The book is about your “One Big Thing” or OBT. Basically, what is the one thing you were put on the earth to do is the question it seeks to solve. Why be average at a bunch of things when you can be great at your One Big Thing? Phil Cooke takes you on a guided tour to discover what your OBT is and how to get out of some of the clutter that is around you.
I found that in this book there was not a lot of new ground covered for me. Admittedly, I read much more of this genre than what the average person does, however, I found it to be a very easy and enjoyable read. Phil Cooke has a writing style that is comfortable and makes you feel like you are having a conversation. The book does accomplish it’s mission which is to help the reader bring focus into their lives.
“One Big Thing” does make you think and challenges you to look at your life and where you are. What is it that you are passionate about? What is it that you want to do with your life? And once you have found those answers it shows you how to focus in on it and take steps in the right direction.
My favorite part of the book was the epilogue titles “You’re Not Crazy.” I absolutely loved the story of Georg Friedrich Handel. This part of the book reinforces on of the other chapters and goes to prove that you are never to old to accomplish what you were born to do.
I also highly enjoyed the quotes throughout this book. I love good quotations and this one is packed full of them.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking to focus their life or who needs helping finding what to focus on. Mr. Cooke has written a book that is easy to relax with and is enjoyable to read. I look forward to reading his previous book “Jolt” in the near future.
