1. The Compound Effect, Made Practical
   The Compound Effect, from Darren Hardy, is the idea that small, consistent choices compound into dramatic results over time — for better or worse. It is a practitioner framework rather than a research program, but its core moves (tiny consistent actions, tracking, momentum) sit on top of well-supported principles about habits and consistency.
