It's one of THOSE self-help books. Very rah-rah, very "I was down and now I am up and YOU CAN TOOO!!!!!1!!!1!!"

That's not why I read it.

I've been trying to come up with my own morning routine that would help me get my ass in gear, work on the things I think are important, and basically get more focus and traction on the projects and aspects of life I want to improve. But it's been hard to clarify to myself what that morning should look like.

The idea of the Miracle Morning is basically what I've been looking for. It's a really decent framework for getting my mornings set up in such a way that I can hit the highlights of how I want to start my day. I do agree with Hal's statement that how you start your morning really does set the tone for the day. I think the ideas in this book will help me create my own morning routine that will make me happy.

Was the writing good - most the time no. He echoes a lot of self-help gurus, quotes people probably a little too much (says the girl who LIKES quotes), and brings in a lot of his own opinion on stuff that science actually has some more accurate input on. That being said, the ideas in the book are solid and worth the read. I just skimmed the bits that got too RAHRAH or that were plain silly ("believe you won't be tired and you won't be tired, 5 hours of sleep will be enough!!" um. no.)

Very American, type A stuff but has a decent structure and system for starting your day.

The good: if you strip away all the stories and achievement bollocks at the start, there's actually a good enough system for getting your day underway on a productive note.

The bad: a bit 1980s self-help for the rest of the book. The classic 'I was on top of my game and smashing my targets and had it all...' 'Then tragedy struck....'.

Some people might draw motivation from reading it but if you've heard all that before and aren't interested in giving it 3,000% just skip to the actual routine section. Book could have been 5 pages and just as useful.

Mein Gott ist das Buch amerikanisch. Mit allem was dazugehört: Dem jungen Helden, der erst scheitern muss um anschließend wie der Phoenix aus der Asche steigt. Dem Pathos. Der manischen Art hinter dem Versuch einem 60 Minuten mehr Zeit morgens als Antidot zum Leben wie wir es kennen zu verkaufen.

Nicht falsch verstehen - vieles davon funktioniert sicher. Ich stehe tatsächlich schon lange so früh auf und habe in diesem Buch nicht nach Argumenten für dieses Verhalten sondern Verbesserungen für meinen morgendlichen Ablauf gesucht.

In einer anderen Rezension habe ich gelesen, dass dieses Buch - eingedampft um die unnötigen Teile - etwa 5 Seiten stark wäre. Ich gebe eine sechste hinzu - damit der Autor seine zweifelsfrei spannende Geschichte in angemessenem Rahmen wiedergeben kann.

Hal Elrod breaks every rule in the "how to write a good book" manual. From bad grammar and self-indulgence to unsubstantiated claims and lack of brevity.

I was about to read this book a few months back but read the GoodRead comments and thought "Yeah, that seems to sum it up. *next*". Yesterday I saw a friend was half way through and saying good things.

I read this in one sitting. That's usually a compliment. But what I mean is that you can skip nearly everything and still get the core message.

Attacks on the writing style aside (Sorry Hal, I'm sure you're a dude) the techniques to be learned are important.

1) Get up earlier and use that time for self-development.
- Run an experiment to find out how much sleep you really need. Stop believing it's 8 hours because you've been told that all your life. Maybe its 9. Maybe it's 5.

2) Want to self-develop in the afternoon instead? Fuggedaboutit. The day gets away from us all. By evening you're tired. But you control what time you wake up - you can carve out an extra hour (or 15 minutes if that's what you're comfortable with).

3) Once you're up do the S.A.V.E.R.S:

S - Silence. Sit and shutthefuckup. Let's start the day with calm.
A - Affirmations. I'm amazing. I'm amazing. I'm amazing. I'm amazing. Maybe pick something more relevant to what you want. Vocalising it can be awkward at first but just pummel through it. It makes all the difference.
V - Visualisation. In your mind, see from a 1st and 3rd person perspective the life you want.
E - Exercise. Jump up and down. Do some situps. Just get the blood flowing and oxygen in your lungs.
R - Read a self-development book. Get some ideas in yobrainyo.
S - Scribe (aka write). Do a little Journal. This is left open: write what works for you.

You're done.

The real value here (for me, for you?) is taking control of your morning. It's the rudder that guides the day. You have the choice to start the day under pressure, running around, stressed and trying to get out the door by a certain time. Or, you can start it while everyone else is asleep, the world is still quiet and you can set yourself up to feel great.

I finished this book about a month ago. Changed my life (so far) in the following ways:
- Made me a morning person. I now sleep and wake up 3 hours earlier than I used to.
- With my new schedule, the amount of time I waste watching TV or playing video games have been reduced. It has been replaced by time with family and personal development time (reading books, exercising, practicing my profession).
- Reduced my alcohol intake. Before, staying up late watching TV or playing games by myself is usually accompanied by booze. I actually felt like I'm borderline alcoholic. But I don't do that anymore, thanks to this new schedule.
- I'm never late for work.
- I'm getting my 7-8 hours of sleep, making me well rested for the day.
- I start my days highly motivated and ready to tackle the challenges ahead.

Overall, the book was great, short, inspirational, and motivating for me personally.

Though this book may fall into a few of the trappings of the self-help genre which I have typically disliked, like the "positivity bubble" where we've got to go through our day thinking life is uber double-plus good (go team!), I advise people follow the suggested regiment of morning routines themselves and see if it doesn't improve their productivity.

Since I've tried the advised "SAVERS" steps, I saw almost immediate growth in my daily focus and productivity levels. I know I sound like a dumb commercial saying so, but seriously I don't see how people could follow the steps he prescribes and NOT improve.

Two main takeaways here: 1. You can not out-achieve your levels of personal development. You can try, but good luck. 2. The way you start your day sets a precedent for all of the things that follow. A pretty good theory if you ask me.

If you can get past how self absorbed the author is and all the blatant attempts to sell you on his ideology and products I think the concept is great and could help you become your best self. I plan to try a highly modified version of his miracle morning for a week and see if it makes any difference because I like the idea that starting your day the right way can make a difference.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why this book has garnered such a devoted fan base. Most of the ideas in it are nothing radical (meditation, exercising, visualizing, waking up early). I also could have done without the author's philosophical musings on success in the beginning, or the usual self-help subliminal messaging telling you what Elrod's version of "success" looks like and how to achieve his version of happiness. The writing is also pretty mediocre, and it's not particularly interesting or engaging to read.

All that said, I agree with his idea of making the most of your morning (and waking up early to do so).

He gives you an outline for your "miracle morning" involving 6 actions to take in the first hour of your morning:
- Meditation
- Affirmations
- Visualizations
- Exercising
- Reading
- Journaling

I liked his advice on going to sleep with positive intentions/affirmations, because it helps you wake up energized in the morning, feeling excited for the day, and helps you resist the temptation to hit the snooze button.

Overall, I'd recommend taking the time to read it (it's a very short book). I was already doing most of the actions involved in the "miracle Morning" before reading the book, so for me, the book didn't have any radically new information, but it was motivational and provided some good tips.

I think if you're already an active early riser, this book will just give you an extra boost of motivation, and help you upgrade your morning routine to include some actions you normally don't take (for me, visualization/affirmations). If you're not a morning person, this book might be a lot more useful for you.

The concept of having a morning routine is solid. I think a lot of us have a list of things we want to do, or know that we should do, for our health, happiness, and personal growth. But those same things are the easiest to just not do. Stacking them all in one chunk of time in the morning is genius. The author advocates as little as 1 minute and as much as 20 minutes for each task and he calculates that just 10 minutes of reading each day can add up to eighteen 200 page books a year. I love the idea of a little bit each day adding up and that the 'miracle morning' can be easily altered to best fit any one on any day. I'm currently in the process of figuring what what will work best for me, but I think this is habit that I will keep.

Now, for the book itself. It's not good at all. It only gets 2 stars because the idea is solid. I think the whole thing could have been described in a blog post. Writing a whole book about it was completely unnecessary. Also, I personally don't like the guys style. He's obviously a super enthusiastic and motivated salesman. I felt like I was being marketed to the entire time.

One of the books by an international speaker that has motivated thousands of people to develop in an extraordinary way. Hal uses his example to talk about the benefits of the miracle morning, thanks to which he changed his life. A must-read book. One of the reasons is to realize that your success is at your fingertips.

This is more 2.5 stars, but definitely not 3 stars.

First of all, this book is really repetitive. Like really.
Second of all, all the participants tried this program once and they could do it right away. What about us the folks who fail multiply times?
Third of all, this book could be summarized in 10 pages, not 100+.
Forth of all, it was just like an advertisement how it was the best.

Basically, this is a book for someone who wants to wake up early (not like 4.30am but 6am). It does motivate you for few days, then it is gone.

I'll summarize the book: if you want to wake up early, sleep early and then boom you will wake up early and you need to be consistent and find a routine. You should find something that you want to do in the morning. Simple. I wrote this book in 4 lines. Yay me!

2.5 stars for the author for trying.

Ein schönes Buch, das sehr viel beibringt über die richtigen Strategien im Leben, diese, die zum Erfolg führen. Mit 60 Minuten pro Tag für DICH zum Erfolg. Meditation, Affirmation, Visualisierung, Sport, Lesen und Schreiben. Diese sechs Dinge machen aus dir mit der Zeit einen ganz anderen Menschen, einen der sich um sich kümmert und um seinen Erfolg.
Ein schönes Programm, das man sich ansehen sollte. Ich bin froh, dass ich es getan habe und stehe gerne morgens etwas früher auf, um mit diesen sechs Life-Safers meinen Tag zu beginnen. Einen besseren Tag, weil ich die erste Stunde mit mir in Ruhe und etwas Schönem verbringe!! (:
(Kann man übrigens abends auch noch mal machen...)

First book on my reading list for 2019 is a re-read. I have let my morning routine slip away without including my previously established morning miracle routine. Tomorrow morning will include it again, a bit at a time so I don't shock my system and abandon it again.

If you haven't read it yet, it's an oldie but a goodie. Seriously, don't discount it. Tony Robbins, Will Smith, Oprah and many other successful people get up early and have a morning routine that includes the same things that Hal Elrod includes in this book.

I thought this book was very empowering and motivating to help organize and improve your outlook on life. Some portions were a bit unreasonable as to trying to maintain this strict manner of living through a busy work day, but if maintained accordingly perhaps anything is possible.

It was a great way to show me how to start my days earlier and try to dedicate some time to myself in order to keep that positivity throughout the day.

Great read!

I was already on a morning routine, so Hal's book wasn't revolutionary. It helped me fill in some gaps and tweak my routine. At times I felt like I was reading sales copy and being pitched to buy this and sign-up for that. All-in-all it IS worth the time and money to get this book and change your morning, thus changing your life.

Hey, it's great that this method works for people but does the book really need to contain a thousand examples of success stories (although we can't even be really sure they're success stories as most only talk about the first 30-60 days or so... how are these people doing three years later, still using the method?)

Overall there is nothing revolutionary in this book.

Okay, so this is a workbook. Not great writing, tends to be repetitive. A lot of redundancy. So, who cares? The only thing that matters is, does the 'Miracle Morning' work? Verdict: It depends.

I write this during my own 'miracle morning,' which basically is a time set aside for personal development to assist one's quest to become a '10' in all areas of life (e.g. spiritual, career, health, happiness). The basic idea is, we're all busy folks that don't seemingly have time to spend on ourselves. So, we create our own!

For me, this is a helpful tool, but the salient point of the book must really be, how much sleep do we really need? Folks waking at 4am to spend a couple of hours on themselves conceptually seems like it'd be useful, but when do we sleep?! The author makes an interesting point, that is, experts can only agree to disagree about how much rest we really require to be functioning human beings. Moreover, our perception of how much sleep is needed is most significant. Simply put, if I THINK that 6 hours is enough to feel rested, that will do. If I think that number is 8 hours, anything less will make you feel tired. Jedi mind tricks.....

Luckily for me, I don't really require a ton of sleep. Also, my schedule is a bit more flexible. So, the concept works for me from a sleep perspective.

As for the personal development, like anything, it is what you make it. The SAVERS (Silence, Affirmation, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, Scribing) is standard stuff. If you buy into the Malcolm Gladwell 'Outliers' concept, this all makes sense. If one spends an hour or so a day doing pretty much anything, one can reasonably expect to improve that area, whether it be learning Albanian grammar, plyometrics, etc...

I've been doing this for a week. I think it's just an excuse to have some free time in the morning with my cup of coffee. :)

The book focuses on making sure you find your purpose in life and living each day to fulfill that purpose. After suffering from a near death experience and going into a state of depression, Hal was able to find his way back to success by winning the morning.

The key takeaway that I got from this book is the S.A.V.E.R.S method that Hal used to start off the day on the right foot:
Silence - in the form of meditation, prayer, reflection, deep breathing or gratitude
Affirmation - repeating one or many phrases over and over again to yourself to reprogram your brain, change your mindset, and remove limits we put on ourselves. Need to figure out what we really want, why we want it, who are we committed to being to create it, and what we're committed to doing to attain it.
Visualization - we need to first think about who we want to be, what do we want, and what do we need to do to get there. create your vision board
Exercise - goes without saving to maintain a healthy body
Reading - try reading for 10 minutes a day and you can read up to 18 books a year
Scribing - journaling helps with gaining clarity, capturing ideas, reviewing lessons, and acknowledging our progress.

Decent good - it's more of a compilation of other good books and quotes from successful people.
