Summary
The Slight Edge is a way of thinking， a way of processing information that enables you to make the daily choices that will lead you to the success and happiness you desire。 Learn why some people make dream after dream come true， while others just continue dreaming and spend their lives building dreams for someone else。 It’s not just another self-help motivation tool of methods you must learn in order to travel the path to success。 It shows you how to create powerful results from the simple daily activities of your life， by using tools that are already within you。
In this 8th anniversary edition you’ll read not only the life-changing concepts of the original book， but also learn what author Jeff Olson discovered as he continued along the slight edge path: the Secret to Happiness and the Ripple Effect。
This edition of The Slight Edge isn’t just the story， but also how the story continues to create life-altering dynamics—how a way of thinking， a way of processing information， can impact daily choices that will lead you to the success and happiness you desire。 The Slight Edge is “the key” that will make all the other how-to books and self-help information that you read， watch and hear actually work。

This is one of those book's whose philosophies would literally stick with me for the rest of my life。 Its so simple and barely noticeable， yet defines the course of your life。 Definitely something to reread every few years。 This is one of those book's whose philosophies would literally stick with me for the rest of my life。 Its so simple and barely noticeable， yet defines the course of your life。 Definitely something to reread every few years。 。。。more

If you are in to Personal Development， this is a must read！ This is a book I will read multiple times to get more and more out of it as I walk my path of Personal Development。

Read this book shortly after turning 24， upon graduating college and joining the workforce。 Perfect book for that time。 Read in a day while my car was being repaired and stuck with me since

This book is fine。 I found it for free， so I am not at much of a loss at reading it。 I only got to page 170 before giving up。I am writing a review because this book uses statistics and misattributed quotes which are not cited and obviously incorrect and left me shaking my head at multiple points in the book。 Otherwise， just reading the first several chapters is sufficient enough to gather all the information you need from the writer。 The message is this: be productive with your time today and ev This book is fine。 I found it for free， so I am not at much of a loss at reading it。 I only got to page 170 before giving up。I am writing a review because this book uses statistics and misattributed quotes which are not cited and obviously incorrect and left me shaking my head at multiple points in the book。 Otherwise， just reading the first several chapters is sufficient enough to gather all the information you need from the writer。 The message is this: be productive with your time today and everyday and in the future you will be in a better place than if you had done nothing。 Very easy to understand and this book is unnecessary。 。。。more

Really loved the things he taught in his book。 Most points weren’t new to me， and it actually reminded me a lot of The Compound Effect by Darrin Hardy。 There were some points that I though Jeff Olson explained very well and I underlined quite a few lines in some chapters。 Glad I read it :） and will refer back to it。 Love the power of small and simple things！

I was really into it for the first 80 pages or so and then I started feeling like I was in a loop。 Repetition over repetition over repetition。 While the concept resonates， I feel like this could have been sharpened up a lot。 I browsed through the rest of the book not feeling like I was missing much new information。

Yet another unnecessarily long book that should have been a magazine article or longish blog post。 Google "kill your clone" or "tiny habits"， and save yourself hours。 Yet another unnecessarily long book that should have been a magazine article or longish blog post。 Google "kill your clone" or "tiny habits"， and save yourself hours。 。。。more

Most relevant and useful personal development Book I，ve ever encounter， one of my favorite。s in this genre， its simple， straight to the point。 Slight Edge is a life philosphy， is not a quick trick or tip。 Read it carefully and you shall have the power。

Good idea but a little obvious and the book was very black / white in examples， either you are on the way up or on the way down。 Nothing in between。 Basically slight edge is the idea that small consistent decisions over the long haul are key to success with finances， health， happiness。 Agreed but point was made in first few chapters and book could have been a lot shorter！

همه کتابهای انگیزشی یک نکته و یک اساس مشترک دارن。 ارائه دنیایی که جذابه، قابل لمسه، اما واقعی و در دسترس نیست。 این کتاب هم همینه؛ بر اساس چند داستان کهنه پیشنهاداهایی مطرح میکند که خواننده فکر میکند میتوان به آن رسید، اما عملیاتی نیست، چراکه زندگی خطی نیست。با این حال، این کتاب نسبت به بقیه کتابها نکاتی مطرح میکند که تقریباً در دیگر کتابها یافت نمیشود。 نکات ریز، قابل انجام و قابل لمس。

Main takeaways :- take responsibility for your life and your actions。- small things done consistently compound and give you success。 Things that are easy to do and easy not to do。- create a plan to start and then start modify as you go。

I thought the advice was good， but I disliked the way the book was written。

I found it repetitive。 Thslight edge concept is enough maybe for a TedTalk but not a whole book。 Half the book are testimonies from other Readers。

Current story line and strong characters make The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness interesting and thought provoking。

It is a really good book。 Naming the things we mostly do everything and how easy it is to improve our circumstances。 Essentially sayung that if we dont succeed at xx project， it's mostly because we are not putting in the work。 A different but same book。 Not sure how to describe it but it is a great book to take inventory in every single aspect of your life and helping you build a plan for each to improve your life。 It is a really good book。 Naming the things we mostly do everything and how easy it is to improve our circumstances。 Essentially sayung that if we dont succeed at xx project， it's mostly because we are not putting in the work。 A different but same book。 Not sure how to describe it but it is a great book to take inventory in every single aspect of your life and helping you build a plan for each to improve your life。 。。。more

Do not read unless you are a straight white man。 You will enjoy things like "so many Americans are overweight because they make the same bad decisions every day。 How easy is it to eat healthy？ So easy！ How easy is it to eat junk？ So easy。" Or: "I noticed the Asian woman shining my shoes was reading a romance novel。 How might her life and career be different if she swapped that for a self help book？"Ignorant。 Do not read unless you are a straight white man。 You will enjoy things like "so many Americans are overweight because they make the same bad decisions every day。 How easy is it to eat healthy？ So easy！ How easy is it to eat junk？ So easy。" Or: "I noticed the Asian woman shining my shoes was reading a romance novel。 How might her life and career be different if she swapped that for a self help book？"Ignorant。 。。。more

Great message: the things that lead to success are easy to do; they're easy not to do。 So what will you do？I've heard this idea reiterated in a number of ways， but usually in the opposite direction: life's hard， so choose your "hard。" Being obese is hard。 Being fit is hard。 Your choice。I think this book can cut halved。 Not every chapter needs 20 pages。 The central idea of each chapter is fine， though。 I don't think any ideas need to be removed， I just think this book can more crisp。 Because what Great message: the things that lead to success are easy to do; they're easy not to do。 So what will you do？I've heard this idea reiterated in a number of ways， but usually in the opposite direction: life's hard， so choose your "hard。" Being obese is hard。 Being fit is hard。 Your choice。I think this book can cut halved。 Not every chapter needs 20 pages。 The central idea of each chapter is fine， though。 I don't think any ideas need to be removed， I just think this book can more crisp。 Because what is this book about really？ Is it a list of how-to's？ No。 He says that early on， and so it's not like this book is lengthy and full of lists or methods for success。 This book is about encouraging you to embrace the mindset that will discipline yourself toward success。 Rome wasn't built in a day。 。。。more

کتاب خوبی بود ولی شبیه عادتهای اتمی و اثر مرکب

Although this book could have been a much shorter pamphlet， I believe that the basic concepts are worth a read。 The author is very repetitive; it's as if his publisher said you must have at least 200 pages for a book。 And this book annoyed me somewhat as most self-help books do by putting too much emphasis on success and making money， always doing instead of just being - which takes a lot of spontaneity out of life if one is always on a schedule。 However we all have goals we want to accomplish， Although this book could have been a much shorter pamphlet， I believe that the basic concepts are worth a read。 The author is very repetitive; it's as if his publisher said you must have at least 200 pages for a book。 And this book annoyed me somewhat as most self-help books do by putting too much emphasis on success and making money， always doing instead of just being - which takes a lot of spontaneity out of life if one is always on a schedule。 However we all have goals we want to accomplish， and the idea of doing basic simple steps everyday to achieve one's goals is something we need to hear。 The book is about taking action， being persistent and determined。 Steady and consistent wins the race。 。。。more

This book is so inspiring。 I felt expanded， like something on the inside expanded when I read this book。 Sadly it sat on my very cluttered desk for many months。 I am just so glad I picked it up and committed to reading it。 I read 10 pages a day。 Glad I did。

Es un buen libro， repite varias veces la misma idea pero se entiende el por que， debido a que es necesario realizar ello。

This was an audio that I played over and over in my car。 Absolutely brilliant for mindset about everything， not just building a network marketing business。 You can use the slight edge for health and fitness， everything in life really where you want to improve。
