The 5AM Club

I don’t normally write reviews but this book by far has been one of the best books I have ever read‼️

Why no audio book in English 😤

This book is amazing. It taught me tools and strategies to find my internal self. Also this book set you up with tools for success.

A good way to teach new lifestyle disciplines and habits, by using a story.

I originally picked up this book not knowing it was fiction, I still continued to read it nonetheless. The overall advise within joining the 5am club is useful; However, the character development was horrible. Two of the characters, the entrepreneur and the artist, fall in love within days after meeting making their interaction and development more cringe than intriguing. There are an ungodly amount of metaphors that seem unnecessary. The advise given is overly repetitive and take 30 pages to explain with pointless verbiage to give the characters more of a “philosophical” stance; when it could easily have been explained in the sum of 2 pages. This author had amazing key points and advice to give, however the fiction format seemed to be a little much for the writer. This book would have been so much better without the fiction character development. It’s nearly impossible to get through willingly due to the highly repetitive nature, and pointless storyline. I fully believe this author could have written the book with his advise and would have had such better ratings. It isn’t easy to follow due to the lack of character development. It is hard to feel a connection to the characters- true character development doesn’t come until the last 3-4 chapters. The storyline is drawn out. The reason I’m giving three stars is because the advice that is given is useful- however, you have to search for it in the dump of verbiage and useless story line. I know Robin Sharma has amazing work, this however isn’t one of them. If you’re going to read this book I recommend reading chapter 2 and skipping to chapter 9; this is where the 5am teachings truly begin. Another thing I want to point out is that a lot of what is being taught to the entrepreneur and artist is repeated throughout the chapters in an annoying manner. I’m not a hard critic this book and the characters in the book had the potential of being better.

No useful insights, just annoying characters

I learned so much while reading this book.

The positive affirmations in this book were so good I was dancing while I read. Honestly I’m waking when the sun rises, not often at 5am. Still kind of magic

I don’t care for fiction. I rarely, if ever, pick up a work of fiction, let alone enjoy it. I wish I knew what I was buying before buying. I felt like the book belittled the reader, and had too many “rah rah” moments for me to actually engage. I cringed at the “spellbinder.” Many of my hard lessons were learned from failure, and never from someone telling me I’m special. I get the sentiment, but I wish I knew what I signed up for. I would not recommend.

Great book! Although it may be fiction, it could just as easily be fact. Read this book! Rise early, own your morning & ELEVATE YOUR LIFE!
