Awake to Your Why

63/100

Chapman writes with genuine energy and grounds the framework in a real personal story, which gives it more warmth than most 5 AM books, but the premise itself is well-trodden territory and the neuroplasticity claims are thin on citations. Readers already familiar with Hal Elrod or Robin Sharma will recognize the bones and find little that is new. Motivating for the right reader, but not distinctive enough to earn a strong recommendation.
