I enjoyed this

The Narrator was talking really fast when the book was on normal speed. I had to slow the pace down a bit. but overall I really enjoyed the message and the authors viewpoints.

excellent! Easy to apply.

This book makes it practical to determine the purpose for your life. Lots of examples lots of stories. It hit home and within a few chapters I was able to redefine and sharpen what I already knew to be my calling. Well done and well read.

1 Big Thing is #1 for finding your purpose!

What a powe-packed resource this is for helping direct others into their strengths and purpose! Honestly, I bought this a few years ago and started reading it and loved it, however someone needed it more, so I gave it to them. It truly blessed their life!

Now, I have the opportunity to catch up and listen to it on Audible, and it has fully charged me up again! I just finished it and I'm going to listen to it a few more times as I drive. Thank you, Phil, for this amazing, yet practical and empowering book. I'm going to give some away to my graduates to help them discover their 1 Big Thing! -John C. Buckley

Lacks depth

Obviously no one can tell you what your calling is, however, was hoping this book would be more profound. I wanted thought provoking questions to improve my self awareness so that I can figure out what I truly want out of my career. Unfortunately it felt very high level to me…what are you good at? Passionate about? Etc. I finished it just because I spent the credit and it was short. Reading it at least meant I set aside time in a busy schedule to think about what I want from life. There were not many take always for me though.

The narrator talks fast but otherwise was good.

Energetic

The brisk pace of the narrative gave the appropriate energy to the important subject matter. Simple and straightforward, this is a call to right thee ship of your life on its journey to excellence and fulfillment.

The quest is now defined and it is begun...

Inspiring

This really sparked my thought process about what my One Big Thing may be. Maybe after 35 years in the workforce I will finally find my passion!

One Big Question

Phil Cooke is very blunt and straight forward. I enjoy to the point narration and listened straight through. I can understand if someone leaves this book wanting more and I don't think it's the authors fault but rather because it leaves you with the desire to find your one big thing which no one else but you can answer.

This book successfully guides you in directions of various ways that you can discover what you're really good at, what's really in your skill sets, honestly evaluating what you do best. There were many questions he asks for you to answer that I never even thought about.

This book posed more questions for me at the end of it rather than any conclusion, but I believe it's a good thing. He asks what your one big thing is and only the listener can finish the book with their answer.

One of the best book I have read this year!

If you are looking to define your purpose and focus to become productive and fulfill your destiny, this book is for you. I love how simple Phil lay out the path to define your purpose.
