verityw 's review for:
Power Hour: How to Focus on Your Goals and Create a Life You Love
by Adrienne Herbert
****Copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review******
This is a well put together and well structured look at the concept of dedicating one (early morning) hour to build the life that you want. The author is not the first person with this idea, but she has her own take on it - and has a popular podcast where she interviews fellow power hour devotees.
I thought the book did a really good idea of breaking down the idea and the way to make it happen and how to make it work for you in a really practical way that takes into account (most of) the variations in people's lives. I'm a shift worker and all to often when I read books like this, I feel like the author has never taken into account people like me - who often have to get up at 4am for earlies, or are up all night for nightshifts - and although obviously it's still not going to 100% work for me in my life, it is thinking about shifts and long commutes and making you feel like something like this *is* possible if you want it to be. It did feel a little repetitive at times and I would like some more further resources and links to some of the research that is being references, but generally this is a good resource.
