Synopsis

Stop being average at so many things, and become extraordinary at One Big Thing.

What were you born to accomplish with your life? One Big Thing will help you discover what you were born to do and allow it to revolutionize your business, your ministry, and your life. In today’s distracted, digital culture, it’s harder than ever to identify your calling, get your voice heard, and achieve your dreams. To stand out and communicate your ideas and message, you need to cut through the clutter and get noticed. Making that happen means focusing on the one thing that drives you, inspires your passion, and separates you from the pack. If you’ve ever felt pulled in different directions or wondered what to do with your varied talents and interests, Phil Cooke will teach you the secrets of living a life-on-purpose that rises above the noise and leaves a lasting mark on the world.

About this title

About the Author

An internationally known filmmaker, media producer, and speaker, Phil Cooke has also written Jolt!: Get the Jump on a World That’s Constantly Changing and Branding Faith: Why Some Churches and Nonprofits Impact Culture and Others Don’t, which forever changed the way nonprofit and religious organizations use the media to tell their story. Through his media production and branding company (Cooke Pictures in Burbank, California), he’s helped some of the largest nonprofit organizations and leaders in the world engage and influence today’s distracted and disrupted culture. Cooke has lectured at many universities, including Yale, University of California at Berkeley, and UCLA, and blogs for the Huffington Post. At his own blog at philcooke.com, he writes daily about the intersection of media, faith, and culture. Cooke lives in Burbank, California, with his wife, Kathleen.

Review

"Film and TV producer Phil Cooke reads his latest personal development book at a pace that sounds overwhelming at first but that ultimately settles into a good fit for his high-energy message. His speaking style has a confident tone that is convincingly urgent. Once the inspirational beginning of the audio runs its course, Cooke offers an array of accessible ideas on how to identify a single life direction that can express what invigorates us, what we enjoy doing most. A communication expert with Christian roots, Cooke aims this advice squarely at listeners with artistic, performance, or altruistic ambitions—people who often need help not just with narrowing their focus but also with balancing their lives and expressing their talents in ways that will be noticed by their target audience or customer base."
