The Miracle Morning: trasforma la tua vita un mattino alla volta, prima delle 8:00 by Hal Elrod
maagi's review against another edition
1.0
DNF @ 59%.
I might be too cynical and too negative for this kind of stuff, but... I couldn't even finish the book.
I love waking up early, after sleeping at least nine hours, I love getting stuff done in the morning, I love a brisk walk and some meditation, so I kind of agree with the basic premise of the book, but the execution is mostly self-important and pompous to the point of eye-rolling and DNF'ing. Guess that's the way self-help books do things, and guess there's the reason I seldom read them.

The premise of this book is that the first hour of your day determines your life. I'm totally on board with that! Hal's suggestions on what to do with the hour seem to agree with every single other self help book I've ever read. I found his insistence on waking crazy early a tough one to swallow, but again, I don't think he's wrong. Having listened on audio, I'm knocking a star off for repetitiveness to the point of distraction, though in all fairness it may have been because I was straddling chapters between listens.

It's good, great message, but you get the point after 2 chapters

Good message, didn’t need to be as long as it was IMO but the writing is helpful for someone who needs things completely broken down.

I have read a few self-help book, mainly due to curiosity more than believing I need help. Fortunately there are a few nuggets of information you can take from them. With Hal Elrod's book I do not not think this is the case.
Books such as The Miracle Morning usually have the same premise. A person is successful but is not fulfilled, overcomes adversity of some kind and comes out of it with the answer to people's problems. I am not taking anything away from the writer's accident as described in the beginning of the book. He should be admired for overcoming that alone. But to then face financial difficulty following his accident to then discover getting up early and doing things is the answer to everyone's problems is not the best premise for a book.
This one ticks all the same boxes as many other self help books. Eat more healthy, exercise more, write in a journal and read more, whilst at the same time selling us the Miracle Morning journal or the The Miracle Morning health shakes feels a little disingenuous especially when you know the writer is an ex-salesman.
