One Big Thing

After reviewing One Big Thing, a complimentary book from Book Sneeze, I must say I wasn't impressed.  Yes, it has some great points within, but nothing new.  Unfortunately, no one can tell you what that one thing you should be about.  Much encouragement to find your passion, think of what you wanted to do as a youth, pursue dreams, etc is written, but overall I thought the book to be very vague.

As one who likes to have clear directive "to do" list there was nothing that gave me step by step directions as I seek to find that One Big Thing to do in my life.  I think making suggestions as to trying multiple vocations, volunteering positions, experiences would help you narrow down what you do and don't like. 
I did enjoy that every chapter started with various quotes - some poignant and some funny.  
Thankfully, it was a quick read; of course, skipping pages also helps.
