THE COMPOUND EFFECT (10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION)

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants success in life I am not a great believer in get rich quick schemes, lose weight in 7 days, love at first sight, etc and so does this book. This book is very different from the nonsense that media fills your mind everyday. The best thing about the book is that it teaches you to work hard. There is no such thing as an overnight success. You have to work hard considerably everyday to make the compound effect work in favour of you. According to the Author, the Compound Effect is always at work. You can make it work for you or it will work against you. He gives the example of three friends. One friend tries to improve himself everyday. He spends some time with his wife, walks for half an hour everyday, cuts 125 calories less in his diet and reads motivational books everyday. The second friend does nothing and is a little bitter about life. The third friend rarely exercises, spends enormous amount of hours watching TV everyday, takes his wife for granted and has a cookie and beer everyday to enjoy life. The result after 2 and a half years: The third friend is now obese, has got health problems and loses his job and wife. The second friend remains the same and now is more bitter than before. The first friend remains trim, has a happy relationship with his wife and gets a job promotion. You can see the compound effect in action. The Author gives lots of examples like the one above. The plane analogy, the pump analogy and the steam engine analogy. It is the small things we do in life that makes the biggest of differences. You don't become obese overnight nor do you lose your wealth instantly. It is all a compound effect of bad decisions taken almost everyday over a considerable period of time. Most importantly the Author has some very practical suggestions to implement good habits and get rid of bad ones. So if you want to lose weight, what many people do, is to buy an expensive gym membership, new gym clothes and shoes to exercise. They work out intensively for an hour a day for 7 days. Then they give up disappointed with the results. Instead the Author suggests that it is better to walk 10 minutes a day and slowly increase it till it becomes a habit like brushing your teeth. In this way you will have long lasting impact for your health. The Compound effect is always in action be it finance, business, health, relationships or your spirituality. It is also important to take things slowly. Work everyday and without burning out, you will have the compound effect giving you the biggest momentum in a few years time. I am already implementing his advice in my life and feel that in taking things slowly, I am able to adopt healthier long lasting habits.I strongly recommend this book to anyone who wants success in life whether it is being healthy, relationship improvement or your wealth.

The WHY concept is awesome. After reading that particular topic, I've kept on asking myself WHY for most of the things I wanted to do.... Most of the answers I had are just vague and irrelevant which meant I didn't have a logical reason at least to convince myself ... Good book ...

Wish I had read it earlier in my life. Easy to read and follow. Simple advices which can be followed.

Very good book... Original product

Nice read for money realated cocepts.

Very interesting to read

💯A book for you if you are really looking for small changes in your life which will build up to a life you are dreaming of 💯Best time to pick up this book: I would recommend this book for beginners, teenagers, for those who are in their early twenties and for those who haven’t read much of such self help books who find such books quite tedious and difficult to follow 💫Highlights: Fixed chapters for putting small things that would add up to action, building habits, tracking your budget, on making choices that most of us take daily without considering much of their consequences, step by step instructions on how we can improve our plan and performance Illustration of the concepts with easy, realistic examples and diagrams This book will make you realise again what makes successful people successful, the wholesome effect of the choices and habits we keep. The concept may not be new to us as is explained to us time and again by our parents and almost everyone we know but we hardly listen to. It’s high time we stop comparing our lives with the most seeming happy and popular people and actually learn a few good tips on how to make our lives easier reading such basic books.

Ho deciso di leggere questo libro pur sapendo già quale sia la magia del “compound effect” e praticandolo già nel mio quotidiano. Ciò nonostante l’ho trovato un libro molto interessante e che consiglio di leggere a tutti coloro che sono alla ricerca di una svolta nella loro vita. Non si smette ma di imparare. Consigliato!

Implement the things you read and it will make a difference in your life. Easy read

The book is awesome. And the service was too. I’m happy for the experience of buying in this shop.

Trata-se de um livro sobre disciplina, muito mais do que motivação, pois é aquela vai lhe levar ao próximo nível. O efeito da composição sempre atua em nossa vida, afinal, estamos a todo momento praticando algo (ex: praticamos a concentração ou a distração a todo instante), este livro tenta nos guiar para as práticas que agregam. Vale a pena ser lido e aplicado.

Promising book and content ... Reading along it became a repetition of the same story, examples, ... If the author is honest this could be condensed on max. 40 pages and succes would be equal.
