Would be a really good complement if you have the printed book. :)

This book was an easy listen. The narrator’s voice was somewhat soothing and it matches the tone of the book well.

I learned a lot. I feel like I would still need to revisit this book at least once a year. I tried to finish it first in one going, but I would recommend to really digest it and go on your own pace.

I would recommend this book for over-thinkers like me. I hope we find The One Thing in everything we do!

Good book -Practical advice

I wish authors would read the book themselves. Sounded like a salesman was reading it.

More than it seems

A lot of people rad recommended this book but I put of getting it for a long time because I assumed the whole idea could be summed up in one sentence. “Do one thing at a time for better focus and success”. That is way to vague to do this book justice. Full of useful gems of information. A must read for anyone running a business or just wanting to be more effective in general.
