      This book is truly phenomenal. Many times we try too many things, and then wonder why we fail. This book does indeed remind me of a quote by Swami Vivekananda, which reminds us to focus on the one idea and that is all, to make our lives successful.This book is well adapted to the times in which we live, and is well worth the read. Not just once.
    • 5/5
      Excellent reminder that we need to constantly focus on the most important - not necessarily the most urgent - tasks and objectives for the various parts of our lives. Work on the one thing that is most important and the other things don't matter quite so much, right?
    • 3/5
      Typical motivation, straighten yourself book. As the title indicates the central theme of the book hammered over and over is focusing on one thing to change your course and prosper. Simple sound advice that will probably work as well as you apply it like anything else.
    • 5/5
      One of the best book I have ever read in my life, and packed with a lot of practical advice.
    • 5/5
      Thank you, I can say nothing else but thank you! I really needed this.

      Amazing read! One of a kind. If you are starting on a personal development journey, this is an excellent place to begin. Life changer!
    • 5/5
      Great book! Simple, easy to read, with concrete ideas and actionable steps to being more successful in any endeavor.
    • 2/5
      The one thing is a gimmick. I found it trite but the examples are entertaining.
    • 3/5
      It was an okay book. Sure, it shaped my thought in some aspects but not very clear and did not live up to my standard of habit building books
    • 5/5
      This book is fantastic. It really crystallizes what one must do to achieve the success they want.
      If I fail in life by not following the principles in book then I’m an idiot.
    • 5/5
      Très inspirant et bénéfique pour vivre une vie pleine de sens
    • 5/5
      Truly one of the best books to read. I highly recommend this book. It truly inspires and aspires you to focus on that one thing and how to build on that.
    • 5/5
      great inspiring book
    • 5/5
      This book has tactical actionable insights which can leveraged in daily life. Excellent read for any age and any time
    • 5/5
      In the beginning I thought to myself how impossible it would be to do One Thing at a time, but after reading the benefits and logic behind this process, I have already begun implementing these behaviors in my life and my work smarter not harder mentality is shining through.
    • 5/5
      Amazingly insightful book! love it!
    • 5/5
      Among the slew of self-help & productivity books out there, this one manages to bring out some practical but deep concepts immediately applicable. I wish that he had spent more time researching the "Marshmallow" experiment and the so-called "10K hour rule" instead of parroting the common misunderstanding, but overall this is one of the best in this genre.
    • 4/5
      “People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the only ones who do.”

      Find the one thing. Extremely pursue the one thing. Be successful.
