A book about waking up at 5am and spending 20 minutes exercising, 20 minutes, self-reflecting, and 20 minutes of mastering your craft. There are other nuggets of wisdom as well along with a story about a billionaire who teaches two people and his best friend, the spell binder.

I will say that jointing the 5am club is a great idea! I’ve started waking up at 5am but I drink my coffee while journaling and then self-development and then do my workout. It’s a game changer for sure. However, this book could have been so much shorter and I could have, personally, done without the story of the billionaire and spell binder. A lot of the story was cheesy and unrealistic. Great morals and life advice though so 3 stars for me!

This book was honestly painful to get through. I really disliked the way it was written — it used a fictional story to deliver advice, but the storytelling felt forced and dragged on. I almost DNF’d it. It wasn’t until about 80% of the way through that it even got to the actual 5 AM method or what to do with it. If you're looking for something to help you build better habits, stay organized, or improve your productivity, I personally recommend Atomic Habits instead. It’s clear, practical, and way more effective.

Good information, but very poor writing. Cheesy.

Drag !!!

This book is just book of quotes and sermons. The author manages to to quote atleast two Quotes per page by someone who has walked his talk.

Cumulatively, all the sermons were said in past and the dynamics of the past does not hold true today in its entirety.

Robin Sharma, the popular author of Monk who sold his Ferrari, should understand one thing and that is , it is good to give Sermons, but it is equally difficult to live them.

Read this if you want to split your hair. I could've might as well finished Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
