The Compound Effect

Product Information

Yes, he has this principles that have since been perfected and codified so that he can share it with us in this book, the same lessons he teaches entrepreneurs and executives in his coaching class! If you're serious about living an extraordinary life, use the power of The Compound Effect to create the success you want. These illustrations not only clarify his points but also inspired me to think of new applications in my life. When you do the unexpected, you gain an advantage over others because most people are not ready to do the same.

The wall of your discipline and routines represents the gap between your old self and your improved, stronger self. And for eight years Darren led the rebirth of SUCCESS Magazine as its publisher and founding editor. Good enough that the book was mentioned in the “must read” list in one of the many book review articles that I’ve read. Instead of trying to shed 20 pounds in a week, he cut 125 calories from his daily diet, listened to self-improvement recordings as he commuted to work, and walked a little extra each day.This book does a brilliant job of explaining where we get caught and also different ways we might avoid traps. For instance, no one wants to become obese, or declare bankruptcy, but these are the consequences of multiple poor – but small – choices.

The Compound Effect is a treasure chest of ideas for achieving greater success than you ever thought possible! How to push yourself and your limits out of what you feel is your comfort zone and keep doing it until you are where you want to be. Build up momentum, make a plan, slowly change our bad habits into good ones, and tackle our personal limits. Stop lying and justifying hard choices by saying things like, “It’s not fair for everyone to avoid sweets just because I don’t want to eat sweets. You can tell a lot about the quality of your health, wealth, and attitude by looking at the people around us.

Achievers—people who get into a successful rhythm—continue busting their butts and end up achieving more and more.

More than anyone alive today, Darren has met, interviewed and uncovered the methods used by the most successful people in the world. It teaches the value of hard work and consistency with some action plans included, and that is, I think, something more people need to understand. There was undoubtedly a level of bulls--t with many of his anecdotes, and the constant harping on about SUCCESS Magazine was a bit repetitive and unnecessary. But then, without further ado he proceeded right to the main points of his theory, the compounding effect.The little money we didn’t spend on meaningless things become the big savings we have for the future, or dwindling our savings with us not realising what had happened. Instead of scrolling through your social media news feed, this is a much better way to spend your spare time in my opinion. If all we needed was more information, everyone with an Internet connection would live in a mansion, have abs of steel, and be blissfully happy. A very enjoyable book to read and I will definitely be referring back to it from time to time to keep myself on track. Sometimes we don’t want to admit it, but our choices are what shape our destiny and we are responsible for what we do or don’t do.
