Werk

Neben weltlichen Selbsthilfe-Büchern verfasste Covey auch religiöse Traktate. Mormonisches Gedankengut wurde wiederholt als Grundlage auch seiner weltlichen Schriften beschrieben.<ref>Bill Gordon: A Closer Look At Stephen Covey And His 7 Habits. Apologetics Index, vom 23. Dezember 2007</ref><ref name="fort" /> Covey versicherte allerdings, dass er „niemals Religion oder Politik in seine Bücher oder weltweiten Seminare“ einfließen lasse.<ref>{{#if: | [[{{{authorlink}}}|Vorlage:Cite book/Name]] | Vorlage:Cite book/Name
