| The 5AM Club |
The 5 am club is a little we had been meaning to read for sometime, given it's reown and how frequently the title pops up on lists of best non-fiction book, which are written in a similar vein.
The book is constructed as a series of fictional interactions between a mentor and the two strangers he begins to instruct. Their meeting is strange and his mannerisms even more so,but they, against all logic,decide to trust him, and embark on a journey of challenges and change.
The readers also becomes known to the methods the madness,and the miracles this mentor provides, which are slowly revealed as the book progresses. In between his snippets of personal wisdom are facts of the three individual's daily lives and quotes from a multitude of admirable historical individuals.
Yes, this book's knowledge could be condensed into Twenty short page of instruction and yes, the contents are probably available elsewhere,but it is the journey taken to gain this understanding that impacted me to strongly. As the individuals come to realise facts of their lines and their characters, I too began to understand something of myself. There was nothing that made the pair similar to myself in any way other then our shared journey to understanding but this was enough.
