About the Book
The Compound Effect is about success and what it actually takes to earn it. It tells us that there is no magic trick or quick fix to success and no substitute for hard work. It initially focuses on our reasons to do a particular thing, the power of which makes us act for its achievement.
The drive to act then builds our habits & eventually routines. When all this is added over time the result of the compound effect becomes visible.
Our life is all about choices. Choices are the foundation of our achievements and losses. Initially, we make choices, and then those choices either make or break us. The book not only provides practical strategies to install good habits in life but also gives techniques to eliminate the bad habits and clear out the clutter in our minds.
Learning Outcomes
The Compound Effect is one such book that does not give us false hopes or methods of quickly becoming successful rather it pushes us to climb the stairs of our life step-by-step as life doesn’t provide us with elevators to success. The internet these days is bombarded with tips & tricks to excel in all areas but this book takes us back to the basics.
It gives us simple but profound fundamentals which lead us to our success. The book repeats simple principles of life because what is simple to do is also what is overlooked the most. It throws light on the fact that learning without execution won’t take us anywhere. It inspires us to take responsibility to be willing to allow our minds to be open to mentorship and evolve by learning through our surroundings.
Famous Quotes
“The beauty of the Compound Effect is in its simplicity.”
“The Compound Effect is always working. You can choose to make it work for you, or you can ignore it and experience the negative effects of this powerful principle.”
“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon…. Must inevitably come to pass!”
“Commitment is doing the thing you said were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you.”
The Bottom Line
The Compound Effect conveys that it is not the huge things that add up in the end, it is the hundreds, thousands, millions, or billions of small things and efforts that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary.
The earlier you begin incorporating minor life changes, the more powerfully the effect of compounding works in your favor. Winning the race is about pace. We can be the tortoise: The person who, when given enough time, will eventually defeat anyone in any competition as a result of positive habits and actions applied consistently.
