1. The 20/20/20 Formula
The first hour of your day (5:00–6:00 AM) should be split into three 20-minute blocks:
20 mins – Move: Exercise to activate dopamine and energy.
20 mins – Reflect: Meditate, journal, or plan your day.
20 mins – Grow: Read, study, or learn something new.
This is the heart of the book.

3. The Four Interior Empires
Instead of just mindset, you must balance four “empires”:
Mindset — your thoughts
Heartset — emotional wellbeing
Healthset — physical fitness
Soulset — purpose and spirituality
True success = balance in all four.

4. Habit Formation: The 66-Day Rule
Sharma explains that any new habit goes through three stages:
Destruction (Days 1–22) – breaking the old pattern
Installation (Days 23–44) – difficult middle phase
Integration (Days 45–66) – the habit becomes natural
Stay consistent for 66 days to lock in the 5 AM habit.

5. Solitude Is a Superpower
Waking up at 5 AM gives you a “world-class” quiet zone.
No phones, no noise, no interruptions—just pure time for yourself.
This solitude helps creativity, clarity, emotional strength, and deep thinking.
