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

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.

One of the Best books Ever written and recorded!

I am so excited to discover my ONE Thing every day, week, month, year... This book has opened my thoughts to an interesting way of life. I am developing the success habit. The future is filled with possibilities. Thanks Gary Keller & Jay Papasan for delivering a life changing formula.

this book is awesome.

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.

Bronnie Ware - The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing is also another good read from Amazon.com. It's not available on Audible.com

Take this serious

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.

Excellent book

This book is one that I will read (listen) to over and over. It should be a staple on everyone's reading list. Excellent information delivered in a quick and easy way. With helpful resources online.

Focus On One Thing Each Day

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.

I’ve re-listened 5 times...

I’ve re-listened 5 times and received it less than 14 days ago. Excellent blueprint.

One-oh-One for the One Thing

This book is defiantly good. It’s a good read for any and all beginners, and for people who want to help beginners get their start. However, for many other readers, you will find the contents of this book somewhere in between cliche and platitude. With that in mind, I encourage you to enjoy it and apply the contents to your purpose.

Great Read

Str8 to the point and easy directions. Definitely something I'll be implementing into my everyday life and business.

A mix of other books

Any additional comments?

This is essentially (pun intended) a mix of Essentialism and The Power of Habit. Literally. Uses some of the same studies and examples. It's kind of like reading Essentialism and The Power of Habit, then writing this book. The funny thing is, The One Thing came out before Essentialism.

ANYWAYS.

It's a good read. I would recommend all 3, if you have the time. The basic principal is to acquire your energy into the right things. It's better to do 3 crucial chores versus 10 small ones. Are you busy or are you productive is the main question to ask yourself.
