This is a simple book filled with easy but useful information that anyone can do to become 1% better in each area of his life. Reaching any goal may seem like climbing Mount Everest. If you use the 1% Solution, you increase 1% at a time, but each increase will get you closer to your goal. My favorite part of the book is the author mentions that on average, the difference between first place and seventh place in Olympic competitions is usually 1%. Therefore, the difference between exceptional and exceptionally exceptional is 1%. Here are a few other quotes I liked to give you an idea of the book.
"You can't be 100% better than everyone else, but you can be 1% better at hundreds of things."
"You may not win all the time, but you can have a winner's heart if you do something better today than you did it yesterday."
"Not everyone can be great, but everyone can be better than they are right now."
"Aim to be swifter, higher, stronger- not swiftest, highest, strongest."
