If you could sum up The ONE Thing in three words, what would they be?

Where do I start talking about a book so transformative it leaves you in awe of the potential in yourself. I have been a lifelong student of business and life and I am awash with new vigor after listening to the book. I also own the hard copy.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The One Thing. So simple, so unbelievably profound.

What does Timothy Miller and Claire Hamilton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I really like Claire's voice outlining and reinforcing core elements. Nice touch. I liked Tim too all excellent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes. A few laughs yes. No crying.

Any additional comments?

Do this. Get the book and do what they lay out. In my life I've achieved really cool milestones but still feel like it's not enough. Family, relationships, business, spiritually, all benefit from the strategy for better living in this book.

Do this and you have the answer.

for all the nay sayers, I think you were all personally touched by the overall point of this book. it may have pointed out too many of your flaws and weaknesses. you all say that it's pointing out obvious things. yes it does. however it also helps one to capitalize on obvious things and develop on those.

I will recommend this book. to any Audible customer requesting book recommendations.

This is deep content, it's powerful. I feel like this book came at the right time of a pressing decision I had to make iny career. Believe it or not but this book brought clarity to my goals and dreams. Less is more and don't try doing everything because you will fall short of your true potential. Listen to this book, take the advice, and apply it. Highly recommend this book, great narrator as well.

It is surprising that focusing on one thing to get done in a day can have more impact than working on a top 10 list. The six lies (beliefs) keeping you from success are:
1. Everything matters equally.
2. Multitasking
3. A disciplined life
4. Willpower is always on will call.
5. Balanced life
6. Big is bad.

The theme throughout the book is doing the one thing, "what is the one thing that I can do today that by doing it, everything else will easier or unnecessary?" Identify one goal to increase your success at work. Do one thing for yourself to be happier. Do one thing to improve your relationship with your family. Block time on your calendar to focus on your one thing in each of these areas. You have to be willing to commit to this routine to achieve extraordinary results.

Chapters on finding purpose and mastering your one thing are concepts covered more in depth in other books like "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek and "Peak" by Anders Ericsson. There are resources available at www.the1thing.com to help with identifying your purpose, setting goals, and tracking your progress.

Focus On One Thing Each Day

Listened on Audible in one sitting. As Realtor expected this to be more about that business. Found it crosses over to any business, social or spiritual effort. Struggle with the time block advice having tried it without consistency and therefore did not achieve any remarkable success. Will make a better effort after this listen.

Great Success and Motivational Book

Lots of great tips to stay focus. Love the part of the common distractions and how to deal with them. Also... it take 66 days to adopt a new habit... not the commonly spoken of 21 days time frame! Overall, really loved this book!

Great tips
