Master Your Morning Routines review
A $17.99 morning routine ebook, credited to a doctor with an invented degree in habit psychology.
Pass
Morning routines are among the most written-about subjects in self-help, and this covers them competently on the evidence of its own contents list. Two things count against it. The first is chronotype: a fixed early routine works badly for people who are biologically evening types, and the seller sells a separate title arguing exactly that, which this one ignores. The second is the credit line, a PhD in Habit Psychology held for thirty-four years, which is not a degree; habit research is real and published by named academics whose books are in every library.

The first hour
Rituals, structure, movement and mindfulness, and removing morning chaos.
Competent coverage of a subject that has been written about thousands of times.
Not everyone is a morning person
Evening types perform worse on a forced early schedule, whatever the routine.
The same seller sells a title arguing that, which this one does not acknowledge.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Marlene Cruz with a PhD in Habit Psychology and 34 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 356000+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
