The Compound Effect is one of my favorite books. It's always been a philosophy I've lived by but was super happy to have found someone that put it so well into words.
It's a book that exemplifies the saying, "How do you eat an elephant? The answer is one bite at a time." The Compound Effect shows how daily habits make a difference in the long run and build momentum. When a skill or task seems overwhelming to accomplish, the book provides the formula to achieve success through a series of small smart choices. Small consistent action over a long period of time has greater payoffs than intensely large but short changes.
I think this book pairs really well with Brian Tracy's "Eat that Frog" as well.
A few of my favorite quotes include:
“Small, Smart Choices + Consistency + Time = RADICAL DIFFERENCE” ― Darren Hardy, The Compound Effect
and
“Forget about willpower. It's time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams. The wisest and most motivating choices are the ones aligned with that which you identify as your purpose, your core self, and your highest values. You've got to want something, and know why you want it, or you'll end up giving up too easily." ― Darren Hardy, The Compound Effect
Do you have any good takeaways that resonated with you in the book?
