While the concept of The Slight Edge idea is very useful and vital to creating your own success, I found that many of the chapters were redundant. The main points of this book could have been condensed into about five or six Chapters instead of thirteen. All together though, an interesting book.
I did not like this book at all. At times, I found the author's tone condescending and arrogant, which was off-putting. In addition to this, the book itself is repetitive (to the point that it sounds like some sort of advertising campaign, with every other line seeming to include the words 'the slight edge'!) and rich with cliché. I feel that this book merely confirms all the negative stereotypes surrounding the self-help/personal development genre. Basically, not only would I not recommend this book, I would actively try to dissuade people from wasting their time with it.
Before reading this book, I read "The Compound Effect" by Darren Hardy. Actually, the philosophy of both the books is identical. "The Slight Edge" gives you an idea how we can accomplish any task or how we can build new habits. The idea which gravitates me more is "Always take baby steps when you start anything new, and do not break the consistency."
