could be about themselves. I'm this, I'm that, I'm weird, I'm strange. I'm not attractive. I'm whatever.

And then he said on the other side, I want you to write down how God sees me and started to go through scriptural references. What is the worth of a soul? What has he done for you? What has he said about you in your patriarchal blessing, which is amazing, your talents, your gifts, your capacities.

Episode: Articles of Faith : Brother Ahmad S. Corbitt

The speaker mentioned the author's book, 'The Six Events of the Restoration', which suggests that the order of the restoration events is a formula for solving life's problems and that the order of the Articles of Faith mirrors the order in which things fell apart in the apostasy.

"

You know about the seven habits. Well, the six events of the restoration, Brother Covey suggested the, the order of the events of the restoration are kind of a formula for solving life's problems.

I think I heard Brother Covey once at an education week also kind of say, if you look at the order of the Articles of Faith, you kind of see the order in which things fell apart as the apostasy began that started with the nature of God and then with the original sin and things like that.

It was mentioned in connection with an anecdote about Albert Einstein's curiosity about the universe and its purpose. It was used to emphasize the importance of understanding the 'why' behind creation, something the gospel provides answers for.

"

I want to Steven and Kovies books he talks about Albert Einstein being asked if you could ask out anything what would you ask him and Albert Einstein said well I ask him how he made the universe and then he changed his mind it said no wait I would ask him why he created the universe because then I would know the meaning of my life and recently I found that Steven Hawking in our day said that you know science may one day be able to tell us how the universe was created but it won't be able to tell us why does the universe bother to exist and we have beautiful answers here in the gospel
