Book Review: The compound effect by Darren Hardy

The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I actually recently became infatuated with the “compound effect”, not this book, but the actual phenomenon.

When I came across this book, I thought, “Wow! A title I wanted to know more of in terms of financial literacy”, and I bought it.

I got hooked to this book from the very first chapter. Darren explained flawlessly about the compounding effect, not only in financial world, but also in personal world – I never thought in that manner before at all. It was all plain, simple and overwhelmingly relatable but fantastically evading us through our life.

I got more interested when I learnt about negative compound effect – and you just need to give it time before it takes momentum and ruins your life for worse.

The second half of the book was pretty much like a self-help, boosting talk show. I didn’t get much out of it but the overall energy of this book is laudable. It gave me some clearer perspective into the choices and habits and thoughts we hold, that we don’t give much weightage, but are the ultimate reasons why we succeed or fail in life.

The littlest things matter most – this has never made so much sense before.
