Shockingly bad and misguided
Purchased this as a recommendation from a friend. I could not be more disappointed. gave me a laugh at least.
Spoiler: the author says.
Stress, Suffering = Success = happiness
His idea of success seems to be monetary gain. Success is made to sound like something so far out of reach that you’ve almost got to kill yourself to get it.
It’s full of ridiculous examples like the compound effect of eating 150 less calories a day over time is the formula for losing weight. He then goes onto say ‘knowledge is not power’. He hasn’t got a clue what power actually is.
If you want to end up chasing the American dream, only to discover your are physically and emotionally broken and unfulfilled by reaching your goals - this is the book for you.

tall tales and small stories.
nothing but stories of what other successful people have said, quotes of inspiration.
if your looking for practical strategies to apply to your life or ideas to apply for improvement this isnt worth the time.
continues 'good for them' stories about other people with no back up to make it practical for ordinary upcoming people.

Valuable idea but...
The core idea of The Compound Effect is that a small change sustained over an extended period of time can have a big impact. This is a really valuable idea. However, in my opinion, there are two fairly substantial issues with this book. Firstly, it was written in about 2010 and its hasn’t aged well, using Lance Armstrong and Donald Trump as exemplars of success. Secondly, the basic premise of the book is to apply the concept of compound interest to habits and behaviours. In practice this doesn’t always work. Losing weight, for example, has the reverse effect... the more you lose, the less calories your body naturally burns through normal activity, so a greater calorie deficit is required! As a result, many of the examples and anecdotes don’t entirely make sense. I also didn’t really enjoy the author’s demonisation of social media and tv and even reading fiction... everyone is different and many people get value from what he clearly sees as mindless pursuits. In my opinion, what is really important to consider is the intention or mindfulness of how you use such things. So yeah, I quite enjoyed the book in general and the basic idea is valuable, but I would take it with a bit of a pinch of salt.

A real mixture.
This book is definitely worth a read as there is very good content to take from however there are parts that made me feel a little uneasy, for example the advice on relationships and the ones to have are from those you can either grow from or match your own ambitions. A little robot like and snooty, after all we are all unique and just because a friend has less money or ambition or even a different mentality shouldn’t mean that friendship should be disregarded. The positives of this book is that there is a lot of good practices and some content does sharpen the mind.
That’s my opinion anyhow so have a read a decide for yourself. Enjoy !

Wow.....
This book is enough to get anyone motivated and off their butt. It’s a book about reality and speaks honestly.
Once you’ve owned up to being in the place you’re in in your life because of choices you’ve made, it’s no one else’s fault, you will realise the world is your oyster and by being the exception you can and will become successful.
I will continue to listen to this book, it’s one of the best I’ve heard.
Thank you, Darren

The value that this book adds to your life is priceless. We already know deep down that our daily habits are what create our current reality, physical, financial, health, relationships and so on. The daily habits we do over time compound into the success/failures we encounter. Although we know this, we rarely practice this on a day to day basis in our lives. Habits are the foundation of all the results in our lives (Both positive and negative).
There are two ways that we can improve our lives daily:
1. Unlearn bad habits
2. Learn new good habits
We are always seeking quick fixes as a solution a diet, pill or a get rich scheme. The truth is that we are accountable for the results that we are getting in all aspects of our lives wether that be financially, physically, in our relationships and so on.
These micro actions add up to macro results over time. You may not see the results now but know under the surface progress is being made. Just like the story of the Chinese bamboo tree that doesn't even break through the ground in it's first four years of growth, then shoots up to over 90ft in just a few weeks.
For actionable advice that will literally change your life and perspective. LISTEN.TO.THIS.BOOK.

My favourite book of all time!
Been listening to this for a good 8 years now. The principles are everything which I stand for.
Small changes + consistency + time = radical results. One of the most practical books out there. Highly recommend if you have not listened!

rubbish American nonsense
I got about 20 minutes in. The author constantly says it's a no nonsense guide with no fat or faff, but then goes on to just that, fat and faff. Absolute nonsense for morons and people who want tall tales. Its basically one of them awful videos you come across on the internet that tells you for 20 minutes that they will teach you so much and list what they will teach you, but then dont actually tell you nothing. irritating generic American shouty voice.

Gives a different perspective
Interesting read, did find some of it a little Too American. But some good simple points and ideas that can have a massive impact on your life. Will certainly take some of the advise and put it into play.
