Book Description

Publication Date: May 4, 2011

Why is it that some people make dream after dream come true, while others just continue dreaming and spend their lives building dreams for someone else?

One simple reason: those that are "successful" have found their SLIGHT EDGE!

The Slight Edge is not just another self-help, motivation tool of methods you must learn in order to make it up the path of success. It simply shows you how to create powerful results from the simple daily activities of your life, by using tools that are already within you.

What do you need to make that happen? Discover that one thing that will help you achieve that goal, realize a life-long dream or propel you up the ladder to success.

Once you've got it, then you will discover how your philosophy... creates your attitude... creates your actions... creates your results... creates YOUR LIFE!

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 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.

Our favorite endorsements are from our readers:

I have read personal-development books for over 20 years and I can say this is the one that tied them all together. It is so easy to read and understand, and so powerful in the simplicity.
--Mike Bishop, Wilsonville, OR

I use this philosophy throughout my day. I ve become a better person all around. I was able to correct my negative outlooks. I m a better role model for my children, my health is getting better, I m more connected spiritually, my relationships are improving, and my business is thriving. It is a must-have and a must-read.
--Pedro Garcia, Middletown, NY

This book is one of the best I have ever read. It is amazing how such a simple concept can mean so much over the long run. I am using this book in a study group and we are all loving it. If you only read 1 book this year, this should be that book.

Like another reviewer said, this book should be required reading in school. It really is the creme de la creme of success books -- covers all the bases and hits the points without overkill. The author speaks openly and positively, and the tone is down to earth. I'm giving four family members a copy for Christmas!

For more mature readers of this book, it is likely that Olsen will recommend positive actions that you have already established as habits. I admit it was a nice ego booster to get the validation. :) One of them is to be a continuous learner, and at the moment, enjoying reading "Becoming a Person of Influence" by John Maxwell and Jim Dornan. Excellent book that shares the secrets of creating and reproducing positive influencers in this world.

Key Learnings:
I needed to hear again for the billionth time how goal setting is so very important and to look at your (five or so) goals every single day. To cement this habit I ordered the book "Wishcraft" which other Amazon reviewers touted as the best on goal planning/organization. (So eagerly awaiting that to arrive and maybe I'll update this post later. . .)

This book also conveyed the attitude needed towards failure. I knew that I needed more rah! rah! cheerleading on this topic, so I purchased "Go For No! . . ." which is a short little book (readable in one hour.) "Go For No!" could have been more concise, but the author got the job done with his visual failure chart and how you know when you've mastered and properly use the fear of failure to your maximum benefit.

The "Slight Edge" gave a nice example of how to conduct planning and when to know when to stop. I also learned about the importance of establishing and maintaining a Master Mind group. While I've known the importance of relationships, holding regular meetings with a Master Mind Group is an excellent concept to regularly obtain the benefit of "two, three, and four heads are better than one."

Edit 1/11/12: Recommend adding "What to Say When You Talk to Your Self" in combination with this book. Self-help/success books will only give you temporary momentum if you do not establish consistent positive thinking and this author tells you how to do it.

My Bible! December 19, 2011
Format:Paperback
I love this book! It has been a complete lightbulb moment over and over again in this book. Everything made sense and Jeff Olson puts the Slight Edge in a perspective that I haven't ever seen in before. It was just that little extra effort doesn't seem like that much of anything, but compounded over time really makes a huge difference. He gives a lot of great stories and examples. I also love how he says over and over again: is it easy to do? yes. is it easy not to do? yes. It's so simple! I've gone over this book 3 times now. Thank you so much, Jeff Olson!
