The Slight Edge Free

Jun 17, 2018 The Simple Philosophy of the Slight Edge. If you save a penny today and double the amount you save each passing day, by the end of the month, you will have earned $10 million dollars! If you improve in any area of your choice just 1% on a daily basis, by the end of the given year, you will be 365% better! That’s the essence of the slight edge.

Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success & Happiness
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.

Perhaps the best personal development book ever

Excellent book ! This is one you have been looking for. This is perhaps the best personal development book I have ever read. The Slight Edge explains, enhances, and supports every other book you will ever read on self development. Read and apply this book first.

Need a book to give encouragement

This book is a constant reminder of the simple things done daily will bring about great success. They are easy to do and easy not to do, but that concept alone has caused me to take the daily action instead of continue procrastinating.

Great book

Well, I have been reading this book for at least a year now and i must say it's well written, vivid, self-explanatory and practical.

I recently finished reading The Slight Edge - Secret to a Successful Life by Jeff Olson.
Below are key excerpts from the book that I found particularly insightful:
1- 'The Slight Edge is not just more good information. It's not another self-help success book packed with some revolutionary 'new best way' of doing things. You don't need that. Nobody needs that. All the 'new and better' information is already available and has been for years. This book is designed to help you use that information. Th..more

First off, if you're looking for something that's well written, don't pick up this book. The author isn't eloquent, is insanely repetitive, obsessed with money, and could have most likely fit the actual content of the book in a tri-fold brochure. However, some of the things that he has to say are powerful, and for that reason alone I finished the book and seek to apply the principles to my own life.
So, what are some of these principle? In short, I'd say the book is about learning how to retrain..more

I heard this guy speak at a business meeting not even knowing who he was, I liked what he had to say and decided to buy and read his book. It was a great read and I am now aware of the slight edge and have added it to my lifestyle and philosophy.

He has a good message which can be summed up as 'little, progressive steps daily' or 'you can't eat an elephant in one bite.'
There, you just read the book.
His examples are heavy handed, boring, shoe-horned and altered to fit his needs, and repetitive.
At one time he uses quantum physics to make his point, then later, he uses gravity in a negative context, over and over and over. Yet, if you've read any quantum physics, you'll know gravity doesn't exist as a force. Thus his writing contradicts its..more

This book and philosophy changed the way I do a lot of things. The simple concept that our actions compound for good or bad is nothing new but Jeff's book does a fantastic job at keeping it simple and makes it something you should think about often. The slight edge in life and business is very real and I think this is a must read for everyone.

The book has one decent premise behind it: make small but continuous changes in a positive direction and over time you're bound to meet success. Is this true? Of course. Do I need to hear nearly every sentence repeat the same idea in almost the exact same way? Compounded by mediocre, and at times nauseating, analogies that don't add anything? N.O.

Aug 11, 2014Trevor rated it liked it · review of another edition

The pity of this book is that, while the overarching message is solid, you have to wade through Olson’s often overbearing self-help rhetoric to dig out the substance. Like most self-proclaimed self-help gurus, he feels the need to talk ad nauseam about how successful he is and how many successful people he’s worked with. “A number of these people [I’ve worked with] have become millionaires, to the point that somewhere along the way I picked up the nickname ‘The Millionaire Maker’” (pp. 25). He a..more

Wow - once I started this book I didn't want to put it down! This book is a MUST read for anyone wanting to achieve ANYTHING in their life! If there is an area of your life that you want to improve..health, financial, relationships, career, etc..then you must read this book. The crazy thing is, we all know the basics of the information shared here. It's not earth shattering new stuff. And yet, I bet, you, like me, aren't applying what we know to be true. This book was like a swift kick in the..more

I've read reviews of this book that complain that it isn't 'well written'. Having read the book for content and context, I put aside these complaints and found a brand new world full of old wisdom. The Slight Edge is common sense brought to life. Mr. Olson speaks specifically about the little things we overlook or put off doing that cumulatively make a HUGE difference - in the end results. The thing is, because they are 'little things' its easy to do them - or NOT to do them - and this is what m..more

The premise of this book is simple, each day we're faced with many seemingly insignificant choices that turn out to be significant after a while. Should I exercise for 20 minutes or sit on the couch watching TV? Should I grab a cup of coffee at Starbuck's every day or should I have coffee at home? Should I start investing money now or wait until later? None of these choices are going to make or break you - today. It's the effects of many, many choices compounded over time that determine where yo..more

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson is a book that is a must read for not only people looking to improve their lives, but for people who need motivation and support. The Slight Edge is by far one of the best self-improvement books that I have ever read. The concepts about success and improvement are so simple, yet I needed to read them in a book to understand them. This book has given me a foundation for a success philosophy that will bring all my dreams of success into reality.
For instance, Olson sta..more

Sep 11, 2015Emily rated it it was ok · review of another edition

I could sum up this book in a few sentences: success is built by making tiny daily decisions that lead you in the direction you want to be. Every action you take either moves you toward or away from success. The actions are all 'easy to do, but also easy NOT to do.' Just like how a penny, doubled each day, increases slowly at first and then builds to be a fortune over time, so can your small, easy actions (like saying no to that donut) lead you to success over time (being healthy).

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson is an amazing book! It is literally loaded with some of the best core advice to succeed I've read in a long time.
The book was easy to read, kept me wanting to continue!
There is so much positive candy in this book that one cannot feel like they aren't empowered to achieve anything after reading it. What I love is that the basic principle of this book is not just applicable to business but to anything in your life. If you want a better body, better marriage, better b..more

This can be a really useful book if read as the starting point of one's journey for success and can be drastically boring for those who have been on the road before.
I can say with great confidence that this book is merely a compilation of other's works specially Jim Rohn and I found almost nothing genuine from the author himself.
The whole point of the book could be summarized in this sentence: 'Success is daily positive and seemingly insignificant actions repeated over time which are easy to do..more

This book made me realize many things about myself that I desperately needed to change. The greatest or I should say worst thing was snoozing! I have been a snooze alarm addict from the earliest memories of ever having to get out of bed in the mornings. I heard this is deception. I thought that was crazy! I read this book & never hit the snooze again! It's been probably 3-4 yrs now. I love how the phrase, 'It's easy to do, & easy not to do' is repeated throughout the entire book. Habits..more

Nov 28, 2015Katelyn Smith rated it liked it

I would say that the principles taught in this book definitely deserve a 5! I love the principle of small, consistent choices changing your life. And even though the idea seems obvious, Olson does help his audience understand why so many of us don't do follow through with our goals (action items are simple to do and simple not to do). The writing style was pretty obnoxious a lot of the time and definitely self-aggrandizing. This screamed 'self-help' to me and also sounded like a pyramid scheme,..more

Listened to an audiobook.
To be honest, 'The Slight Edge' dould be summed up in a leaflet of four pages. The premise of the book is
-take action
-don't sacrifice long term goals over short term satisfaction
-'easy to do, but also easy not to do
-take action
-have a plan, do it and review it
-take action
The last part of the books is a rehash of well known platitude, served as a holy wisdom and not supported by any scientific research.

'Easy to do, just as easy not to do' will be forever ingrained in my mind ..
That phrase has already aided me in making numerous healthy changes in my daily patterns. I love it because it's a realistic reminder of the small but compounding impact of every single small decision.
It may feel a bit verbose at times, but all those extra anecdotes serve their purpose .. Great book!

Jun 12, 2015Adam rated it it was amazing · review of another edition

This is so much better than the majority of personal development books. Practical, focused, clear--Olson's book is the kind of work that subtly shifts an open reader's thinking and enables him or her to make small but effective changes that reap big rewards in the long run. I will remember this book for a long time.

Feb 22, 2017Mon Maryum rated it liked it

You think there's success in 'someday' and failure never touches when you're not taking the tiny, productive action that is easy to ignore. Wrong. You're always on the move with either losing or winning- winning/losing is a habit, not some quantum leap. But winning/losing is like doubling a penny every day. At first, it's just a penny; it's a small price you're paying. But when you continue your new habits, it gets 'the ball rolling' and it's easier and much more natural to do the new activity (..more

Jul 30, 2017Sean Liu rated it did not like it · review of another edition

The idea is simple: consistently doing small, seemingly insignificant habits will lead to huge, positive outcomes / conversely, not doing them get lead to huge, negative outcomes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the idea, but the book is awful. Even beyond half-way the author keeps hyping up this idea of 'the slight edge' (which is painfully obvious he's trying so desperately to make it a catch-phrase), saying things like - and I'm paraphrasing - 'you know that thing you've always wanted? The..more

The message in itself is insane because it is truly life changing. HOWEVER the author always talk money and conceptual happiness, is way too repetitive and talks too much about his concept without ever giving more than 1 or 2 habits to have. To sum up you NEED to read this book and to get bored in a way to get the information and complete on your own with the practice. It is simply a trigger.

Sep 08, 2017Wendy Henning rated it really liked it · review of another edition

I like a personal development book every so often. While I usually agree that the ideas within such books are valuable, I rarely follow through. This one, however, aligns nicely with my lazily determined way of thinking. 'Slow and steady' is philosophically comfortable, and this book shows you the importance of each of those components. It pairs nicely with a book I recently read about kaizen, the philosophy of continuous improvement.

Jan 12, 2019Jasper Burns rated it did not like it · review of another edition

I agree with everything Jeff says. That is partially why I found this book so useless.
He does a good job organizing the book—I like the method of presenting his information, some stories backing it up, and then some summarizing concepts at the end. This is good for drilling in the point. However, the messages are all so obvious and uninteresting as to not be of little use. The Slight Edge, although not really well defined and with apparently shifting definitions throughout the book, seems to be..more

Ok. I know I don't read personal development books and here I am, reading two of them in two weeks.
But this book did something the others didn't manage to do. It spoke directly to my philosophy, or at least the one I try to cultivate. It was the personal development book I was secretly waiting for without knowing it already existed.
