It kind of hit home for me [...] that when you wake up in the morning, you put your focus on this one thing of what you want to accomplish during the day, which seems like a no-brainer. - Maria Sharapova

In "The ONE Thing," Gary Keller presents a compelling argument against the modern myth of multitasking, urging readers to focus instead on the singular task that will lead to the greatest success. Through a meticulously researched narrative, Keller dismantles the six pervasive lies that obstruct our achievement, offering a fresh perspective on productivity that prioritizes depth over breadth. This transformative guide challenges readers to redefine their approach to work and life by identifying and committing to their one most important goal. Beyond merely critiquing the status quo, Keller provides practical strategies to navigate the complexities of modern life, including how to combat the seven thieves of time that silently sabotage our efforts towards success. By embracing the laws of purpose, priority, and productivity, readers are equipped not only to achieve more but to achieve what matters most. "The ONE Thing" stands as a testament to the power of focused effort, inviting us into a journey of disciplined pursuit of our highest aspirations.

Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls-- family, health, friends, integrity-- are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.
