Book Review - The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson

"Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review."

The Slight Edge is the perfect gift to share with family and friends looking to make a positive change in any areas of their life – business/career, health, relationships, etc. With its release last week, consumers are taking the book by storm.  Since its release the beginning of November, consumers have taken the book by storm. In the first week of its release, it was in the Top 10 books on Amazon for Success and Personal Transformation and is on the USA Today Best-Selling Books list.

The Slight Edge sets the foundation for making a change in one’s life to give them the “edge” above those around them! Also, in line with the spirit of the holiday season and The Slight Edge principle “The Ripple Effect,” which focuses on paying-it-forward, 50% of the net proceeds from all sales go to the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization.

In addition, Live Happy, a new magazine that is the first of its kind, offers information that combines the science of positive psychology with the art of application to help readers achieve authentic happiness through everyday practical actions. Each issue Live Happy will feature happiness-enhancing stories and articles that offer timely advice and real solutions for readers who want to be happy on the following topics:

·         The Science and Practice of Happiness

·         Creating a Happy Lifestyle

·         Improving Wellbeing

·         Cultivating Meaningful Relationships

·         Celebrity Interviews 

A yearlong subscription is only $29.95, so Live Happy also makes a perfect option for any under $50 gift guides.  

My thoughts:

The Slight Edge is about the author, Jeff Olson and how he went from Beach Bum to a Millionaire, and than lost everything, but rose back up to the top.  He teaches you that success is always an option and failure never is.

This book is an easy read and that every adult, young and old should have in their home library.  I have read other self help books, but lost interest before finishing the first chapter. I could not put this book down when I started reading it.  I felt as though the author was speaking directly to me.  I have and still continue to use many tools in this book and incorporate them in my everyday life.

This book is available on Amazon.  It is available  in hard cover, paperback, audio CD and kindle addition.
