Thought-provoking ideas for how to optimize your time and take advantage of your mornings to set yourself up for success. As a very much non-morning person, I found myself hitting the alarm less simply because this book inspired me to WANT to make better use of that time. It's been a life-changer!

Nice advice for how to approach the art of dialogue, something which many have never learned, or forgotten, in the modern age of the iPod.
