The 5 AM Club: Own Your Morning, Elevate Your Life

I always wanted to start waking up early but I needed to find a good reason for it. The book was written in a very nice way as a story but at the same time great models, approaches were shared. I do use some of the advice shared in the book.

This book is SO MUCH MORE than what the title suggests. When implemented, it is truly life-changing! I wake up at 5am and, after working out and meditating, I continue to read and learn the book while I implement everything I am learning on a daily basis! I feel like I have a mentor guiding me to success and to be a better human being!

Poorly written and boring

You get attached

Life changing.. 5AM concept indeed transformed my morning routine..20/20/20 rule. Working toward implementing the 10 tactics of lifelong genuis.

Nice book

Such a life changing experience.

-While the writer kept mentioning (based on studies.. researchers) he has barely mentioned very few of them. Zero references at the end of the book. Very poor writing style. - many invalid medical claims reflected the poor quality of research and preparation. - unrealistic frameworks that contradict several well established theories in neuroscience and excercises. - highly materialistic focus on luxury. The funny thing is he kept repeating that materialistic staff is not important and allocated 50% of the pages to describe and cherish materials! - for people who are interested in genuine and science based self growth, I suggest the following books : Atomic habits, Growth mindset, Excercised, Focus and other books for well known specialised professors! - the two starts is for the effort of writing and the quotes collection.

Good

Warning: May Contain Spoilers: I have been following Robin Sharma's work for a few years and had purchased several of his books (most recently "The Everyday Hero Manifesto") as well as listening to his podcasts, and so I finally decided to take the plunge and find out what his "5AM Club" was all about. When I first got this book, I was disappointed to discover it was written as a story--very much like Paulo Coelho's "The Alchemist". In fact, I was ANGRY it was like "The Alchemist" because I had read this book also (actually was given it by a well-meaning friend at the time) and I struggled with that one. I read a lot of non-fiction personal development books and didn't feel like reading anything which looked like fiction. I seriously considered returning it after reading only a few pages. Then, I noticed that Paulo Coelho actually ENDORSED this book (and not for nothing, Robin refers to Paulo frequently in his writings) so my wall of skepticism began to slowly crumble away. Maybe there was more to be seen here than meets the eye. This book is not a typical self-help or personal development book--its lessons and teachings come at you in a totally different way. Because it is written like a novel, it engages you from an artistic, left-brain P.O.V rather than the usual right-brain, analytical. In other words, it gets through that wall of skepticism. "The 5AM Club" is a compendium of all of Robin's teachings so far (I'm sure there are more insights and nuggets to come). If I myself had bought this as my first Robin Sharma book, I may not have kept it, but because I recognised some habits and ideas I had already incorporated into my daily living, I was willing to give it another go, and I'm so glad I did. Read this book. It will change the way you look at things.

Highly recommend
