“The ONE Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan is an easy to read but profound book that helped me to focus on keeping the main thing the main thing in all areas of my life.” ― Brandon Turner, Author and Podcast Co-Host

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid little razor to upgrade productivity.
Reviewed in Canada on December 28, 2023
Verified Purchase
Honestly, this book could have been one page long. Otherwise it's a very useful tool to leave on your desk to remind you to stay focused; to remind yourself to ask the questions that keep you focused.

If you have a busy and demanding lifestyle and are happy being a busy-bee this book won't do much for you. If you're a bit lazy and inconsistent like me it's a great prop to keep you moving in a positive direction.

Very Simple concept but very powerful and yet it's require you to dig deep, really deep in yourself. To do ONE Thing you have to know what you really want in life and sometimes people don't know what they want. So focus find yiur WANT then, develop your ONE Thing to execute persistently everyday to achieve your WANT.

I love this book and I think yiu should give it a try

Being a multitalented creative I've been crippled with wanting to do so many things. This book changed my life in learning how to manage that and allow myself to attack the most important tasks/skills/projects first. I've read thousands of books and this is definitely the most important and impactful book I've ever read! Very grateful for learning about Gary Keller on the Tim Ferriss podcast and then this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book to learn goal setting, setting up a systematic plan, be productive and achieve goals.
Reviewed in India on March 7, 2024
Verified Purchase
The media could not be loaded.
 It is the best book to start with to know goal setting, setting up a systematic plan then a routine to be more productive and eventually break out of monotonous lifestyle to achieve the goal you wish for. The size of book is small, size of a hand. The delivery quality was in excellent condition. Some reviews are saying that the book has underlined pencil marks, those are intentionally underlined grey ink used by the author itself to highlight or stress upon the important key points, so it is normal. This book not only covers the theory but gives an actionable steps and ways to implement them. It is very practical in nature and tuned according to your current digital lifestyle. Overall, I suggest to must read this book cover to cover.
