Narration & info seems too cheesy & simple but Wow

Seems too simplistic, but it's basically the holy grail. Seem simplified, ordinary, & mundane 1950's style narration.. but wow. It's the absolute fundamentals that all the other big wig books on success taunt. This book is more like a bible than a book.
This is one of the audiobooks I can listen to over & over & pick any chapter.

Excellent Listen

My only regret is that it’s over. What an excellent listen. The narrator really hit home for a comforting experience with every word he spoke. The chapters seem to break up nicely and I do believe much of the information to be a keen insight on success and fulfillment. I will gladly recommend and as I do with all audio books I like, I’ll listen to them one more time.

Inspirational… And practical!

The One Thing is a fabulous book to help you focus on achieving the
most important goals in life. The best part is the practical application of ideas and real time examples to help you implement this way of thinking into your own daily life. I'm definitely going to read again!
