The One Truth: Elevate Your Mind, Unlock Your Power, Heal Your Soul
Wall Street Journal Bestseller
The One Truth is the One Thing that Explains Everything The One Truth , by 14x best-selling author and thought leader Jon Gordon, guides you on a path to discover revolutionary insights, ancient truths and practical strategies to elevate your mind, unlock your power and live life to the fullest. The One Truth is that our state of mind, the thoughts we think, the words we say, the life we live, the power we have and everything we experience is ultimately influenced by oneness and separateness. As you learn about the unseen forces that lower your state of mind, separate and weaken you and the hidden power that elevates your mind, unites and strengthens you, you’ll see life through a new lens, think with more clarity, confidence and act at higher level. Once you know the One Truth, you’ll see how it impacts leadership, teamwork, mindset, performance, relationships, addictions, social media, anxiety, mental health, healing and ultimately determines what you create and experience. For example, a team that is divided is disconnected and powerless. A team that is united is connected and powerful. The same applies to you. When you feel a sense of oneness, connection, and unity you feel strong. When you feel separate, you feel disconnected and weak. The truth is, we are not meant to go through life feeling anxious, disconnected, insecure, cluttered, chronically stressed, worried and sad most of the time. We are meant to heal the hole in our soul and become whole. We are meant to live with hope, clarity, power, purpose, and confidence. The One Truth will show you how!

"The One Truth: Elevate Your Mind, Unlock Your Power, Heal Your Soul" by Jon Gordon explores the concept that our state of mind plays a crucial role in our experiences and success in life. It emphasizes that external circumstances don't determine our happiness or well-being; rather, it's our mental state that shapes our responses to life's ups and downs.
The book discusses the two primary states of mind – low and high – and how our thoughts can influence these states. Negative thoughts are characterized as "The Five D's" – doubt, distortion, discouragement, distraction, and division. Positive thinking, on the other hand, leads to higher mental states filled with clarity, focus, and confidence.
The central idea of the book is the concept of oneness, which transcends different traditions and fields. It suggests that we are meant to live in communion with ourselves, others, nature, and the universe. When we recognize and embrace this oneness, we experience positive thoughts, love, power, and confidence. Conversely, when we feel disconnected and separate, we are more susceptible to negative thoughts, fear, weakness, and negativity.
The book also emphasizes that our connection to a higher power, often referred to as God, is essential for our well-being and performance. It describes this connection as a relationship rather than a religious affiliation. Disconnecting from this divine connection can lead to distress and a cycle of negativity.
To maintain a positive mental state and experience growth and success, the book suggests daily practices that involve prayer, meditation, reflection, reading scripture, and gratitude. These practices help us stay connected to our essential, connected nature and experience well-being and success in our daily lives.
Overall, "The One Truth" encourages readers to recognize the power of their mindset and the importance of their connection to a higher power in shaping their experiences and achieving personal growth and success.
This book deserves a one-star rating because it presents a collection of clichéd and oversimplified self-help concepts without offering any original insights or practical advice. The book relies heavily on vague spiritual and metaphysical ideas while lacking concrete, actionable strategies for personal growth and success. The repetitive nature of the text and the author's tendency to reiterate the same concepts make the reading experience tedious and unengaging. Additionally, Gordon's insistence on the importance of a divine connection might alienate readers who do not share his religious beliefs. Overall, the book falls short of delivering meaningful guidance, and its lack of depth and substance warrants a one-star rating.

The one truth I learned from this read was that it was worth only one star.
What went right? The beginning (not the introduction), and my like of it did not last for more than a few pages. That is the only nice thing I can say.
What went wrong? Mental health is complex. I felt that the theories discussed casually dismissed the real struggles people go through when dealing with it. It isn’t as simple as thinking only positive thoughts and praying to God. I wish it were.

I loved the message in this book, and my only criticism is that it felt like the middle section was just repeating the beginning section, but it was still a great read!
Read
July 16, 2024I’ve read two short Jon Gordon books in the past couple of weeks and found both to be fascinating cultural documents in our era of contemporary discontents. Both The One Truth and The Coffee Bean came recommended as tools to help shake up the mental health doldrums that my family and I have been individually and collectively experiencing after losing my brother in tragic circumstances earlier this year. I’m not sure I would endorse Gordon’s writings as the best way to tackle a problem so complex and nuanced, mostly because Gordon paints with the broadest brush imaginable for an audience as varied as corporate leaders, athletes, students, families looking to strengthen their connections to each other, Christian communities, and people dealing with acute mental health concerns (whether the books achieve their goal of speaking to such a wide audience, I’ll leave to others to confirm, but certainly the sales numbers alone suggest that Gordon’s writings connect with many people).
In The One Truth, Gordon lays out “the one truth,” his purported insight that is teed up in the introduction as a unifying framework for literally every aspect of life, living, the inner workings of the soul, the machinations of the world, and the fabric of the Universe. Quite a claim! Over 160 breezy pages, the reader is led through a somewhat repetitive outline of Gordon’s thoughts about how the brain functions, what forms the spiritual basis of thoughts and feelings, and how to “tune in” to a “higher frequency” and maintain a “high state of mind” to fend off negativity, depression, and low levels of performance. I put certain of Gordon’s terms of art in quotes, because he has a tendency to develop them into conceptual devices that are returned to again and again. But don’t fret that it might be a little too technical for your liking; Heidegger this ain’t.
For proof that all this is a little less profound than its lofty ambitions, look no further than The Coffee Bean. I read the whole “book” in 15 minutes. It elaborates on a metaphor about a coffee bean—which, when put in hot water, affects its surroundings instead of being affected by them—by never really elaborating on it at all. The slim volume lays out example after example of someone facing a trial in life, remembering to “be the coffee bean,” and then experiencing essentially an instant turn around thanks to the change of perspective.
None of these messages alone are problematic or even particularly falsifiable. But there are a few leaps of logic that caused me pain. For example, when Gordon discusses the “origins” of negative thoughts, he dismisses the notion that negative thoughts might “come from” you, the thinker, by flatly saying that we would never want to think negative thoughts so how could they come from us. I’m not even sure where I would start in responding to this; first of all, what does “come from” mean? Second of all, why would there need to be any relationship whatsoever between what we desire to happen to us and what actually does? Here, as with other Gordonian missteps, I began to see the seams of the self-help world showing. Like the prosperity gospel or the Tik Tok pop psychology of manifestation, the engine at the heart of the self-help world is pointing out that other people seem to be getting things right and then claiming that perhaps the key is just to be thinking “better.” The greatest shortcut imaginable is the invisible labor of changing one’s mindset. Of course, the state of mind is an incredibly powerful asset and detriment, depending on its status. But I’m struck by how all these healers and practitioners of the “feel better” science are able to dodge accountability because of the vagueness of their promises and the unproveable nature of their remedies.
All of the above may sound very curmudgeonly, so let me close by saying: I am genuinely impressed and proud of Gordon for providing written material that has helped people endure through difficult circumstances or build the foundation of stronger teams and individuals. To the extent that Gordon’s books have been a catalyst for positive change, they are worthwhile in their own right. My skeptical follow-up questions are ancillary to the point. If Jon Gordon’s books work, they work!

If my sister sees this, tell her I read a spiritual book just to shut her up. Personally, I would have renamed the book to something else, but it had SOME decent points. It lost me at 'god is a relationship, not a religion' 2/5.
“The greatest gap in the world is the gap between knowing and doing.”
Takeaways:
- Traffic doesn't determine how you feel. Your state of mind does. A situation that frustrates you one day might not faze you the next. Your external circumstances don’t define your response – your mental state does.
- You’re probably familiar with the two states of mind that humans oscillate between: low and high. A low state of mind is characterized by fear, anxiety, doubt, and cluttered thinking. A high state of mind has more clarity, focus, and confidence. Naturally, the higher our mental state, the better we feel and perform.
- Minimizing lows, maintaining highs
- Negative thoughts come in the form of one of “The Five D’s” – doubt, distortion, discouragement, distraction, and division. Doubt breeds insecurity, distortion alters truth, discouragement leads to giving up, distraction turns our attention to the wrong things, and division separates us from our best selves.
- There’s a reason why successful addiction programs create community and encourage connection to a higher power – doing so helps wake its members up from the delusion that they’re alone.

This book was recommended to me by someone reading it, and I assumed it was going to be a method for self improvement but it’s very proselytizing.

The author did exactly what he aimed to do. I was given this book by a family at church, which was so kind. Very practical applications of love casting out fear. Simple principles for a positive state of mind.

My rule of thumb with books like this is to find one takeaway that could be valuable for me or for someone else I counsel. While I found much of this book to be challenging at best, I did find a few tidbits that I think are decent advice even if they are not novel.
I had two primary issues with this book. First, was the religious nature of the book. I am a pastor and can appreciate that spirituality is necessary for achieving productivity. Spirituality and thankfulness help individuals deal with challenges and stay focused on goals. My issue with this book, like so many others, when it comes to the religious aspect is the lack of applicability. There are many vague references of needing to be "one with God." But in reality most people do not know how to apply this sentiment much less achieve it. Furthermore, the book completely ignores those who might believe but have religious trauma.
The second issue, the bigger one, was the author ignorning true mental health disorders and possibly even discounting the need for mental health treatment. I am giving the author the benefit of the doubt that he did not mean to completely ignore and discount what people go through every day. However, he did say enough to make it sound like he believes that you can just "fix" your mental health with positive thinking.
The book was short, and not all of the content was bad, but I would be very cautious about taking this one on.

Jon's latest book is not like any of his other books. In the past the text conveyed a strong message by wrapping the details into a very readable story. This is not that! It's three books woven into one. The first part deals with with aspects of psychology in understand the basis of good and evil, positive and negative inputs how and what influence they have on how we respond both in the short and long term and what effect it has on us as human beings. Bombardment of constant negative thoughts push us deeper into a hole while positive thoughts push us to positive responses. Negative removes us from people and positive draws us to people. Part II he gets into how our receptors (eyes and ears) are constantly based on different level of frequencies that are received and interpreted by the brain. Note: garbage in garbage out. Throughout Jon ties oneness and separateness where negative pushes you to separateness and positive towards oneness. Part three ties everything together and discusses the spirituality of everything discussed throughout. It is an awesome, eye opening read for everyone.

I started off reading, “The Energy Bus”, and that’s when I was hooked!!
Every used book store our family goes to, we look for Jon Gordon books. Anytime we can get our hands on his mindset, we’re there. His mindset can be used for anything and it really helped me with my negative thoughts and how to keep them at bay. My husband and I have two teenagers and they are learning too!
I love how he gives us many ways to start doing what he does. He shows us that he did it first and explains why it works.
There are so many people asking the question, “how do we make this world a better place”, and the answer to that is in this book!
I will be reading this again and again and will be applying the concepts he teaches. I see things differently now and all I can say is if you haven’t read this book yet, please go get it and read it. While you are there, grab two books and give it to a friend or let them read your book when you’re done. It will change your life and in a very good way. ❤️
I highly recommend this book and any other book he writes.

Pop Psychology
I liked several points in this book. Especially the discussion of good and evil equating to oneness vs separatness, but the discussion is nothing new. I did not like his antenna analogy that we pick up thoughts like an antenna, however, I do agree that "like attracts like". I just don't subscribe to the idea we are helpless in what we think, how we think and our respective decisions and following behavior. The spiritual God parts sound like children's stories. Further, there isn't really much solid research behind his discussion of neuroscience and neuropsychology and I have read several articles of recent research that conflict with the authors thesis regarding where thoughts come from. It read as if he wanted the reader to take his word for it. You can decide for yourself.

In Book 1, Jon Gordon introduces you to The One Truth in true Jon Gordon fashion with his sports analogies and athlete state of mind.
In Book 2, He slowly introduces the role of faith and God in a gentle manner and repeatedly mentions their importance. But maintains focus on business applications and changing one’s mindset. At the end of Book 2, he acknowledges that Book 3 may not be for everyone and that’s okay. Choose to read on…or don’t…
Book 3 is an outline of connecting with God and how to weave Him into our daily lives in an easy to follow manner.
I appreciated Jon’s willingness to share his personal struggles and admits his own faults. We all can learn from this book.

I love Jon Gordon's books. Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me. The first half had some good ideas...I like the low vs high mind, and was looking forward to his section on how to elevate your mind. He started off with discussing love and connection, and I felt like it was spiritual but inclusive. Then, it devolved into proselytizing. He started going on about scriptures and the Bible and relationships with God and Jesus. Basically, his answer is to become Christian and follow that God.
This could have been a great book...the beginning was a solid 4 to 4.5. But he alienates everyone who isn't Christian in the last half.

Not my favorite Jon Gordon book, it became pretty spiritual and I think my expectations were different since I've read his business focused books so take that for what it's worth. I did appreciate the reinforcement of the importance of overcoming the 5 D’s (doubt, distortion, discouragement, distraction, and division) and to take intentional and specific steps to bring calmness, hope, purpose, and reassurance to the team.

Jon Gordon shares practical advice and strategies to help you overcome fear, negative thoughts, and distractions, leading you toward greater peace, confidence, and success in all areas of life. A short but powerful read, The One Truth offers eye-opening insights on how to shift your mindset from fear and division to strength and unity. It’s packed with practical, juicy advice that’s both helpful and inspiring.

As usual Jon Gordon knocks it out of the park!! This book is a MUST READ! So simple and yet SO TRUE! Will be sharing this with our school this next school year. So many quotes in this book, I have underlined and highlighted almost every page.
"It’s not the circumstances it’s always your state of mind and the circumstances has no actual power over you."

A good book for anyone that wants to connect to God. All is within you and the simple book will make it clear for you. Easy language to understand and digest.
As for me, maybe I read too many of Gordon's books, that this one didn't hit as strong. Maybe this book wasn't as detailed as his previous books.
Still a good read.

Nice. I love how positive it is and that Gordon makes a very strong case for Christ. Makes a lot of good points in his book actually but because I'm so far down my spiritual journey I thought the concepts were very basic. But thats ok! Basic = foundation and I hope this brings more people to Christ.

The One Truth helps in the understanding of how we function in the world. It showed how those that are struggling are more alone in their world and how God wants us to be together. It was a book that helped to explain how those that are mentally struggling need to spend time with others and God.
September 9, 2023
Great stuff from Jon Gordon. It was particularly interesting to hear how Christianity became such an important influence in his life. This is a must read for people who have a relentless self-critic talking to them in their head.

A must read.
I heard you on a podcast,I don't remember which one, but I was inspired to buy your book. I just finished it this morning. Many pages I read over and over, to absorb the words. Thank you. It was exactly what I needed to read.

This book was inspiring. It taught me how to pause and meditate and slow down and see the truth in every situation..the one truth points to God and him being the one truth that settles all our fears and anxiety. I was blessed to read it.
June 14, 2023
Fantastic read. Jon Gordon digs deep to uncover the truth and importance of oneness and being connected to something other than oneself.
