Super Short Summary

The 5 AM Club by Robin Sharma follows a despondent entrepreneur who, facing significant personal and professional hardships, attends a seminar by an elderly motivational speaker known as "the Spellbinder." After the seminar, she and a fellow attendee, "the artist," are invited by a seemingly unhoused man, who is actually a wealthy individual named Stone Riley, to join him in Mauritius where they learn transformative lessons on personal growth and the power of discipline, including the foundational habit of rising at 5:00 a.m.
