The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan

We live in a world of distraction.

So many tabs open in our heads — so many competing demands, pressures, priorities. It’s easy to feel pulled in ten directions and unsure which one (if any) actually leads somewhere worthwhile.

That’s why The One Thing is such a refreshing read.

It’s not a book full of hacks or fluffy motivation. It’s a clear, well-reasoned case for simplifying your focus — not just in work, but in life. What’s the one thing that, if you really committed to it, would make everything else easier or even unnecessary?

It’s a deceptively simple question. But answering it — and then acting on the answer — is where the magic happens.

This book doesn’t ignore the complexity of life, but it does challenge the myth that you have to juggle everything at once to be successful. It’s about choices, clarity, and the power of intentional action.

I recommend it to anyone feeling overstretched, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start. Whether you’re leading a business, navigating change, or just trying to reclaim your focus, this book offers a solid, structured way to reframe how you spend your time and energy.

It’s also closely aligned with how we think at Think Wellbeing. Sustainable change isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing what matters, and doing it well.
