Book Review #11 - The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma

Good Day,

The 5 AM Club

by Robin Sharma

This book is not just about waking up early, it is much more profound in its approach, wisdom and techniques.

Summary:

An eccentric billionaire invites an assiduous female entrepreneur and a laid back male artist to Mauritius, so that they can partake a journey around the world to some of the most phenomenal and eloquent places like Taj Mahal at Agra, Spanish steps at Rome, Beaches of Mauritius and Robben Island at Cape Town. During this journey, billionaire and the spellbinder teach these two, some of the most worthwhile working models to enhance  their lifestyle.

Can anyone become successful in their lives by following these working models?

Review:

I can simply end (but it wont be fun) this review by guaranteeing that if you read this book and follow the tactics given in this book religiously then you will surely make something good out of your life. Provided you have a burning passion.

"Own Your Morning and Elevate your Lifestyle"  

This has been the credo of the book, you may find it cliché as this statement is self explanatory and everyone is aware of the inference it draws, yet only few can emulate this principle in their life. Book includes a "Detailed" list of rules regarding the morning routine. 

Start of the book was pretty slow further when the author includes a section where he extols the credo of the book, I thought it is unrealistic. I was having second thoughts about this book. But do not desist because as the book progresses, pace of the story remains the same and neither does the story become anymore interesting but the experiences which the author wants us to have of the places mentioned above are engrossing and you start connecting to the characters. This book is stunning, not for its story rather for it's abundant knowledge, lucidly written description and heart touching simplicity. You can consider this book a complete experience(read it with patience).

I personally am not following the morning routine but this book has plethora of tactics on strengthening your will power, increasing positive energy in your life, cultivating new habits(discarding the deviant one's) and it also teaches about values and ethics which are the cardinal pillars of this coveted lifestyle. So I practice those principles for improving myself (Heart, Soul, Body and Mind). You can always start with the baby steps, gradually incorporating those models in your life.

"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default"

-Robert Galbraith 

This quote pretty much answers the question of the book. Every time you fail, you get stronger and try making these models a part of your life with increased rigour. If you have this spirit, you are fated to be successful.

My opinion: You have a lot to gain from this book. So do read it..

By the way Comment Down A book which you have read by Robert Galbraith... I
