I admit I was expecting a more feel good book, but what I got was an inspiring wake up call. Wow I am fired up reading this about what I can accomplish when those accomplishments start with God. Went right out and bought "The Circle Maker" Thanks for such a life changing read.

Although I'm familiar with a lot of this information, there is still more I can be doing to help kick start my day. I think I would really have a hard time giving up coffee, but after reading this book, I'm open to giving yerba mate tea a try. There were also several other suggestions that I'm going to try to incorporate into a morning ritual.

I loved the Chinese proverb, The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. I'm resolving to take a second look at my morning ritual and start using some of these ideas Now!

I have always been a morning person, but I know many people who are not and wish they could get going in the morning. I'm going to recommend this book to them.

Jen brings you into her life. Many can relate but it's the best wake up call a person can get. Talk about being knocked down and learning and truly becoming humble.

I love love love waking up with this light. This is excellent if regular alarms make you jumpy. I wish it had a radio feature, or nature sounds, and that it had dusk simulation, but that's why it's just the basic model. This is a great one for seeing how you like it, but I'll probably give this as a gift to family,  and get the fancier model for myself soon!

Ive been waking up to this clock for over a month. I like that its a gentle way to wake up. The alarm noise isn't jarring, and I just wake up instead of hitting snooze on a clock radio several times and staying groggy. I didn't like the brightness of the numbers until I found the dim-numbers button on the side.

What a great way to wake up!!! I have to stop myself from reading this book all at once. Witty words of inspiration and wisdom with my coffee is just what I need to get me going in the morning.

I live in Seattle, which means I can go months at a time without ever seeing sunlight. Starting around late-September, I start waking up in the dark. By the time November hits, I wake up in the dark, go to work in the dark, spend the day inside an office building, and go home in the dark. It can be depressing.

I bought the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Philips-goLITE-BLU-Light-Therapy-Device/dp/B001I45XL8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Philips goLITE BLU Light Therapy Device</a>&nbsp;a few years ago to see if it could help with the winter blues, and I was amazed at how well it works. It is like a concentrated shot of sunshine that wakes my body up in the morning and gets me ready for the day. I love it, and have learned to trust in these Philips light devices.

I have been wanting one of these "dawn alarm clocks" for awhile now to help with another problem; waking up in the pitch dark. No matter what time I go to bed, or how many hours I sleep, my body tends to reject the idea that it should be getting up when it is as dark as the inside of a closet. I have to put my alarm clock across the room and drag myself out of bed. It doesn't make for fun mornings. Could Philips help me again?

After using this "Philips Wake-up Light" for about a week know, I am happy to say that it is equally awesome. This is exactly what I have been wanting. Somehow, waking up in a lit room makes all the difference. And I dearly, dearly love the slow brightening. This isn't a sudden shock to your system, like someone flicking on the light switch. Your body is brought naturally out of sleep with a rising light level, so by the time you open your eyes it feels like it is time to get up.

There are plenty of options on this wake-up light, and I think everyone will need to fiddle with it awhile to see what works for them. The first time I used it, I set the light to full brightness and had it aimed for my face. It is bright!! Glaring!! So I ended up moving it across the room, and aiming the light at the far wall so that the light appears more natural and reflects off the wall. You can set the duration for a couple of different times. I haven't found much difference personally between the 30 and 20 minute settings. I suppose it depends on how light sensitive you are.

Along with the light, there are a couple of different alarm sounds, including a radio. The sounds are OK ... some bird song, a little white noise, some wind chimes, jungle sounds, and a couple of music pieces. I have been using the bird song, which I like.  But the sounds were something I was disappointed with.  I have another alarm clock that slowly raises the volume of the sound the same way this wake-up light slowly increases the brightness.  It seems like a no-brainer to connect the two, so that the nature sounds come in slowly with the light.  But that option is not available.

I also found programming the clock to be a bit of a pain.  Like many modern instruction manuals, there are few written instructions, just images to guide you through the process.  It took me awhile of tapping buttons to figure out how to get the clock and alarm set, and what my options are.  It isn't as intuitive as it could be. But once it is set, it is set, so this is only a minor headache at the beginning.

There are some other cool features here.  I love the touch-to-snooze feature.  It almost makes it too easy to head back to bed!  And I haven't played around with the "dusk" mode yet, as I generally don't have the same problem going to sleep as I do waking up.  But it seems like a good idea.  The light is definitely bright enough to read by, and I could see reading in bed while the light slowly dims as a good way to get sleepy.

So a few minor quibbles, but over all awesome.  This is one of those devices I wish I had got years ago.  It has improved my gloomy Seattle mornings immensely.

I did a fair amount of online research before buying this, and this is a life changer!

I used to wake up feeling groggy each morning, snoozing my phone alarm up to four or five times.  It got to the stage where I would snooze it in my sleep and end up waking up late.  With the Wake Up light alarm, i wake up much more naturally (sometimes before the alarm goes off) and get up straight away, feeling fresh and well rested.  The alarm clock is easy to use, has 3 different alarms including FM radio, and adjustable display light, lighting and sound.  You can also use it as just a light as well.

The only negatives are that the display is reasonably bright even on the lowest setting and that once the plug comes out of the wall, you have to reset the time (the alarm keeps its time, though).  These I can live with, as its had such a huge impact on my life, I'm telling everyone about it!  Not sure if you can buy this model in Australia, but no need for a voltage adapter.

That's the wake up call that this book is all about! And one of the many thoughts that stuck with me as I nodded my way through the pages - highlighting, folding corners, and making lists of who should read it - nephews, siblings, customers. Love It, Don't Leave It gives us permission, steps, stories, and encouragement to figure out what we want (at work and in life), take charge, stay focused and make it happen right where we are. Finally, a grown up book that shifts responsibility to the real owners of work satisfaction - each of us!

THIS BOOK IS A WAKE-UP CALL FOR ME, AND IT SHOULD BE FOR ANYBODY THAT CARED TO BE MORE THAN AVERAGE IN LIFE...

The two things I liked most about this book is that (1) it taught me how to change my perspective about waking up and (2) it gave me a plan to help accomplish my goal of waking up earlier. For example, the author talks about how we should view our alarm clock as a friend who is trying to wake us up to start a new daily adventure, instead of as an annoying loud electrical device.  And how the decision to rise or remain in bed "in that minute" when the alarm sounds is the critical decision that will dictate your day. For me, doing the right thing in "that minute" really simplified the solution for me and making those slight changes in my mindset was half the battle.  I know it all sounds a bit corny and perhaps over-simplified,  but I've read numerous articles and tips over the years on how to be an early riser and none of those tips proved successful for me.  This book made me realize that being an early riser is as much of a mental change as it is a physical change and it gave me a practical road map for implementing both types of changes in my life.

This book was a such a blessing. While weight is not my issue I needed a SHIFT in my finances and this book was a wake up call. I am so thankful that Tory decided to be so transparent with her testimony.

Dr. Monteith has done a great and urgently needed wake up message for America's survival. It is scary, truthful, and to the point. I can only wish enough concerned lovers of our country could become aware of our impending demise, if not too late. There are agents of the devil sucking the blood of our nation. They need to be purged sooner than later.
Thank you Dr. Morteith.

Not too bold, but enough to give my morning a little kick.

After purchasing this book, one needs to email the author for the MP3 downloads of the activations. For me, this package is excellent value. I find the recordings most relaxing and encouraging, and the energy contained in them builds from week to week (12 activations, do one per week). The activations promote spiritual healing and protection by uniting with one's I AM Presence.

I seem to be progressing well at the moment, thanks to Brian's help. I now have more energy and alertness, and am doing my best to detox as much as possible. I found the 6th invocation particularly good, and shall be starting the 7th on Sunday.
