Recommendation

In consultant Robin Sharma’s self-help parable, an entrepreneur and an artist, both frustrated by failure, meet and travel with a mysterious billionaire, Stone Riley.

Elevate your life.” Riley emphasizes that success springs from starting your day at 5 a.m. He promises that will enable you to surpass your dreams, make history and free your inner genius. Sharma’s advice, though valid, is familiar from his other books. Recommended for his fans and those who love fables.

While doing one-armed push-ups, the man chants: “Own your morning. Elevate your life.” The artist and the entrepreneur agree that they would like to learn his secrets. He tells them they must break with their weak selves to find...
