Your Mindful Morning: Start the Day Right review
A $17.99 morning mindfulness ebook, the second morning routine title from this seller, under an invented doctorate.
Pass
Mindfulness practice has decent evidence behind it for stress, and doing it in the morning is as good a time as any, so nothing here is harmful. The issues are familiar: the science behind mornings is promised and never cited, the seller already sells Master Your Morning Routines covering the same subject at the same price, and the credited doctor holds a PhD in Holistic Wellness with thirty-one years of experience, which is not an awarded degree. Free guided mindfulness recordings from health services and university programmes are more useful than a text description, because the practice is easier to learn by following along.

Mindfulness, in the morning
Morning mindfulness practices, gratitude, movement, focus and a short-on-time routine.
Mindfulness has reasonable evidence for stress, whatever time of day it happens.
The second morning title here
Master Your Morning Routines from the same seller covers the same subject at the same price.
Free guided recordings are a better format for learning the practice than a description.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Roberta Graham with a PhD in Holistic Wellness and 31 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 349000+ 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.

No, it is a text download.
How much does it cost?
$17.99 as a one-time payment, with no sales tax added for a US address.
Can I get a refund?

The listing credits Ayesha Sarwar, with Dr. Roberta Graham as co-author. Neither has a verifiable profile, and the doctorate given is not a real academic field.
The bottom line
Mindfulness practice has decent evidence behind it for stress, and doing it in the morning is as good a time as any, so nothing here is harmful. The issues are familiar: the science behind mornings is promised and never cited, the seller already sells Master Your Morning Routines covering the same subject at the same price, and the credited doctor holds a PhD in Holistic Wellness with thirty-one years of experience, which is not an awarded degree.
