About this ebook
This is a concise and clear summary of Gary Keller and Jay Papasan's book: The ONE Thing
We want less. We want less stress. We want fewer things to distract us. With today’s constant bombardment from all kinds of technologically induced communication, as well as busyness from meetings, work, and responsibilities of personal life, we get tired. The results are that we don’t handle any of it well; the quality of our work declines, we miss deadlines, our paychecks get smaller, and our promotions don’t happen.
But we also want more. We want increased productivity from work. We want more income so we can improve our lifestyle. We want life satisfaction. We want more time to spend on ourselves, with our families, and with our friends.
Having both less and more is not mutually exclusive!
Following the principles taught in The ONE Thing will bring about amazing results that affect everything in all areas of your work, your personal life, your family life, and your spiritual life.
Available in a variety of formats, this summary is aimed for those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the current time to devour all 133 pages. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer. This is a summary that is not intended to be used without reference to the original book.
