"In figure nine, you'll see a blah blah blah." This drives me crazy because, no, I DON'T see it. I've returned books before simply because I want to learn while listening, and would have bought the hard copy book if I need reference materials. The book contains valuable wisdom, but the production (narrator, music) annoyed me so much that I had to listen in stages.Īny audio book that includes graphics, graphs, figures etc, should come with a warning in the description. It's the same musical interlude 24 times. This bestseller will certainly be on my Top-10 book list for 2016, and is already a contender for my 2016 book-of-the-year. How could the performance have been better?ĭon't separate chapters with music. 'Until my ONE Thing is doneeverything everything else is a distraction.' I’ve just read a powerful book, The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results, by Gary Keller with Jay Papasan. His intentions were clear he wants to entertain us, but it detracted from the text, and ultimately annoyed me. The narration sounded like he was trying to 'act' his way through an informational book. Perhaps I should nick a bit from all the authors I have read and re-publish it under a catchy name! Whereas 'The Power of Habit' by Charles Duhigg addresses this subtopic of the power of Habits in much more detail and complete with properly referenced source material. The subtitle of Gary Keller’s book, The One Thing, explains why it’s both a NY Times and WSJ bestseller: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results. They refer to several studies and findings from other books on the same subjects, but in the audiobook they don't refer to the studies or credit other authors. Book Review: The One Thing by Gary Keller. forget this and read '7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Dr Stephen Covey. If you have read '7 Habits' then it's an OK revision of the principles, stated slightly differently. This is a rather shameless duplication and re-hash of 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People'.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Easy to listen to, although Claire Hamilton's accent is a little too 'Cheesy American' for this Englishman. What about Timothy Miller and Claire Hamilton ’s performance did you like? What was one of the most memorable moments of The ONE Thing?
What made the experience of listening to The ONE Thing the most enjoyable?
