The One Thing (Summary)

by Jay Papasan

GetAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes. Gary Keller, co-founder of Keller Williams Realty and a best-selling author, overcame his own issues about focus, which makes his claims about cultivating better habits even more compelling. Multitasking isn't fruitful, he says, since success requires long periods of laser-like concentration, not scattershot swats. If you find your "ONE Thing," Keller says, everything else will fall into place. Keller, writing with co-author Jay Papasan, breaks his approach down into manageable steps based on research and experience. With an engaging writing style and plenty of bullet points, this reads much faster than its 200-plus pages. getAbstract recommends Keller's methods to new managers, time-strapped executives and anyone seeking habits that build success.
