A Woman Makes a Plan
By Maye Musk

When Maye Musk decided to make grey hair glam, she became an
international cover model in her sixties - a far cry from the single
mother living in a small Durban apartment trying to make ends meet
to provide for her three kids. Things have not always been easy or
glamorous for the mother of South African-born entrepreneur Elon
Musk.
She is a survivor of domestic abuse at the hands of her first husband;
she struggled emotionally and financially as a single mom; battled
weight issues; and she had to restart her life and her practice as
a dietician in numerous new cities over and again. In all these
accounts, Maye's indomitable spirit is apparent.
She overcame her hardships with a no-nonsense attitude to become
a global success at what she calls the 'prime of her life'. She also
shares hard-earned wisdom and frank, practical advice on career (the
harder you work, the luckier you get), family (let those you love go
their own way), health (there is no magic pill), adventure (make room
for discovery, but always be ready for anything), and more.

Although you can't control everything, you can live a happier,
healthier and fun-filled life at any age. All you have to do is make a
plan.

The 5AM Club
By Robin Sharma
Legendary leadership and elite performance expert Robin Sharma
introduced The 5am Club concept over twenty years ago, based on a
revolutionary morning routine that has helped his clients maximise their
productivity, activate their best health and bulletproof their serenity
in this age of overwhelming complexity. Now, in this life-changing book,
handcrafted by the author over a rigorous four-year period, you will discover
the early-rising habit that has helped so many accomplish epic results
while upgrading their happiness, helpfulness and feelings of aliveness.
Through an enchanting-and often amusing-story about two struggling
strangers who meet an eccentric tycoon who becomes their secret
mentor, The 5am Club will walk you through: * How great geniuses,
business titans and the world's wisest people start their mornings to
produce astonishing achievements * A little-known formula you can use
instantly to wake up early feeling inspired, focused and flooded with a
fiery drive to get the most out of each day * A step-by-step method to
protect the quietest hours of daybreak so you have time for exercise, self-
renewal and personal growth * A neuroscience-based practice proven
to help make it easy to rise while most people are sleeping, giving you
precious time for yourself to think, express your creativity and begin the
day peacefully instead of being rushed * 'Insider-only' tactics to defend
your gifts, talents and dreams against digital distraction and trivial
diversions so you enjoy fortune, influence and a magnificent impact on
the world. Part manifesto for mastery, part playbook for genius-grade
productivity and part companion for a life lived beautifully, The 5am Club
is a work that will transform your life. Forever.
