Today I will explain the summary of the most amazing book "THE COMPOUND EFFECT" written by "DARREN HARDY". This is the book which has completely transformed my life and added so many good values to my and other's life. First of all, before moving ahead I want to thanks the author for publishing such an ultimate next-level book which has completely transformed my life, and hope it will keep positively transforming the lives of others. The main theme of the book is that whatever habit or action we inculcate over a period of time influence our life very much. The logic behind this is that if we had deposited a certain amount of money in the bank then after several years we would get double, triple, and even 8 times more than we had invested. Why does it happen?? Because the compounding works on it. And gradually the compound interest keeps added to the principal amount and finally, it turns into a big amount. In the same way, the habit, behavior, action, choice we make in our day-to-day life determines much what type of life we are going to get in our future.
The main key points of the books are:
1.THE COMPOUND EFFECT IN ACTION
2.CHOICES
3.HABITS
4.MOMENTUM
5.INFLUENCES
6.ACCELERATION
Now I am going to explain each of these points one by one:
1.THE COMPOUND EFFECT IN ACTION
This chapter is all about how simple, small choices can give you massive results.
Small, smart choices + consistency + Time = Radical Difference
So the compound effect will always work for you whether you want it or not. If you are taking good, smart choices then also it works and if you are making bad choices then also it works. So be 100% conscious of each and every choice you make, everything plays a major role in making your life like you have dreamed for. For example, there are 3 friends, first friend makes a choice that he is completely satisfied with his life and he doesn't need to do anything, the second friend makes choices that he will invest his time in cooking, watching television, and wasting time in small petty things. And the third friend makes choices that he would inculcate good habits and read 10 pages of a book every day. In starting it seems that there is no massive effect on the life of all the friends based on the choices they have made. But later on after 2-3 years, it was seen that the first fellow was at the same place where he was before, the second fellow has gained a lot of weight due to which he was very inefficient in his work and his relation with his wife and boss started diminishing while the third fellow who had taken the decision to read at least 10 pages every day has gained a lot of knowledge and the time which he invested on himself pays him off. and now he was living a very good life, he got a promotion, his life is very balanced and his relations with his wife and other people are very good. So you see how small choices we made have a direct effect on our success.
2.CHOICES
Choices play a very important role in deciding where you will go after 10 -15 years. So be aware of your moment-to-moment choices and repeat these constructive until they started reflecting on your habits. Do not wait for anyone just get started.
3.HABITS
Whatever we do from morning to evening is the result of our habits. Develop constructive habits which will help you in achieving your goal. No one is perfect in this world everyone has some good and some bad habits. So don't become frustrated or worry, start replacing your all bad habits with the good ones. Use step by step approach to replace any habit because if at once you try to break those habits which take many years to build, will give you some trouble. so be the person who desperately wants to change his bad habits with the good ones.
4.MOMENTUM
We find every work difficult in starting or we can say that the first step is always harder but once we have taken the first things becomes easier for us. So momentum is the way of doing anything continuously for a long period of time without getting diverted from my goal. So keep taking action, in starting you feel difficulty but once you become comfortable nothing is difficult for you. You will achieve great success in your life.
5.INFLUENCES
It was researched that our life got influenced by the type of people we live with. So wisely choose your company and you will be like them. To remove toxic people from your life and get started influenced by the positive and optimistic people around you. If you change this little thing in your life then you started thinking like them and you see a lot of positivity in your life.
6.ACCELERATION
It means that once we achieved the peak, never settle down, keep pushing yourself for doing a little more extra in every work you do. Always ask yourself what little extra effort I can make to make my work extraordinary. As it was said that the difference between ordinary and extraordinary people is just that extra effort which they take due to which they are extraordinary people. So do something good for people, add some good values in others' life and become the best version of yourself.
So this is the summary of the book "THE COMPOUND EFFECT". I hope you have got a lot of good insights from this blog and you are going to follow all these important steps which will take you towards the goal which you have decided for you.
