pocketbard 's review for:
I admit I skimmed this one. I’d heard a lot about The Miracle Morning and wanted to check it out for myself. More specifically, I wanted to see if it gave any tips for waking up before sunrise, which is my bane. (Answer: no, it did not, though some of the online commentary discussed things I’m already doing, like a smart bulb on a timer.) The book is very salesly and self-helpy. I read somewhere that Elrod worked in multilevel marketing for a while, and it shows. This would have been a perfectly acceptable blog post or article. As a book, it leaves much to be desired. Here’s the short version so you don’t have to read it yourself: wake up an hour earlier than normal. Drink a glass of water, and then do your morning “S.A.V.E.R.S.”: silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and scribing (journaling), each for 10 minutes. There, that’s the miracle morning in a nutshell and now you don’t have to read the book. The rest of the book just feels like hype to try to get you to actually do it, promises that it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE (tm), pitches to buy his other products, and testimonials from other self-help gurus who promise that it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE (tm). I know a lot of people have been helped by the miracle morning framework, so if it works for you, then great! But honestly, if you’re interested, just read a blog post about the method – you don’t need to read the full book unless you REALLY like salesly self-help language.
