PNTV: The ONE Thing by Gary Keller & Jay Papasan ( 

Brian, thanks for sharing our book. Great job!

Just started watching your channel and I'm totally hooked! Thank you Brian.

Started watching your videos in the beginning of January this year. It has made a HUGE positive impact on me! Thank you so much and look forward to your next video!

Excellent summary! I just finished reading the book and I consider it one of the most useful books I've ever read.

just read this from front to back yesterday-you did a hell of a job in pulling out the key points. keep up the good work!

This Channel is GOLD. Thanks Brian! Keep up with the work... The second I saw this channel, I thought "This is value giving".

Awesome, Brian. Thanks for sharing those big ideias!

"Goal setting to now" is huge!! Thank you Brian!

Great ideas as always. Thank you for the wisdom shared. Looking forward to implementing these in my life.

I'm currently reading this on, its fantastic. Very practical too.

Best recap I’ve heard of the book! Fantastic, thank you!

Hey Brian- I don't usually comment on youtube but just wanted to let you know that you are the man. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and motivating me to become a better version of myself every single day. Keep doing big things!

Great speaking skills. You just got yet another subscriber. For anyone seeing this, here's an idea: If you have negative self-talk or just non-productive self-talk, filling your mental-space with great audiobooks can serve you way better than just letting your mind wander when you aren't focused on demanding tasks. Even if you only draw a few useful ideas from any particular audiobook, NOT having your mind go in negative circles can be life-changing. For those really persistent negative thoughts...also take that as a cue that you need to change something in your life, be it dropping a relationship or getting started on a task, or whatever (the first and latter points are not mutually exclusive).

Thank you, always a joy to learn from you, Brian! :)

Thank you!! I absolutely LOVE your channel!

Great job Brian. Very insightful, actionable and inspiring summary!

This video is AWESOME! With a lot of energy and enthusiasm as always, you conveyed the messages very coherently. The cool thing is that there are really cool TOOLS in this video, i learned a lot and i'm going to apply some. I subscribed to Philosopher's Notes a week ago and i think it's the best decision to spend money i did in the last year at least. You contribute so much value and knowledge with so much passion that it's just perfect and blissful watching it, can't think of a better person to do what you do. My entire day schedule has changed because of your work. Getting up each day in 06:30, meditating, no t.v, no t.v series, no news, limited time to websites, READING THE PN EACH MORNING.. step by step i'm removing distractions and proceeding with face forward and a bunch of tools to become the best version of myself i can be. So, really, a BIG thank you, you are the MAN!

Great book; I'm on my second listen after getting it yesterday (listening to this audible book at x1.5 speed).

Just bought "With Winning in Mind". Headed over to amazon to grab this one right now. I'm determined to get my life on track. I really appreciate these videos Brian.

Hi Brian, I watched most your videos and thank you for being an inspiration. This reminds me of Uniqueability Concept of Dan Sullivan and Dharma from Hinduism. Thank you for the wisdom you are sharing!

I really liked the Maker's vs Manager's schedule that you talk about, in Time Blocking. As someone who juggles between a Manager's role and automation, I have faced this multiple times. Glad to know it's a universal problem and it has an interesting name too. Thanks for the video. It is very useful.

Great share Brian! Love these summaries of some great books!!

This was great -- thanks so much for this breakdown, Brian.

+Brian Johnson, thanks for sharing your time! I'm impressed with the ability of sinthesis that you have! About this book, It's really phenomenal! Brian Jonhson, obrigado por compartilhar seu tempo! Fico impressionado com sua capacidade de síntese. Sobre o livro, é realmente fenomenal!

awesome mentor.. thank you for your dedication.

"The things which matter most must never be at the mercy of the things which matter least" - Goethe.

Awesomely explained. You are a great teacher

Most appreciated...well thought out and presented.

Love this!! Thank you Brian. The Best!

The goal setting part, I loved it! It is appealing to me this "goal" thing and it is of a great value to me the way it is presented so that it can be both more effective for me and easier!

Brilliant summary, thanks Brian

I felt so motivate with this video!! It's amazing how you can touch people with your work! Thank you so much Brian, please continue this blessing work!! Could you please indicate a book or video about procrastination?

Excellent Video.

I guess the same advice for all the books you review. So many books so little time. Thank you Sir for your all your work..you have fast forward us all.

Thank you ! Enjoyed the video very succinct.

Brian, very well done! Great summary of major points in the book. Audie

Your reviews are the best.

I can’t believe this guy has only 100 thousand subscribers..he’s just awesome

fantostic summary!!! Thank you!!

One of the best book I've ever read

Great video. Thank you so much. !!

You are a really fantastic speaker and that’s inspiring! I want to get better and public speaking! I take it you have been doing it a long time. I got this book after seeing your review and just can’t wrap my head around the concept of being this outcome-driven because I tend to over plan and over analyze. I prefer a process oriented approach so that I can see immediate rewards. I recommend the book “Fail Fast, Fail Often” instead. It has great success stories to serve as role models like how Gary Erickson came up with Cliff Bars by enjoying life riding his bike and how Jack Dorsey came up with Twitter and Fourspace. Impressed by your reading list and productivity too, Brian!

You're doing an amazing jobs. Subscribed!!!!

just wonderful..God bless you..keep up the good work...

Best One Thing summary on YT

Great video!

This book changed my life

Thanks for a very good summary

Excellent book + ideas + great presentation. A tip when time blocking for beginners = block time when u either work on ur goal or do anything!

Great video, learned a lot.

set goal to now .... my big idea .. thanks Brian

you explained it really good...Brian.

Great book thx for refresher as I read it again

Thank you

Hi Brian just wanted to say a big thank for your video. There was something about the phrase "The ONE thing" that resonated with what I was seeking at time. How you show and tell those 5 big key ideas helped slot the pieces of a jigsaw together to reveal the big picture. Just got myself a copy of the book and look forward to diving deeper into the ideas - although like inside cover I`ll be sure not to follow two rabbits lol. Have a great week, David

I like the Success List which is similar to my Six Life Intentions and I'll combine that with the Goal Now.

very good job

I have heard of Vilfredo Pareto... the 80/20 is pretty cool. I love the idea of 80/20ing down to the 1.

Brain I was wondering how long did it take you to get through the book the one thing and second I was curious on how you arrived at your big ideas. I really enjoy your take aways from the book and they are obviously right on but I was curious if you when going through the book have a routine on what to look for specifically. The reason why I ask is because there were many things you did not address which I like but was just wondering how you chose those 5 to drill down on ? What made you pass on the path to two great answers and the success Habit ect that are found in the book. My problem is Im focusing on everything in the book instead of doing what you do and brining it into a more narrow focus and Im looking to learn how I can do that as well. Blessings

Awesome! Cheers!!!

Woooow Thank You

Thanks Brian, I am so happy that you are back in action. I feel a lot of inspiration when you share. I missed the live calls we did in 2013 they really were a domino force in my life. I Love the Maker vs. Manager idea too. I have been thinking lately, how can I excel when I do not have time to think, create -MAKE. I also love the goals to NOW. The only part I am struggling to get my brain around is the Extreme 80/20. I am not clear on how to do it. I understand the concept, but I am not sure how to take it form concept to practice. I get the Goal to NOW, maybe it is just the same thing. Can you give an example?

One of my favorite books and this video sums it up precisely. So easy to get wrapped up in the today/tomorrow mentality and overlook the master play. Thanks Brian for putting these videos together.

Good stuff.

if you read darren hardy compound effect and one thing and other books how you put in action ? you decide for one book? sorry for the bad english

Awesome talk Brian. I know what the one "someday" goal is. But the someday goal requires a few goals that seem unrelated to each other and have almost equal contributions to the someday goal. For example: get rich, be confident, etc. How can I select the 5 year goals out of these unrelated goals? Thanks a lot!

Hey, towards the end of the video you said "there's more in the philosophers note" but where is it? I can't find it anywhere in the philosophers notes on your website...

when you drew the dominoes you drew a perfect linear increase! great book though

Brian! great explanation. I wonder if you'd like to consider going pro representing The ONE Thing Certified Workshop? Let me know I'd like to meet you either way. Great video. You could help a lot of people.

Brian Johnson is great. Loved it because YOU made it easy to understand, fun & got on with it....ive subbed you.. Is it still worth buying the book now?.:-)

Brian, you may also appreciate ideas in the book Measure What Matters on OKRs. Cheers!

man you nailed it. this is too good that i decided to download it offline. thank you for presenting the boook.

Nice summary. Sounds great. However, I think the 'goal now' step needs to be supplemented with the notion of flexibility. I hasten to add that I'm not talking about flexibility with your 'Someday goal'. I am talking about flexibility with the 'means' to this end. Gary seems to advocate a path that is too rigid. Now this would be fine if our circumstances and opportunities remained the same but the reality is that sometimes obstacles get in the way and sometimes new opportunities present themselves. So, if we take our monthly goal for example, it might help me to reach my 'someday goal' - sometimes. However, if I had had a bad accident or won a lot of money these new circumstances may mean that there are now better ways of reaching my 'Someday goal' than that suggested by my 'monthly goal'. Today's world is very dynamic and we need to be able to adapt. However, I concur with the notion of always aiming for your 'someday goal' and making sure your daily activities are taking you in that direction. Thanks.

I'm glad i found tie excellent channel thanks to a fella named "Christopher G" on an Amazon book review of this book. He recommended us go check out your review because this book was horrible. 'It's beyond unfortunate, because the question is a great formulation, for gaining focus and clearing the bottleneck that most of us are limited by. You just won't gain anything from the book.' Personally, i thought there were alot of amazing things in it and loved it. Thanks

You should mention that everyone should READ dat awesome book. Great video anyway :)

Hey Brian! Fantastic video man. Thanks for the share. How would you go about finding your big "someday" goal if you're still not sure what that is?

Great bookk, i just read it. I just think you missed a key message of the book "Purpose, Priority, and Productivity"

Can you give concrete examples of the Domino effect that are relevant to me? Of course I'm going to work on the highest priority and urgent task first, but that doesn't create a domino effect.

50+ dominoes and the chalk can't even handle it.

Maybe for your content app(handy) is a better option than a website. :)

I'm All about it

Please give concrete examples of the 80/20 rule followed by the 80/20 rule again. I'm and employee not an entrepreneur so I'm looking to apply that in my personal and professional life. This rule is so well known so I'm looking for some uncommon knowledge that can apply to anyone.

That dominoes thing changed my perspective of taking actions

Guru Johnson, Does Mrs. Alexandria call you "Big Daddy"? You are making some great videos Guru! Great presentations and great subject matter! Can't playa hate; must appreciate! Guru 'Big Daddy' is in the temple.....ahem house! I do not want Mrs. Alexandria to accuse me of giving you a big head!!!

Hi Brian, I watched most your videos and thank you for being an inspiration. This reminds me of Uniqueability Concept of Dan Sullivan and Dharma from Hinduism. Thank you for the wisdom you are sharing!
