Some powerful things.

Would you listen to The ONE Thing again? Why?

Only key parts of the book. The book's big ideas are well worth purchasing. However, there are some concepts that I would call "Fluffy"

Great Book When You're Ready For It.

I spent my first read/listen arguing internally with the idea that I have to pick one thing. Then I decided to try it for a month. Argument over. Very powerful stuff. Great Book!

Good Audio, better paper

This is a really good book that is useful for anyone who wants I be more productive and focused. However I think it would have been better to read than to listen too.

Common sense but often overlooked.

Great listen with decent narrator. A bit annoying when the female voice would state the title of the section, she was much louder than the narrator. But, overall very enjoyable.
