About this listen
‘This is my manifesto for morning.
There is an energy in the earlier hours, an awareness I enjoy. In today’s world we tend to wake as late as we can, timed to when we have to work. But we don’t need to chase the day.’
In Morning, Allan Jenkins shows how getting up earlier even once a week or month can free us to be more imaginative, to maybe read, to walk, to write. He talks to other early risers such as Jamie Oliver and Samuel West, to poets and painters. We hear from a neuroscientist about sleep, a philosopher about dawn, a fisherman about light. Allan wakes early, he listens, he looks. He introduces us to a secret world.
This is a celebration of dawn and morning: the best time of day.

Praise for Allan Jenkins: "Plot 29 is a superbly written testament to the power of earth to nourish and heal. The writing is taut and honed to a sinewy strength, but rich with evocation and delight...I loved it." (Monty Don)

Good content but expressionless delivery
The content describes images that inspire one to get up early.
Unfortunately the deadpan expression-less delivery of it in the reading makes it a real challenge to follow.
The reading could be slowed down to allow the listener to savour every phrase and visualise it.
I wish I had purchased the physical book instead of the audio book.

Not about "How to" but "what happens/happened"
Very disappointing book, there is almost no content on "how to". It is a story about what happens and what happened in the morning.
Knowing more about other people's morning routines and what they see, feel, hear, smell and taste: we should not need a book for this.
so interesting and different/original book but not about the how to.

Fantastic inspiration
This book is for the people on the brink of getting up early, who simply need a little nudge to actually get out of bed and venture into the morning.
At some points the character voices can be confusing, however the overall story is understandable.
Highly recommend!!

Disappointing read
What would have made Morning: How to make time better?
Poor voice performance and the book lacks a compelling narrative. It's basically diary entries and basic question and answers. Completely uninspiring.
