Rethinking Morning Routines: Why 'My Morning Routine' Didn't Inspire Me to Change

My Morning Routine: How Successful People Start Every Day Inspired
by Benjamin Spall, Michael Xander
"My Morning Routine" by Benjamin Spall and Michael Xander promises to reveal the secrets of successful people's morning habits. However, after reading the book, I was left with more questions than answers.
The authors interviewed a diverse range of individuals, from entrepreneurs to creative professionals, about their morning routines. While the interviewees may be considered "successful" in their respective fields, I found myself questioning the very definition of success. Many of the featured individuals were simply normal people running small businesses or caring for their families. Their morning routines were not extraordinary or unattainable for the average person.
As I delved into the book, I noticed a common thread among the interviewees' habits - adequate sleep, regular exercise, and a healthy diet. These are hardly revolutionary insights; they are basic principles of well-being that we've all heard before. So, I found myself wondering, why did I spend time reading about something so universal and obvious?
Ultimately, the book failed to convince me that adopting a specific morning routine is the key to success. Instead, it reinforced the idea that everyone's path to success is unique. The interviewees followed vastly different steps each day, yet they all seemed to be thriving in their own way. This suggests that the secret to success is not in following a prescribed morning routine, but in trusting your own instincts and lifestyle choices.
In conclusion, "My Morning Routine" left me feeling underwhelmed. While the book provided some interesting insights into the morning habits of successful individuals, it did not offer any groundbreaking revelations or a one-size-fits-all solution to success. The true takeaway is that we should focus on what works best for our own lives, rather than trying to emulate the routines of others.
