This should have been a blog post. Or a meme.
Very self promotional.

Reading this book felt like reading a really long and detailed blog post. Although I think the idea of waking up an hour before you usually do and dedicate this time to improving yourself, meditating, working out and all the good stuff is an excellent idea, I still don't get why Hal Erold wrote an entire book about it. He could have explained all of that in a blog post, an article on an online magazine or something. This book is less than 200 pages and I still felt like he was repeating himself. He just goes on and on about things you could with this time in the morning and they're all ramifications of working out, mediating or reading.
I do like the idea of waking up earlier that everyone else, but I hardly think this is a life-changing concept or a miracle. This book did bring some light to the importance of paying attention to your morning routine and working on self-improvement, but like I said.. this is not something new and it's pretty much common sense. I mean.. if you need more hours on your day, wake up earlier. I don't want to sound too negative because I did enjoy some parts of it, but I don't think this book has some kind of miracle content to make your life better.

Some practical advice on building a morning routine (Silence, Affirmations, Visualize, Exercise, Read, Scribe) smashed between a bunch of motivational speeches and what felt like a million customer testimonies. This should have been a blog post, not a book.

Read this book for work....and, man, I just do not like self-help books. The authors always come across as cocky in my opinion, and they all seem to hit on the same things. Be more positive, spend time with people you want to be like, etc. I suppose one good thing about this book is that it made me actually start going to the gym in the mornings, which I was considering already.

There are parts of this I'm not sure about, but I read this because a friend was trying it and I need to change some things, try some new things. It feels a bit cult-ish in places and a bit hippy-dippy at times, but it's also very grounded and logical at times. The end stuff about the email felt like a tacked on afterthought. I might feel a bit differently once I've tried this.

This book popped up recommended on two financial blogs that I like to read. Those bloggers lead a successful healthy lifestyle enjoying their life. By the 2nd time this book popped up, I decided I would read it and give it a try for 30 days. I'm now in my 3rd month. My personal and professional goals are more in focus and opportunities are presenting themselves regularly in my life. This book is a quick read but somehow it solidified for me the concepts and got me doing it. Wake up with energy to start my day, enjoy walking with my dog while saying the affirmation, write in my journal and read from 5-10 minutes. By doing this Mon - Fri, my life has really moved forward with specific goals and moving towards achieving them. I don't know how but this works if you do it.
I love self-help books. I really do! This one; however, disappointed me. Why? Because the author was continuing to sell me after I bought the book. At the beginning, the chapters read like copy for an infomercial. "I'm going to tell you how...I'm going to tell you how...I'm going to tell you how..." I know! Sounds great! Tell me!
The concept of the Miracle Morning is great -- wake up at least an hour earlier than you usually do, and use that time to meditate, read affirmations, visualize success, exercise a bit, read, and write. Stripped of its motivational-speaker anecdotes and references to Successful!Celebrities! this book gives you a lot to think about. While I'm not going to enact it exactly as written, I'll pull some elements that I think will be beneficial to me.
This ebook is a pretty short 163 pages, but could have been chunkier had Elrod put more information into it rather than constantly directing us to go to his book website or his community website. We are told to go online to:
> join his online community
> look for an accountability partner
> get help creating your affirmations/see a sample of his affirmations/download other affirmations
> get access to a free yoga video
> get his recommended reading list
> get a free smoothie recipe
> download the "Fast Start Kit" which contains affirmations, checklists, tracking charts, etc.
(not counting the calls to find him on Facebook, email him if we need help writing a book, buy the Miracle Morning Journal, get the Miracle Morning app, etc, blah blah)
This content isn't for "free" in that it's behind a page that you can't get to without entering your name and email address.
Most of these items could have been added to the book itself. Having a chapter on affirmations last for only 7 ebook pages and then being told I'd get more info elsewhere is irritating. Why not add three pages of sample affirmations? Why not put in the smoothie recipe? List the yoga poses that go into a sun salutation? I've read dozens of this type of book -- this is what book appendices were made for!
Again...I have already given him my money. I feel that entitles me to have copies of everything I need in the book that I am holding, without having to hand over an email address or take the time to create a dummy email account.
Two Goodreads stars means the book was ok, by the way.
