Review

We have an amazing team that was introduced to the Slight Edge 10 weeks ago. We have reviewed and instilled the principles given in the book three times a week for the past 10 weeks and have seen such growth in our group! Also, I would like for him to know that he has made a difference for me personally!! I have applied the Slight Edge and I know my life will never be the same!! By applying the information success in every area of my life is inevitable!! Thank you Jeff Olson!! I love it so much that everyone on my Christmas list is getting a copy of the book. It will be the best gift I ve ever given to my loved one!! --P. Barnett

Our company book club just finished The Slight Edge and really enjoyed it. Thanks so much! --C. Argeris

When I got a copy of the Slight Edge and read it, my life changed. I emailed over 100 Vice Presidents who work in the same company with me and shared my personal story of success with the Slight Edge. They began to order books and do trainings with their teams so I know that the sales are up on the book from my passion with Jeff's work. --P. Jarrett

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply, "a must read"
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2012
Verified Purchase
No matter what your age or station in life, The Slight Edge is a masterfully written and organized book. It absolutely can impact every area of your life - and should.
Having been a technical writer for over 25 years for General Motors, I have a fairly good grasp of well-written and well-organized material. I had read The Slight Edge 2 or 3 years ago. When I saw it on Amazon for the Kindle, I thought - there is a good book to have on my new Kindle. As I read it for the second time, it was like I had never read it before. When I finished it, I was so taken by it that I bought another hard copy so that I could hi-lite it for continuous reference.
I have recommended it to many of my friends - but especially to my 15 grand kids since I wish I had had a book like this when I was much younger.

Well done Jeff Olson!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are in business for yourself its a must have
Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2012
Verified Purchase
Its has made me think differently about how I am working my business.
There is so much information on how we think as
awhole about things. we plant then we want to
harvest but where is the sowing. All farmers know
the 3 step to growing their crop, plant, sow ,
harvest its the same with business.
We are a fast pace world and so we expect results
to come to us just as fast--- But it don't and then we get upset and some give up. Well this book
will help those who want to really work their business
and see the step to how we can see the benifits. I have both forms of this. I listen to the CD in my van
and read the book. The CD is most convenient because you can listen to it while you are doing other things.
I will be getting a few more copies of the CD for my downline to use as well. Like I said its a must have.

I created an Amazon account to purchase the above titled book. I am very happy with my service from Amazon in getting to review the book, order the book and receive the book within a few days of ordering this book from Amazon. Also, I liked the price of the book.
I am reading this book because it was suggested to me by a couple of my family members. I will say that due to work etc. I have not finished reading this book yet, but I am enjoying Jeff Olson as an author. I would recomend using Amazon to anyone wanting a book that they cannot find in book stores. Also, I would recomend this book.

Jeff Olson has done everyone on our planet a great service by providing a terrific insight into how to survice life and prosper. His understanding of life, and being able to present it by means of simple examples, can help people put their lives back on the right track. Mr. Olson explains that each of us is where we are today based upon the decisions/choices we have made in the past and are makeing every single day. Every decision counts. What is also vital to the health of every individual is to DECIDE on a "Main Goal or Purpose for their Life" and to work each day to achieve that main goal, that Dream. A dream which defines their life's DESTINY.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
Probably one of the best books I have read in a while. Truly inspirational to a student, whose life still has a long way to read his goal. Its true, that there is nothing special to those small invisible results, but once compounded over a period of time, it makes all the difference.

I have three years of my college life to go, and hopefully I will see my hardworking ethics be fruitful like a water hyacinth in the next few years. Small baby steps, leading to massive success for the five percent.

I will be one. Even if I cannot attain all my life's desires, at least I will try. Because I believe with that mindset, it will lead me to unexpected positive results. Surprise me.

This is one of those books that reinforce what you already know. Really there is nothing in any self-improvement book that wasn't said first by Dale Carnegie. As with most in this genre, there is a lot of padding to what could essentially be 'a list of 10 things to do to improve your career.' Probably of more value to someone starting a career or switching from employment to self-employment.

Slight Edge is beautifully written. I loved it because you can read it rapidly, the author is a great leader who has proven to be efficient and successful entrepreneur (not only in the well being litteracy...) It gives you advices to take your life to the next level, one very little step at the time. 5 stars all around

Picture yourself doing daily exercise and eating a good balanced diet, as well as spending quality time with your family and friends, now there's more; imagine yourself reading 10 or more pages of a quality book that makes a real difference to your life... wouldn't life be amazing!! Now imagine yourself overweight, not your own fault of course, it's just that you can't help but eat food that is not good for you (easy to do and equally not easy to do!), because you never seem to have the time to relax with your family and enjoy a nice healthy meal. You may also be stuck in the same job, with no career progression, whilst people all around you are earning more and reading material that is helping them move in the right direction, yet you enjoy reading your Mills & Boon, nothing wrong with that, as you have been reading them all your life and you do not know better. Now which life out of the two would you like?

A great book, which continually emphasis the fact, that the choices we make in life can either move us upwards and onwards or alternatively move us downwards, towards ill health, unhappiness and a life of what if's.

After reading this book you will continually be questioning yourself about the choices you have made during the course of the day! Has it helped or hindered me? Yet the results will not be visible immediately, but over time, perhaps when it's too late you may realise all the bad habits you picked during the course of your life have finally caught up with you.

Therefore, can you afford not to have the Slight Edge? The choice as usual is yours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Storming book, that really motivates
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2019

Yep, we all know that being consistent pays off. We know that we are in a society of instant gratification, but to succeed we need to play the long game. We know we should think of the future....

But many of us do not do these things. It is hard to keep going, keep grinding, seeing very little in terms of results.... but if we keep on the path the results will be far greater than we imagine.

This can be diet, health, self improvement, money, love... it doesn't matter. All benefit from doing what you can, consistently.

This book goes in to detail on why this is with many examples. It is perhaps nothing new, but it is more likely to have an impact and get you to change your behaviour, than a motivational meme saying similar things.

My biggest takeaway.... read 10 pages, just 10 pages of a self improvement book a day. It might not seem much, but that is potentially at least 12 books a year. What kind of impact will that have on your life?

Start with this book!
