I read this book as a "book in a genre you don't read" part of a book challenge. It re-affirmed why I don't read this genre. Most of it is self-explanatory and straightforward, and can easily be glossed over. There's very little actual content in the book, and the best sentence is the one where he acknowledges that there is absolutely no science in his book. Sure, there were some unfortunate events for him, but the bottom line of the story is just #successfulwhiteguyissuccessful
Quick read. Some good advice but nothing that couldn't have been done on a quick web page. There are some practical ideas that can be immediately put into practice but nothing life shattering. Good read to get you motivated for the New Year.
After a favorite YouTuber reviewed her implementation of the Miracle Morning, I had to read the book. Well... The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM) managed to meet and to not quite meet my expectations.
Yes, the LifeSAVERS technique is a good one, and I am happy to report that I was already doing quite a few of these morning exercises -- and to great success.
However, this book is extremely repetitive. Now, there is evidence that repetition increases learning, and Hal Elrod suggest re-reading books to extract more knowledge. But Elrod goes a bit overboard with the repetition in this book. In fact, one library patron (or perhaps the original owner) noted on page 80 that there was no need to re-read the book.

Once is enough.
This book could be 40 pages. There's so much repetition.
So finishing it is reading it 3x.
I'm very motivated to return to my morning ritual after listening to this book. Hal hasn't had an easy life (currently in yet another battle for his life) yet he embraces life. This book is full of practical advice. It's one I'm getting for my shelf. I may even write in it!
informative
reflective
slow-paced
90% fluff and the author's self-importance, 10% "get up earlier and get more shit done."
Not worth the money spent, definitely not worth the time.

A pamphlet would have sufficed. There are exactly 43 short pages which describe the steps of the Miracle Morning. The remaining 129 pages are filler. If you are wondering about Miracle Morning, go to a bookstore and read pages 55 through 98. Or this blurb:
The Miracle Morning consists of six routines to do each day (morning is optional), abbreviated to S.A.V.E.R.S.
Silence (5 minutes)
Affirmations (5 minutes)
Visualisations (5 minutes)
Exercise (20 minutes)
Reading (20 minutes of self-help books)
Scribing (5 minutes)
The idea is that this routine sets you up for greatness and then you go on to achieve that greatness. It is good stuff. I have been doing it for a few weeks now and I think it makes a big difference in how I approach each day. I imagine that a longer commitment will garner larger and deeper rewards.
But this 170 page self-help book has 129 pages of self-promotion, self-stroking and self-praise, all to make sure that you buy the book, the companion books and the guides, as well as join the many facebook and insta groups. There is very little content - just a little back story about how Elron had multiple set-backs in his short life but has gone on to make his millions through using the methods explained on those 40 pages. He dabbles in diet, sleep-management and relationships but these are very shallow. Great concept, poorly executed.

Read this in an hour because I skimmed through most of the pages. It didn't really give me any new information or useful tips. Most things seemed too farfetched and bogus claims.. anyway I read it and don't recommend it. Waste of the $5.
One of the most transformative books I have ever read. It was so good I’m going to start it all over again to pick up on things I may have missed the first time round. It offers the reader a chance to make a change in their life in any and every area they feel necessary.
I suggest picking this book up, reading, making notes and applying what Hal tells you to do to truly unlock the full potential within. It really is applicable to everyone as, like I said, you can fit the advice to suit your life.

The books is not too deep but the principles are good to embrace.
