A bit of a ‘get rich quick’ vibe in places but the essential advice seems pretty sound. Now I just need to actually put it into practice….

This was a great first self-help book. I’ve been doing the mm since I read it and it has really helped me work through how to set up my day for success and peace. I’d highly recommend this to anyone wanting to wake up earlier and more peacefully. It’s not the most well-written book but it’s very clear what you can do in the morning to have a great start to your day. There’s no ambiguity and I appreciate that. Thanks Hal!

All good information but could have been more succinct.
I recommend finding a summary of this book/method instead of reading this book, because even though the book itself is not too long, I found that it could be way shorter if the writer wasn't that focussed on other people's successes and selling his own product.
The method itself is great I think, but the way the book was written just dit not suit me. It was very commercial, I felt like every other sentence he was trying to direct me to his website or one of his products, which was very annoying to me. It also relied a lot on testimonials of others. I personally think that comparing yourself to others is a bad habit to have, yet half of this book was about how other people did this and how their life became amazing. I would go through this book again, just to find the few lines and methods that were actually beneficial to me, and then probably get rid of this book altogether.
In summary, great method, bad book.

Like most self-help, it's common sense stuff, but I like the tone of this one. It's not preachy or unrealistic. As a lifelong night owl, my happily getting up at 5am should be a testament to this book's effectiveness.

If you're curious about his routine and tips, read a summary or blog post.
There is so much fluff and so many sales pitches. Another review mentioned that the author was a sales person before he was an author and I believe it. The biggest slap in the face, though, is that multiple times he links elsewhere (Amazon, his blog, his community, his app). Some of the stuff is still that should be in a book purporting to be the miracle morning routine. And fun fact: if you do a good job with that, I would be more likely to use any of them. Instead I was left put off and upset.
The upset only grew when I realized most of the explisit external information he links to is things to buy, not, you know, research articles or other places. His sources may be more than that but when he only explicitly gives stories, I struggle to trust him. Especially with his talk of us not needing as much sleep as we think. He prefaces it by saying it's an individual thing but then talks about mindset.
Oh also. Like about 2/3 of the self help books I've read, it's devoid of a critical analysis of why so many people are needing help. Despite him literally talking about how he went into debt during the 2008 recession and exploring (or attempting to explore) why so many people are unsatisfied with their lives, depressed, and indebt. I've read self help books that properly go into why it isn't a personal issue and that feels much more genuine and helpful, even if the advice is the same.
Finally, while I like the intention of having a wonderful morning and plan to implement some of the tips, this book feeds into hustle culture and the idea that one can do everything they set their minds to. News flash, you can't. Even if I had no barriers financially, spatially, energetically, or emotionally, I only have 24 hours in a day. He talks about accepting where you are but not about accepting your capacity.
All this is why I feel like a blog post or summary or his site will offer you a better deal. It's easier to take what you like and leave what you don't when you're not sifting through 170 pages of a purchased or library book.
