The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson
5.0

This self-help/happiness/get-your-life-together-type book put into words what I had recently been thinking about: the concept of applied compound exponential growth to an effort. It expresses the concept that even those smallest steps taken to achieve greatly add up over time. As a math teacher, I likened it to the concept of compound interest. Think about the difference in a mortgage rate of 5.5% vs 6.5%. That one percent difference results in an $38,000 difference over the course of 30 years. The same result can happen with our lives. An extra 5 or 10 minutes applied towards a goal with make it arrive that much faster, or take you that much farther in life. Highly recommended.
