The Slight Edge

This book by Jeff Olson was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Diary of a CEO. The people who vouched for it on air: Steven Bartlett. It comes up in conversations about exercise & strength, motivation & discipline, relationships. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

The Slight Edge is a way of thinking, a way of processing information that enables you to make the daily choices that will lead you to the success and happiness you desire. Learn why some people make dream after dream come true, while others just continue dreaming and spend their lives building dreams for someone else. It’s not just another self-help motivation tool of methods you must learn in order to travel the path to success. It shows you how to create powerful results from the simple daily activities of your life, by using tools that are already within you.
