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

Slight Edge - Huge Payoff

Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

The concept of the slight edge is very simple and easy to apply to your life. The recurring theme throughout the book is if you consistently do the simple things which give you a slight edge, over time you will create a huge advantage in life. Neglect doing these things consistently and you will join the majority in life who are doomed to mediocrity.

Jeff Olson, the author, says these things we can do which will give us the slight edge are easy to do. The problem is they are as easy or easier not to do. Take reading a good book on self-development. It should be easy to read just 10 pages per day. But it is slightly easier to not read 10 pages a day. And if you fail to read 10 pages, no alarm goes off. There will be no discernable difference in your life for that one day. Either path - reading or failing to read 10 pages a day will not show any measurable difference in your life for a week or even a month. But continued over a longer period of time, a year or two, the slight difference begins to add up - to make a real difference.

According to Mr. Olson, 5 percent of the population consistently do the simple things which give them a slight edge. The balance, 95 percent of the population fail to do the simple things - and that is the makes all the difference. Five percent enjoy success, the majority in the words of Thoreau, "Lead lives of quiet desperation."

The book is well written in very easy to understand conversational style. There are plenty of success stories from people who understood the impact the Slight Edge principles could have on their lives. These people implemented the concepts and shared how their lives have changed.

You might be tempted to think that the principles are not that impressive since they are so simple and anyone could do them. But that is exactly why they are so powerful. Once you truly understand the power of compounding simple behaviors over time, you will have unlocked the formula for creating the life you truly want.

This is a great book for anyone wanting to dramatically change their life. The concepts are extremely powerful. Part of the magic of turning the Slight Edge principles into massive success is using time as your ally. The longer you employ the Slight Edge principles, the greater the benefit you will enjoy.

The younger you are when you begin to employ the Slight Edge principles, the more time you will have for the benefits to compound.

Anyone who has followed the teachings of Jim Rohn will "hear" a lot of his teachings in this book. If you have enjoyed Jim Rohn, you will certainly enjoy and relate to this book.

Highly Recommended.

Practical, Inspirational, and Easy to Comprehend!

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2011

Verified Purchase

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.

Ein Freund von mir las die deutsche Ausgabe und war begeistert. Das Buch brachte ihn dazu, wieder mit dem Training zu beginnen. Er startete - gemäß Buch - mit 5 Minuten täglich, denn darum geht es ja: fange klein an, jeder Schritt zählt, und bleibe dran! Ich habe mir die englische Ausgabe bestellt, weil ich ganz gerne Englisch lese und diese auch schneller lieferbar war. Ich bin jedoch etwas enttäuscht. Ich mag es gerne schön ordentlich und strukturiert und dieses Buch irritiert mich mit den vielen verschiedenen Schriftarten und -Größen. Für meinen Geschmack ist das einfach zu viel durcheinander gewürfelt und es fällt mir schwer, dieses Buch zu lesen. Aber wie gesagt, inhaltlich ist es gut und lesenswert.

ABRIDGED - innervosente modalità di pubblicare audiolibri!

Reviewed in Italy on July 8, 2017

Verified Purchase

Mi riferisco alla sola inettitudine della moda di registrare audio libro in modalità ABRIDGED!!! Quando resomi conto in ritardo, perché comprato a occhi chiusi, è stata una tragedia!
Un audio libro che audio libro è se registrato parzialmente! Che costerà troppo realizzarlo?
Non è accettabile! Ma che facciamo antologia delle superiori?
Jeff Olson nel suo prologo di mezz'ora all'inizio del primo disco (sono tre CD audio) parla senza rendersi conto del vasto pubblico che lo potrebbe ascoltare oltre ai madrelingua inglesi!
Ascoltato più volte diventa noioso per la sua modalità da oratore...
Per il resto un utile compendio da portare con sé in macchina in mancanza del libro!

The Best Kept Secret of maybe not

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 1, 2013

I like to read books about success and about self development.
Some books are good, some are better, some are not worth your money.
I saw numerous very positive reviews about this book so I bought it.

When I started to read this book, I thought: three star book.
When I was reading further, I said: four star book.
And finally, I'm saying, five star book, definitely!

The thing about this book is, it's down to earth, not the blablabla of: Close your eyes and and you will have the stars in your hand.
On the contrary: I found it like every day of life is, tiny little decisions who will create together and over time a huge change.
It's like the butterfly that creates a storm at the other side of the world, you don't see it immediately and maybe it is not noticeable, but boy, what a storm it can create.
The reading is easy, the diagrams are easy and with the text you will be saying: yep this guy (author) has it all right.
Just take a look where you are now, compare it what you did in the past, does it match up? Of course it does!
Do you want to see changes? Of course you do! Otherwise you wouldn't be reading this, would you?

Now the big question, does it work, does the book contain value?

Big yes!

The big reason why I liked it is because it's written by somebody of the real world for the people in the real world.
For everyday people like you and me, students, workers, independents, unemployed persons, managers, for people with their big and small problems, but with their dream to evolves in their lives, really evolves in their lives, the 5% of all people if you know what I mean.

Is it the only book that you will ever need?
No, if you are in self development and success, I think that you will need more books that will help you with goal setting, visualization, self talk, etc... Don't get me wrong, also this book covers these topics also but it's not the core material, it's not it's main purpose to explain these things.
I have books of Jack Canfield, Tommy Newberry, Stephen R. Covey, Shed Helmstetter, Shakti Gawain and others and for me this book is a real addition to this! It stands on is own and it was just the book I needed, the missing link from goal setting to daily actions and further results in the real life.
It's more or less the icing on the cake! Just the last tiny steps before success kicks in but after your goals settings, visualizations, etc..

I will reread it and reread it and reread it again and again but also working with it.
It contains so much value that it all looks simple and then you discover more and more and more.
You want to be successful? Buy it and you will not regret it!
Down to earth but solid stuff that just works, no empty words, no fancy fairy tales, only results, and now after reading this book you will know why have these results, positive or negative.
But the thing is with this knowledge, you can create your future, not always easy, but at least you have a strong solid friend beside you, a guide in front of you and your trails behind you, read it and be successful!
There are a lot of books out there just trying to get a piece of the success wave, just trying to get your money in their pocket, you need to search for quality.

This one, I can say confidently, this one is a classic, a true classic.
