Feels like this book was a very condensed version of The artist’s Way. But also spoke to people who didn’t consider themselves artists. It wasn’t anything I hadn’t heard/read before so nothing earth shattering, but I really do appreciate how concise and to the point this was.
A great boost to my morning routine!

Good book, motivating and captivating. A bit light on substance - it really could all be said in a blog post….even the title tells you everything you need to know (which, to be fair, the author acknowledges right up front). Too, it’s an all or nothing approach - either you create first thing upon awakening or you’ve wasted the day - rather than a broader approach to life.
Went back and added a star now that I have actually acted on the advice for a few days!

Not prone to exaggerate or express hyperbole here, but this book has been a "life changer" for me. Not kidding. I love it.
