Today in the Book Lounge, Tom & Karin discuss the book The One Thing with special guest Katrina Aronson. Each week Book Insights creator and author of The 50 Classics Series Tom Butler-Bowdon and Memo’d Program Manager Karin Richey invite you to join their fun and casual conversation about the book of the week. Hear what they love it about, what they don’t, how they rate it, and how it can advance your work and life. You’ll learn why it was selected to be part of the curated list of Book Insights, and what’s new with the book or the author currently. This week, Tom and Karin offer you insight on: *Katrina shares client stories about entrepreneurs who found their "one thing", focused on that, and the results they saw. *Explore examples like Steve Jobs and learn about the things they allowed to fall off the priority list in order to make space for their "one thing." *Learn how anyone can determine their "one thing" and begin to practice prioritizing it instead of mindlessly multitasking while accomplishing very little.

Book Insights are formal, structured summary, analysis and exploration of a bestselling nonfiction book. Each episode is read by a professional voice actor and will introduce a new title selected specifically for its value to your work and life.  Book Lounge episodes are casual discussions about the book, the author, and anything else that comes along through the course of conversation. It’s more of a broad chat about how the book relates to current, everyday life. Should I listen to both the Book Insight and the Book Lounge episode on the same book? Sure! Each episode works fine as a standalone piece, so no requirement to listen to both or to listen in any particular order, but we definitely recommend (and think you’ll enjoy!) both. Think of it like reading a book and liking it so much you want to chat about it on the porch with a friend. That is the vibe at the Book Lounge. Like what you hear?

* Carol Dweck's Mindset: The New Psychology of Success is a very influential book in the field of social psychology.  * It contrasts the ‘fixed’ mindset with the ‘growth’ mindset. With a growth mindset, we see our natural traits or abilities simply as a starting point, and through experience, effort and learning move towards what we want to do or be.  * Our IQ or personality form part of our potential only, rather than restricting us. Life is about the excitement of wondering how far we can go by developing our interests and skills to the max. If the fixed mindset sees our qualities as carved in stone, the growth mindset sees them as a moveable feast.  * Each puts us on quite different paths of thought and action. Dweck’s research shows how the unspoken beliefs we have can affect our chances for self-confidence, happiness and success.

* Working as a waitress, Suze Orman had dreams of opening up a café of her own. She was lucky enough to receive $20,000 to help get her idea off the ground, but less fortunate in her investment choices.  * With no financial know-how, she allowed her broker to put the cash into highly risky investments, and eventually lost it all.  * Fast forward a couple of decades, and Orman is one of America’s most recognized authorities on personal finance, with a thriving financial planning business, many books to her name and a popular television show.  * In Women and Money, she taps into her own transformative experience to explain the obstacles women face, how to educate yourself in money matters, master negotiation and financial organization, and ultimately sort out your finances so that you can be free to focus on what you love.

* When Michael Gerber’s The E-Myth was first published in 1986, the internet was but a glimmer in the eye of Tim Berners-Lee.  * The revised version, The E-Myth Revisited, may have come out in the 21st century, just, but 2001 was still too early for the text to contain any mention of internet pioneers like Mark Zuckerberg or wildly successful YouTubers.  * Nevertheless, this business classic has much to offer entrepreneurs, whether digital revolutionaries or brick-and-mortar store owners.  * Gerber guides readers through the life cycle of a business, from infancy to maturity, and draws the key distinction between working on your business and working in it.  * With more than 25,000 small and emerging business owners as clients, and over two million copies of the book sold, Gerber’s small business theories have stood the test of time.
