You might not believe this, but you’re more of a morning person than you think.
I get why that can be hard to believe.
For years, I thought “morning people” were shiny Christians who leap out of bed like Disney princesses, hit the gym, exegete Leviticus, and iron their bedsheets.
All before 7 a.m.
Meanwhile the rest of us wake up with hair sticking out in seven different directions and a morning routine that an Instagram filter can’t fix.
That’s why I wrote a book about mornings for real people: with real jobs, real deadlines, real laundry piles, and real snooze buttons. I wanted to help you build a morning that fits your real life … and fills you with purpose and peace.
Whether you already like your mornings or are allergic to them,
this book is for you.
