For my second book, I chose a short one that had been recommended to me during my MBA program - WHICH I'M ALL DONE WITH - called The Miracle Morning.
The Miracle Morning
By: Hal Elrod
Genre: Self-Help

Summary:
What if you could miraculously wake up tomorrow and any—or every area of your life was transformed? What would be different? Would you be happier? Healthier? More successful? In better shape? Would you have more energy? Less Stress? More Money? Better relationships? Which of your problems would be solved?
What if I told you that there is a "not-so-obvious" secret that is guaranteed to transform any—or literally every area of your life, faster than you ever thought possible? What if I told you it would only take 6 minutes a day?
Enter The Miracle Morning. What’s now being practiced by thousands of people around the world could perhaps be the simplest approach to creating the life you’ve always wanted. It’s been right there in front of us, but this book has finally brought it to life.

My Thoughts:
So, I don't do a lot of self-help books, the most I have read were some for my management classes for my MBA - the ones I have read weren't try to sell me something nearly as hard as this book was. Goodness, every single page was telling me to go to his website, download this program, get his special journal. Crap man, you are presenting some pretty good ideas here, stop it with the selling!
It ticked me off.
But it didn't tick me off enough that I'm not going to try this. Granted I find it funny that I came across this when I'm doing a 24 hour readathon and so my sleep schedule is going to be whack for a couple of days, though I feel I can implement his ideas to improve my life.
Things I'm excited to try:
- Going to bed thinking that I will wake up just fine. He says that if I do this it doesn't matter how much sleep I get, if my mind thinks I got enough sleep then I will be able to get up in the morning.
- A daily affirmation. I'm going to try this with the write down something 15 times to make it true thing that my friends got me started on.
- Visualization - I have forgotten the future I want to have and so feel like the wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead. I'm hoping taking the time to conscientiously picture my ideal future will give me purpose.
Things I'm not excited to try:
- Going to his website.
- Getting an accountability buddy.
- Sharing this book as though it was gospel.
Am I going to try this? Yes - on my own terms. Will you ever know about how it turned out?...probably not because well that's not how I roll. All in all it was a fine book. Definitely short and I think he added in all the self-promotion in order to get more pages out of it. Though I'm hoping it will at least add a little value to my life.
