The Compund effect is about? 

This book is about success and what it really takes to earn it. It’s time someone told it to you straight. You’ve been bamboozled for too long. There is no magic bullet, secret formula, or quick fix.

Book is about how small acts can amplify your success. 

What is Compound Effect? 

The Compound Effect, if hadn't read the book then THE COMPOUND EFFECT may sound like a magic formula to get success. So, it's not. Authors started with clearing the misconceptions about one day wonder success myths. 

Compound is nothing but expanded and more practical form of adage  “Slow and steady wins the race”. 

One can achieve anything with  plan and consistent work. Enough time and consistent work can beat anyone in any field. And not because of some wonder powers because of  the positive habits. Habits that can be developed. 

How it works? 

To truly believe the concept of compound you must have patience. Let's understand the process in different segments : 

1) Make yourself ready for the process. 

2) Your daily choices decided that you are actually working or making excuses. 

3) Habits, making daily and daily small changes makes habit. 

4) Once you developed habit, now is the time to set momentum just like Newtons Law. Starting something new require more energy and after sometime you can do it without much effort. 

5) It's time to pick which habit you want to develop, which will lead you to success. 

And this is the most important segment, so choose wisely!! 

Success formula? 

Success depends on the fact the how much you are acting towards. Small & Smart choices repeated daily in enough time gives difference. This what author represented : 

Small, Smart Choices + Consistency + Time = RADICAL DIFFERENCE

The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices.

Conclusion?

Simple choices. It’s time to make a new choice— choose to not let the next five years be a continuum of the last. Choose to change your life, once and for all. 

Conclusion, you must learn, try and apply the method and must review what's working and what us not. 

Book shares precious values but result depends on on which habit you are focusing. I will only say that not every formula and method is for you, work on which works for you.  Most importantly, work for endeavor not for instant gratification.
