The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson

4.0

 This one is good because the concept is simple and easy to implement. I have to be in the mood to read books like this though. The style of men like this who write these can sometimes be grating. They like to tell you how great they are and gloss over exactly how they became so great. Some of his examples and things he points out are a little judgemental too in my opinion. But the overall concept is a good one and one that you don’t really need to read the entire book to grasp. Take tiny steps towards your objectives each day, and keep it going especially in the beginning when you aren’t seeing results. Over time good effort does pay off but it does not happen as quickly as we might like and many ppl give up before they get there. It’s a good reminder even if the book is cheesy at points. He also really needs to credit more women for their achievements in this. He talks about the Harvard class on happiness started by Dr Laurie Santos but does not mention her by name. But he never forgets to credit the men.
