The 5am Club: Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life.

What I did not like was how long it took to be delivered. Amazon messaged me to say that it may have got lost. But, it did arrive eventually and in 'as new' condition. First inmpression is that the book is much bigger than I expected. The printed text is clear and easy to read. The style of writing is also easy to read. The book provides a structure for a daily routine proven to accelerate personal and professional development. The secret is in the title of the book, "The 5am Club". The first challenge is to make time to read the book, and then to implement its instructions. It requires total commitment to a change in daily routine. If you enjoy taking cold showers then youll love this book! I plan to use this book alongside my Bullet Journal, because the success of this book depends upon discovering your life purpose and having a plan for your life.

I'm really not sure why this book gets a bad rap. It put me off for years from reading it. I don't think some people are ready for the life lessons shared in this book. I have to be honest, I still haven't mastered the 5am starts yet. I'm on 6am continuously. But this book is so so so much more than just this. It's about priming yourself for the day, starting the night before and morning. It's about gaining momentum and small wins of mastery and self-discipline from the moment you wake. Which, in turn, carries you through the rest of the day. It's not let me down yet. There are so many valuable life-changing lessons in this book. I'm reading it for a second time to fully engrain it into my mind. I think if you were live by the values taught in this book alone, you would master life. The author is a very clever and talented person. The way he slips these lessons into an empowering story to help you absorb all this book's value is really quite amazing. Buy, and change! 3 months of changes for me, and the pendulum is starting to swing. You won't regret it. Lastly a huge huge thanks to the author for producing such a masterpiece and changing things around for me.

Worth the read and very spiritual as well as encouraging, the teachings and life of Jesus Christ were for me a foundation for what I have just read.

Fantastic book! I really enjoyed it, the way it has been written is great and keeps you interested through the whole book. I highly recommend it and also it does provide value life advice, or reminding us about things we know but tend to not put in practice! I highly recommend this book

Definitely in two minds about this book. Robin Sharma has some great models of excellence in his toolkit, but this one didn't hang together coherently for me. Unlike 'The Monk who sold...' the story here is tortuous and contrived to make his point. The device for introducing random quotes by having them appear on artifacts throughout the book is jarring. It might work in a movie to see these things in the background, but not in a book. The fiction writing feels poor and detracts from the message - attempts to paint a scene or an image pop up to disturb the narrative, much like the doves or butterflies, and the language is stilted and painfully attempts to be trendy. I found myself longing for just one 'anyhow' rather than 'anyhoo', or for the protagonists to be referred to as 'my friends' just to avoid the grating repetition of 'cats'. We are whisked around the world to places that have obviously had an impact on Sharma's life and that he wants to share with us, but that feel as if they are forced into the story for no real purpose, even to the point that the Robben Island visit at the end feels cliched despite the obvious message. Perhaps if we hadn't bounced around the world so much earlier on it wouldn't feel like 'here we go again'. The models introduced for some reason fail to stick in the mind, sliding easily out of our memories perhaps because they are simply restating the things we already know without providing any real hooks to hang them on. I'll reread the penultimate chapter as it does seem to form a good conclusion, but I left the book wishing I had just read that chapter with a little more introduction. It felt like there were some real nuggets of wisdom in there, but wrapped up in too much novelisation to make it easy to extract them. I'll use some of the tools and the ideas to create a better early morning world for myself, but I found myself longing for something that would give me the real tools to sustain such a radical change in my mornings, the practicalities of which seemed to be skated over. I wanted to like this. But somehow it fell short. In 'The Monk Who Sold..' the story and the message were interwoven and depended on each other. Here it felt like an artificial device and maybe this time the use of fiction actually detracts from the message rather than supporting it, causing me to have to work hard to separate the message from the storyline, and finding myself wincing when the two collided, as they seemed to do far too often. There's a romance in there. A life threatening illness. An extra violent business takeover threat. None of them advance the theme of the book one iota. There's good stuff here, but you're going to have to work hard to find it.

This book is mind-blowing, with so many helpful and practical models to apply to transform our lives. He explains the view of life in the most effective way. Really appreciated 👏

This book has truly inspired me. I am incorporating some of the habits I’ve learned from it to uplift myself. I would highly recommend this book to others. It was an incredible learning experience. I would love to read it again and again

One of the worst books I have ever read. Extremely boring, overly descriptive, and tedious. It seems like it was written by ChatGPT and Google. The author includes unnecessary quotes from various people, with no real creativity or original insight of their own. It reads like a book version of those influencers on YouTube who post “My 5 A.M. Routine” videos. Don’t waste your time or money on this book.

Highly recommend

Good book and product.

What I liked best about this book was that it had all of Robin Sharma’s teachings about getting up early to craft a beautiful life in the one book. It’s full of practical tips and techniques to install the habit of getting up at 5am and applying to 20/20/20 formula to move, reflect and grow from 5 to 6 am. Things like intense exercise, journaling, gratitude practice, meditation, review goals and reading/learning. I love how the ideas presented are backed by Science. I also love how I can customise the key ideas to make it my own. I started practicing the techniques on the 1st of January and it has definitely been a game changer for me. 17 days into it and I’m still very focused and on fire to start my days with exercise, reflection and reading (reading both to learn and for pleasure). It’s the best way to start the day, when the rest of the world (and my family) are asleep.

Certamente, ecco una versione più elaborata e stilisticamente curata: Questo libro, non a caso un best seller, si distingue per la sua capacità di offrire una prospettiva lucida e approfondita su come affrontare le sfide della vita quotidiana. È una lettura stimolante, capace di catturare il lettore con riflessioni motivazionali che non solo ispirano, ma invitano a riconsiderare il proprio approccio alla vita. Con uno stile sobrio ma incisivo, il libro guida verso un modo di vivere più equilibrato e produttivo, aiutandoci a focalizzare le nostre capacità e a trarre il massimo dal nostro potenziale. Le sue pagine sono una fonte di arricchimento, in grado di ampliare le conoscenze e fornire strumenti concreti per affrontare con determinazione e serenità le sfide di ogni giorno.
