The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results

This book was amazing!
Though it's language is the language of cheap self-help books, but the content is of best qualities. Those who know me, know how skeptical I am. But this book satisfied my skepticism. The author has done his research. And has done it well. He used major psychology studies and used them just right. His conclusion of these studies has been perfectly right. Even better than some psychology professors at major universities!
He offers really great minimalistic tools and methods for practicing the lessons of the book. My major concern was that he may fall on the extreme of over-specialization and 1 dimensional living. But as I progressed through the book, he delicately covered other dimensions of life.
I would recommend this book strongly. But please be sure to read it thoroughly and completely. Mis-understanding his methods may cause harm.

Only one of the major studies that they referred to is under suspicion. But even than, the studies that show that these studies (will depletion) are not replicable, are still in their initial phases and should go a long way to disprove this highly studied psychological phenomena. Also consider that many of the replications that were done in that study is also questionable. Yet I took that under consideration. Still, even if that specific study should be disproven, that one study was not the point of the book and it's just the focus of one of the sub-chapters of the book.
:) I'll be sure to read this one asap.
But that last sentence though, you should work in advertising!
