A re-hash of the original '7 Habits' !
What made the experience of listening to The ONE Thing the most enjoyable?
Well structured.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The ONE Thing?
It focuses on 'one thing'
What about Timothy Miller and Claire Hamilton ’s performance did you like?
Yes. Easy to listen to, although Claire Hamilton's accent is a little too 'Cheesy American' for this Englishman.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Probably not. But possible.
Any additional comments?
This is a rather shameless duplication and re-hash of 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People'. If you have read '7 Habits' then it's an OK revision of the principles, stated slightly differently. If you haven't. forget this and read '7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Dr Stephen Covey. It is much better.
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. 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.
Perhaps I should nick a bit from all the authors I have read and re-publish it under a catchy name!

5 out 5
Any additional comments?
This is my 5 question system for appraising business and management books. It isn't perfect but it works for me, I hope you find it useful...
Have I incorporated in my business or how I run my business any learnings from this book? Yes.Did feel I wa nted to understand really understand the book in depth, make notes and apply the content? Yes.Is it a book I’ve gone back to in order to check I really get the ideas and concepts so I can apply them? Yes.Is it a book I keep to hand on my mobile, where space is at a premium, so I can re-listen as and when? Yes.Finally, is it a book that has brought insights and moved me forward? Yes.Comments...Stick with it - I found it was literally 2 hrs in before it really got going. I have changed my goal setting system based on insights from this book. The narration is a touch irritating and the "musac" jingle but don't that put you off.

Cringeworthy
This book made me cringe from the outset with cheesy management and platitudes. Big Goals, Big Question, Mastery is a path not a destination. To get the right answers ask the right questions......uurgh

The ONE Star...
I actually had to stop listening to this 3 chapters in. It's unlistenable. There's not one paragraph in it where "ONE thing" is not stressed. It's repetitive, cheesy and horrible. It's like listening to a long American commercial for ONE thing. Awful.

Excellent book
At first I thought how can you write so much about 1 thing. This really has got me focused and highly productive. It's helped me focus on what matters most in the day, so the rest of the day is clear. Highly recommended

My favorite book
Where does The ONE Thing rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I would say it's one of the best books.
What other book might you compare The ONE Thing to, and why?
Don't think it's comparable just think the other books are wasted compared to this one.
Have you listened to any of Timothy Miller and Claire Hamilton ’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt like this is the only book I ever need to listen to. Simplify everything other books makes complicated
Any additional comments?
Would listen to this book again and again and again and again.....
