wow, this is terrible. The ludicrously bad story woven around the ultimately blog-post-sized advice has some of the worst writing I've ever experienced. Wow.

Robin Sharma’s latest work “The 5 A.M Club” (“the book”) presents itself as a formidable contender for “The Worst Book of 2018” award. Extraordinarily insipid, extremely uninspiring and inexplicably long-winded, the book is well served remaining unread! Replete with borrowed quotes, resonating with irrelevant similes, and riding on a by now familiar philosophy, Robin Sharma feebly and futilely attempts to package old wine in a new bottle. Unfortunately, the damaged quality of the bottle deterior...

Disappointed. I was expecting a straightforward book with clear advice. Instead, I got a book with boring characters.Not recommended.

This is impressively terrible. Wow. Got about 40 pages in, skimmed the rest, laughed, and deleted, never to read again. Dang, that is some truly awful writing.

The 5 AM Club is the place where leaders and victors are made. It is the special hour that exists before the sun rises and when most of the population is still asleep. This time is for a dedication to and preservation of ourselves and what we do during these sixty precious minutes can impact not only the hours to come, but the rest of our lives beyond it.I like to consume self-improvement books at semi-regular intervals. Whilst many similarities might lie inside their pages and the format remain...

Here's a mental exercise. Take the ubiquitous adage of "the early bird gets the worm", or any approximate platitude, and then stretch that concept out into not a 250 word blog post - but a full blown book. I am still in the process of listening to the audio version of this book and I feel that I must continue to read it because I'm starting to enjoy the strain on my eyes as they roll to deeper into my head. This drivel contains the most rudimentary group of characters that seem as if they were s...

This is the second book of Robin Sharma that I read many years after ‘The Monk who sold his Ferrari’. This book suffers from many of the same issues as the other one – a silly wrapper story to general guidelines on self-improvement. The book starts of with a group of people attending a workshop with ‘The Spellbinder’, a self-improvement guru. Among the attendees are an entrepreneur, an artist, and a seemingly homeless man. We are soon told about how the homeless man is not really that – he is a

Instead of writing a short, succinct book explaining his theories and methods accompanied by true anecdotal supporting evidence and which could have been used as a handy reference guide, the author has chosen to mire this information in a fictional account that is both poorly written and just plain annoying. Take for example this line of dialogue — “...That groovy cat was a pretty gnarly dude.” This is the tone of the dialogue throughout — phoney forced jive talk. If I’d had to read one more “an...

I finished this book and I can honestly say that this wins the “worst book award of the decade.” For some who states that it took 4 rigorous years to create this manuscript, I would be embarrassed.You want to know the takeaways without reading a terrible story....Well here it isWake up at 5am20/20/20 Formula is about breaking that golden hour into 20 minute blocks20 intense workout20 meditation/reflection20 grow (as In learning from books, et cetera)I’ll tell you this, wake up at 5am and workout...

This is honestly the worst book I have ever read in my entire life. This book is actually a fictional allegory for productivity and it reads like it was written by a 5th grader. Honestly, it’s 311 pages of waste written like the positive story your racist aunt reposted on Facebook. Truly terrible. I hated it so much that I was inspired to actually review it. Fuck this book.

It's a self help book that tries to be a novel and fails on both accounts. The prose is purple, the characters are flatter than my pathetic attempt at making pie crust and there isn't a single dialog tag that the author didn't shove in. There's a ridiculously superficial romance subplot (tho that would imply there is any kind of plot to this) that made me bang my head against the table in frustration. Also, there's a quirky mentor figure - he randomly starts exercising and/or yodeling whenever h...

You must have read many self-help books. I have too, but I always prefer biographies to self-help books. The reason being they all sound the same. So I am pretty surprised with this book. It has actually helped me with my goals. One particular quote from the book which really worked for me is, "Stop managing your time and start managing your focus." Isn't that true? I mean, don't we talk about time being the most valuable thing. Well, what is the use of being disciplined if you don't know what y...

Re-read Nov 2021:Such a classic! So many great take aways. I just hate the way this book is delivered. Soooooo much fluff of a few random characters, completely unnecessary but still absolutely love the practical take aways from this book.1st Read in Oct 2019:My my my this book really moved me. It influenced me greatly to wake up at 5am daily and to be not only the most productive I've ever been but to also have fun! Work hard play hard as they say.The only thing that I didn't really like was ho...

I admire the writer for attempting a new concept of sharing motivation idea in a fiction way to get readers interested in it. The author has shared a beautiful concept to develop inner power to get external achievements. It also shares how should we develop our inner power by following daily rituals. 5 AM club doesn't only share the benefits of waking up early but it shares how powerful it impacts on our rest day activities. The book helps to develop the habit of rising early and also shares wha...
