About this listen

The very best didn't get there by accident. The best have a different way of thinking and acting in their daily lives. And it's not enough to just to succeed - they also have an uncontrollable desire - the desire to get better. The good news for the rest of us is that success leaves tracks. Michael Heppell has spent his life studying successful people, attempting to distil what it is that the very best do that others don't. He's interviewed entrepreneurs, personalities and leaders from politics to education. He's studied the daily habits of the elite and during this time he's uncovered what they do that gives them 'The Edge'. By identifying and distilling this knowledge you'll discover how you can use this same insight. It's time to find your Edge.

There are great insights here. There is a fantastic consolidation of insights from peak performers.

But the lessons are a bit all over the place, and it slips into fuzzy, motivational speaker talk, high on frosting without empirical grounding.

“Edgers do X and always Y” is the style—but often it seems vacuous and seem to be a function of the author’s story telling.

That said, there is good stuff in here. You have to cut through the narrative a bit to get to the gems.

It’s a solid book nonetheless, and will be motivating for some. Those looking for something more rigorous may want to gravitate toward more precise, science based books, like Peak Performance or Stephen Kotler’s work.

Great insights—a bit meandering and

I have read many popular psychology books so this should have been more of the same but it wasn't and I loved it!
