The Morning Myth

How Every Night Owl Can Become More Productive, Successful, Happier, and Healthier

By: Frank J. Rumbauskas

Narrated by: Tim Fannon

Society largely praises early risers, while maligning so-called "night owls." However, countless research studies have consistently shown that night owls are more successful and wealthier than early risers.

The Morning Myth is intended to show that, indeed, night owls are generally more successful in life than early risers. The book is intended to restore self-confidence to night owls and help them to achieve more on their natural schedules, and also to inform employers on just how much productivity they're losing by forcing night owls to be at work bright and early, and advising them on how to schedule both early risers and night owls for maximum productivity to the employer and maximum happiness to the employee.

rant

i get that he was trying to engrained that night owls can be better than early birds, but honestly it was tiring to hear.

A lot of repetition.

I'm about halfway through, and I think I got it... so far, this whole book has been mostly a jerk fest for night owls to say, "ACTUALLY, I'm better than you, and here's why." As an extreme night owl myself, it is nice to hear a counter-argument to The Miracle Morning. This book has given me a few resources to pull up the next time my mom tries to tell me that at 31 I shouldn't be staying up late like I do, nor should I allow my teenager to do it too. Overall, it's an alright story if you don't mind a lot of repetition. The narration, however, is rather distracting due to the fact that the book seems to have been primarily recorded in one studio and re-recorded pieces done in a different studio. The sudden vocal pitch changes make it sound almost like a second person is butting in and finishing his sentences at random throughout the book. 3 🌟's because of the very obvious re-recorded pieces. 3 🌟's because of repetition. The whole thing is kinda meh. It's worth giving to a tyrant of an early bird boss, though.

Couldn't finish just a pissed off guy

Could not finish the book after three hours of Rant about how the world is after people who sleep in.. I understand a third if the world sleeps in... this book could have been an article.. I will go back and finish but you can only take so much for so long.. Not getting a refund either... just way to long. Concept is good.

Long rant

I am a night owl, and this book hits some great insights on late sleepers. Most of the book seemed to be a long rant about how early risers are big bullies. Good story overall, but I would rather read a small section on a blog per say, read a small part of each chapter to get the full idea.
