Book Reviews of The Slight Edge: Secret to a Successful Life
Book Review: Change the little things in your life daily.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've found a book that could literally change your life, improving it by .01% at a time. I read The Slight Edge: Secret to a Successful Life by Jeff Olson and feel confident saying that if you read it, and grasp the concept that you can change any aspect of your life - professional, relationships, finances, health and on and on - through consistent, gradual, incremental progress, you could be in a completely different place in 30, 60, and 90 days from today.
Sound revolutionary? Probably not. But, this book could be the companion text for any other self-improvement path you're on. It's not an easy read, per se. It doesn't have a ton of examples or personal stories, which always helps keep my interest and keep me reading. However, what The Slight Edge may lack in liveliness or personal testimonial, it makes up in usefulness, the possibility for immediate practical application, and the universal nature of the techniques. There's no fluff, no hype, and no "get rich quick" applications (or get thin quick, or get promoted quick...). Solid, proven, dependable, and necessary - those are the best descriptions for the "secret" to success.
This book is still being adopted as a text in companies (and field teams) around the country - and it's a 4-year-old book! Success-driven groups have experienced incredible results by instilling the principles.
The very simple, common sense message inspires you to change the little things in your life daily.
Incorporating it widely in an organization can harness that power and help the group as a whole, as much as it helps the individuals.
The question The Slight Edge answers is "How do some people make dream after dream come true, while others spend their lives building dreams for someone else?" Olson's premise is that the people who achieve their dreams are gauging every choice on whether it serves their goals. That awareness of the slight edge (or advantage) they give themselves daily when making small, seemingly insignificant decisions.
Because it truly leads the reader to reflect on their life, where they are, how they got there, and what choices they can make daily to get to where they want to go, I recommend this book to anyone who aspires to be more, accomplish more, experience more, or have "more" in their life. The path to it is taking responsibility daily for correcting your course bit-by-bit, step-by-step, to get where you want to be.
Summary of The Slight Edge: Secret to a Successful Life
