Find Your 1 Thing: Book Insights on The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan Book Insights Podcast

    • Education

* The One Thing is a deceptively simple title – this is not just another “how I did it” business autobiography, but a theory of success supported by academic studies that can be applied to both work and home life. 

* Though the book’s focus is simplicity itself – the power of focus –  it makes many points that are far from obvious, and exposes quite a few myths that are likely to have held you back from success. 

* When you consider people who achieve great things, their success often involves a paradox. They are able to get more done, with greater effect, because they “go small,” that is, they narrow their focus to the single thing they must do, if every other thing they would like to happen would fall into place.

Theme 1: Go Small to Achieve Big - 0:29

Theme 2: Activity vs Productivity - 9:10

Theme 3: The Time Block - 19:10
