Summary of THE 5 AM CLUB

 

Robin Sharma wrote this book which is very appealing and it is very helpful for people to learn and become productive. Robin Sharma wrote a fictitious story to explain the tactics of becoming a history maker or a hero. Not waste our lives in being the ordinary, How to become extraordinary is what he teaches through his book, The 5 AM Club, ''Own your morning, Elevate your Life.''

The whole story revolves around four characters, the billionaire who ships as the mentor Mr. Stone Riley, the second character an artist who is stuck in his own labyrinth and he can't make good art even having that potential in himself he couldn't get to the highest level of it. And the third character is an Entrepreneur, the woman who raised a good business empire who was now giving up on life due to the stress and the shareholders of her enterprises who kept throwing her down. And the forth character is the spellbinder who is the chain of the whole story the guy with whom the story starts. He is the best friend of Stone Riley, a mentor and a teacher for him.

The book teaches us how essential it is to give ourselves time, At least sixty minutes from a whole day, having a busy and hectic life, coming home at night with sore shoulders giving our earning work time and also giving time to the people who are not that much important to us, slamming on our beds and stretching. Waking up to the alarm and rushing to get ready for work that's what 95% of our society do. Then feeling groggy the whole day, that sounds usual right?

Being ordinary sounds easy though, but what if we woke up early in the morning and before giving time to the routine work give ourselves 60 minutes? 

The book teaches us how to spend that 60 minutes of our day, it's called the 20/20/20 formula. And in the day applying the 60/1 formula and 90/90/1 formula which are all very helpful for becoming real heroes.

The essentials I learned from the book are stated below:

When you wake up early in the morning your brain is clean the amount of bandwidth is less, your mind is not over occupied with un necessary things. The tranquility at the early hours of day have been improved to make more ''dopamine'' and ''serotonin'' which helps you feel energized and ta peace.

To achieve self mastery it is important to balance the four interior empires of ourselves. 

1. Healthset
2. Mindest
3. Heartset
4. Soulset 

To achieve success having all of the above mentioned empires is essential.

By healthset he's trying to depict physical strength which is really understood that how can you achieve your goals if you are not physically that much able? 
By mindset he wants to refer to the brain, our complex brain keeps on showing us complexities of a task before done. And keeping your mind charged with all the positive vibes  all the positive energy is very important.
By heartset he wants to refer to our emotional well being, being emotionally intelligent is very important. Cultivating healthy emotions in yourself is vital. Expressing yourself is also very essential.
By soulset he means being spiritually strong. Reminding yourself everyday who you are and the things that make you who you are, and why are you doing the stuff you are doing.

Applying the 20/20/20 formula on the sixty minutes you are giving yourself also endures your four interior empires, the first 20 minutes you have to do hard exercise which will make you sweat a lot. The next twenty minutes you'll have to do meditation during meditation thinking about what you plan to do the whole day, how you'll do the tasks you are supposed to perform. And after meditation in these specific twenty minutes write these tasks in your journal, making a to-do list would be much of it. The last twenty minutes must be spend on self programming, reviewing your goals, and thinking what you'll probably do to achieve them. Listening to some audio books, and other speeches of the motivational speakers.

This book is a true inspiration, if you want to enter a new world become extra ordinary, becoming a part of the 5% and excluding yourself from the 95%, you have to become a member of 5AM club. Not only learn all the tactics but implying them in your daily life to become true heroes and one of the history makers.
