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

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

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

Customer Reviews

Should be a required school text book!
This is truly a book I would recommend to anyone...and the only reason I would ever recommend a book is if it's had significant, real personal impact on my life in practical ways...and this book has done just that. It's caused me to be more consciously aware of the slight edge when making small, seemingly insignificant decisions throughout the day.

Jeff doesn't necessarily offer up a new philosophy or idea in this book. But he uncovers the simple, eternal truths about success and failure, and he calls it the "slight edge": simplified disciplines (good or bad) compounded over time. This principle, which is true to everyone, everywhere, can be recognized and applied to EVERY area of life.

He explains how our society has been inundated with what he calls the "breakthrough mentality": how we expect success and completion to come easily and quickly. He breaks down the slight edge and how it affects your financial prosperity, health, relationships, etc. This book really causes you to look at your life, where you're at, how you got there, and the choices you can make daily to get to where you want to go.

I have read the book, I have listened to the audiobook. I will continue to refer back to it's principles.

Bottom Line: It's easy reading, it's practical, it's useful. It's not fluff or hype, but it's written by a realist who knows what it is to fail, and what it takes to succeed greatly. Not only would I recommend this to everyone (which I RARELY ever do for a book), but if I was in charge of things, I would make this a required text in high schools.

Manual for Success in everything in your life
I've came in contact with this book through my part-time business opportunity since Jeff Olson is one of the owners of our parent company. What can I say first, except - WOW! This book teaches such a simple philosophy; yet that philosophy can effect everything in your life. If you apply the Slight Edge to your career, relationships, health, fitness or anything else in our life, you will succeed. Also, if you are failing in what ever area, the slight edge will explain to you why you are failing. As the book states, success and failure are both predictable. Read this book, or get the audio book and learn the simple philosophy of the slight edge.

An Absolute MUST Read!
I'm absolutely jazzed to be the first one to provide a review for this book! Although merely calling it a book is like calling The Grand Canyon a ditch! "The Slight Edge" is a user manual for the human mind and - if followed -THE blueprint for success both personally and professionally! It should be the next book you read before doing anything else!

I've had the opportunity of seeing Mr. Olson live on a couple occasions - and he's awesome! The information he brings to the table is REAL - not hypothetical. He walks his talk.

The information contained in this book is a primer for everything you'll ever do in life. It's the kind of information you'll wish you would've learned in school before going out into the world. And other than a religious upbringing - this is THE best gift you could ever provide your children and/or young people in your life!

In time I feel Mr. Olson's books will hold treasured positions in libraries - both private and public - along with Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, and other great authors!

I value Mr. Olson as a mentor and coach in my life - and when you read this book you will as well!
