Well, I finished it, but I've never skimmed a book so hard in my life. The main point about waking up early to give yourself a valuable hour is legitimate. The activities suggested to fill the hour are worthwhile. If I could design the perfect day, it would have a lot in common with the structure suggested here. But this is a lot of book to say that and the structure of it being a novel really just felt like a circle jerk of haughtiness and randomness. I'd suggest skipping it and just looking up the core concepts.
Somewhere around 30% into the book I figured out that the endless unnecessary fable is not about to turn useful and the whole useful part could've been summarized into, oh, let's see, TWO SENTENCES.
I hate everything that preaches ultimate productivity, especially ones that also encourage unhealthy habits along the way.
Sure the book mentions “connection” “meditation” “not compromising sleep” and all the new healthy buzzwords, but in essence it's stating that in order to become “them” we need to compromise and throw away “us”.
