The Compound Effect

I'm taking a goal setting course for 2017.  This book, The Compound Effect was mentioned in an aside and I picked it up to read at my local library.
It's a short book, a quick read but if you're ready to make some changes in your life, this is a good place to start.  It is under 200 pages, including references and includes links to the author's website that are still active even though the book was published in 2010.
Mr. Hardy starts with the example of would you rather have $3 million today or 1 cent today that doubles every day for a month.  He goes on to show how small changes in what we do can, OVER TIME, have large effects.   For example, cutting out 100 calories per day won't cause you to lose "10 lbs in a week" but you might lose 10 lbs in a year, relatively easily.
Not only does the book cover personal, physical changes but finances, motivation and how those you surround yourself with affect you.
If you're interested in trying to change your life, don't wait for New Years, pick up this book today.
