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.

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!
