The 5 AM Club – Own Your Morning. Elevate Your Life – Paperback – 19 December 2018

Ever since I joined PGIMER, Chandigarh as a postgraduate resident, automatically I had become a life member of 5 AM Club. Whatever I am today, I attribute it to this 'keystone' habit of mine. Robin Sharma's new book, "The 5 AM club" has further reinforced my belief in rising early in the morning. Robin Sharma has emerged as a master storyteller ever since his first book "The monk who sold his Ferrari," published way back in 1997. I read that book sometime around the year 2000. And ever since then, I have become his ardent fan. I have the entire collection of his books, and personally, I have been benefitted in every walk of my life. (I hope he does not ask for a royalty!) Robin created a lot of buzz around this new book for the past four years, and he has lived up to the expectations. "The 5 AM Club" is not a story. It has all the lessons required to succeed in our personal, family and professional lives. Robin compels us to change for better, with his signature quote, "Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end." He has introduced several innovative infographics to help readers understand his masterly concepts as he passionately narrates his story. There are also several cinematic twists and turns to keep the readers bound to the book. And of-course there are many of his game changing formulas. The book can easily be made into a motion picture as it follows Aaron Sorkin's 3-act structure. And now Robin has become a poet also! There are 2 - 3 beautiful poems. Here are the three most important take-home messages for me from this brand new Robin's page-turner: 1. "Life's is too short to play small with your talents." 2. "Your excuses are seducers, your fears are liars, and your doubts are thieves." 3. "The moment when you most feel like giving up is the instant when you must find it in you to press ahead." Robin has been my Dronacharya, and I hope this review of this Ekalavya for his book will be an apt Guru Dakshina (Royalty!). Dr. Prahlada N.B Chitradurga.

This book is a life changer. It educates us on - how to use early mornings effectively. I would like to thank the author, Mr. Robin Sharma. The quality of the pages were perfect and received the book in proper condition. Thanks to the seller and Amazon.

This book is the pioneer of how we must lead our life the best way and why we must join the 5AM Club. The only bad thing about this book is that the forced love story shown was absolutely unnecessary and the disguises given to the spellbinder was absolutely unnecessary. Overall this book can transform your life if the points told are taken seriously

Book is very beautiful written I wish I could have got this when I was young life transformation lesson and how life can be lived .. loved the book

This book didn’t just change my mornings it changed my mindset. Waking up at 5 AM felt impossible… until The 5 AM Club made it powerful. Simple habits, sharp focus, real discipline. Read it. Apply it. Watch your life level up.🔥📖

Very important book

I am avid reader and read anything which can be read and give some insight in life. During that reading, i came across the book, "A monk who sold his ferrari" by Robin Sharma; almost a decade back. I became fan of him. I read few self improvement book before it; like you can win, who moved my cheese, who ate my cheese, eat that frog, rich dad poor dad etc. But i preferred fluidity and easy concept by robin sharma. I have heard more than 80 you tube lectures from Robin Sharma, almost more than 3 times each. I read so many notes from robin sharma nation. This whole introduction, just to say; i am long time follower of Robin Sharma. Then since last 6 months, waiting for this book 5 am club. I preordered it . In his typical language, i am going to deconstruct his book. I read it taking good time. Few chapters, i reread for better under standing. For few chapter; i have made few simple notes to avoid lengthy story line. So after reading his book, after following him from more than a decade; these are my views. First and foremost, any read which is non digital, is better. So better to grab a book. Reading always gives a new dimension to same thing which has been told in you tube or read on net by same author. Diagrams are fabulous things in whole book. I printed few diaphragms and stuck on my room wall. Reading slow makes thing wonderful for book like this, as few things are really crowded. I mean so many things in one or two page, and nothing to grab for two more page. One need to makes some notes in last 70 pages. It is relatively easy read linguistically, but not as fluid as A monk who sold his ferrari, Who should read and digest this book: In one line, this is a book for people who believe that discipline is worst thing in life. This book will explains you importance of discipline, how disciplined one hour in morning lead you to planning your whole day, week and life, and how you can fulfill your complete family and professional life satisfactorily. Scientific basis of everything is explained wherever possible and needed. Hardest part of book, is implementing principles in real life. And as Robin Sharma used to say; all changes are hard at first, messy in middle and gorgeous at the end. After hearing 80 lectures; more than 3 times each, reading almost everything on robinsharma.com; this book sometimes feel repetative. Actual principles of 5 am club, starts in last 70 pages. Reading is always better than listening pod casts or viewing you tube videos; but still. Except those diagrams, which are extremely helpful, all contents i have heard in a way or other in podcasts and youtube. But still i read this book and willing to read 2-3 times more if i can get something more . Rating is just based on my expectations.

It you want to build good habits, then its a good start to read and implement.

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.
