Darren Hardy, motivational coach and former editor of “Success” magazine, has identified the compound effect as the most significant factor for lasting success in all areas of life.
Small, at first glance insignificant, incremental changes in our everyday lives can lead to extraordinary results – professionally, financially, and in our private lives – if we maintain them consistently and over time.
On the one hand, the right mindset is essential: the attitude that no one but ourselves is responsible for our situation, that only we can improve our situation, and that patience and discipline are more rewarding than instant gratification.
Secondly, we need practical strategies to eliminate dysfunctional behaviors, adopt functional behaviors, and maintain these changes in the long term. For example, we can set long-term goals, check daily whether our actions are congruent with our goals, isolate ourselves from the omnipresent negativity of the media, and consume positive, inspiring content instead.
The book is easy to read, practical, and entertaining thanks to numerous concrete examples and anecdotes, and it motivates you to get involved with action plans at the end of each chapter. A recommendation for anyone who wants to change their life for the better.
