I like the premise and the main question that the book revolves around: "What's the ONE thing you can do this week, such that by doing it, everything else would be easier or unnecessary?" The emphasis on ONE is the key. What I found lacking was examples from the author's like - which I expected should/would include some failures and refinements, but there were none. The book could have easily been 50 pages or less, including such examples. Nevertheless, I'm glad I read it just for the core idea. What I did find incongruous was the author exhorting the reader to find that ONE thing... but then turn around and apply the ONE thing mantra to the 17 dimensions of our lives. I think it needs to be ONE thing. (

I underlined and circled so many bits of this book; it was incredibly insightful and well-written! Keller's theory of The One Thing is broken down into understandable and organized chapters and he takes the time to walk the reader through each portion thoroughly. I've already begun applying what Keller talked about to my life and from the little I've seen so far I'm already pleased; I look forward to moving forwards with these methods in mind. 5/5, would recommend!

Super simple (obviously) but important and very applicable. (

This book is a gem! Reading it gave me a much-needed altered perspective and shifted the way I approach my daily tasks. As a multipassionate creative, I frequently become scattered, overwhelmed, and confused about what I should work on next. My productivity has always been challenged by my myriad interests, scattering my focus to the winds.

This book provided an eye-opening perspective on how to cope with my overflowing plate of interests and roles. It taught me to tackle the most crucial tasks and projects first. Previously, trying to give equal attention to all aspects was a balancing act I was losing. Now I can concentrate my efforts, resulting in better outcomes and more satisfaction in the work I do.

I was entirely engrossed in the book. So much so, I read it in one sitting! I took notes, highlighted, and underlined frequently. Definitely one for my keeper shelf! (

Good advice wrapped up in a trite and overly long package. I rate it higher than I would have otherwise because, unlike much of the advice about how you will get the most out of life if you find your one most important thing and focused on it, this book did cover some under examined areas. For example, the author realizes that life has multiple domains and that having a focus does not mean neglecting them. Having one thing is more applicable in terms of personal or work achievement goals, but those goals won't be realized if they aren't built on a firm foundation of mental and emotional health and strong relationships. Another challenge the author discussed is that by focusing on one thing, yes, you will be dropping other things. Unlike many, he does not dismiss this concern.

I also liked the way that the author bridged the gap between having a big picture purpose and day-to-day activities via the mechanism of a focusing question: "Based on my goal, what's the one thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?" At the big picture level, this can help you discovery what your one thing should be. At the day-to-day level this same question can help you focus on the most important next step. The gap between these is bridged incrementally: "What's the one thing I want to do someday?" "Based on that, what's the one thing I can do in the next 5 years?" Then one year, then next month, then week, then day, then right now.

All-in-all, a good message, but I could have done without the repetition and most of the anecdotes. (
