Awake to Your Why

Achieve Your Goals and Change Your Life with the 5 AM Advantage

Bryce Chapman

Are you living your dream?

The clock is ticking. With each passing minute, a lifelong goal remains buried, an aspiration evaporates. Years pass. And you are not living the dream. You’re living an accidental life.

This book is the secret to activating your goals and changing your life. Using the science of neuroplasticity, inspiring personal stories, and a host of proven tools and resources, author and life coach Bryce Chapman lays out the transformational power of waking each morning at 5 am and deciding to take charge of your life.

A husband, father of four, and owner of several businesses at age thirty-nine, Bryce realized that his world was imploding from stress and that he had ignored his dreams for way too long. He decided to rebuild his life, but the process was not straightforward. It was a challenge that would see him experiment for more than a decade and a half until the formula was perfected. Now he shares with you his practical, actionable process to design your world, including your health and fitness, business, wealth, and dreams, to live a life of purpose.

Bryce Chapman’s childhood living on large sheep and cattle stations in Australia was shattered by family tragedy, sending him on a thirty-year trajectory of survival he calls “an accidental life.” Burned out from living down to society’s standards of success and overwhelmed by the fear of failing to live a better life as he neared forty, he decided on a radical reset. By setting his alarm for 5 am, he challenged himself to seize each morning and create a new abundant life before the busy demands of the world encroached. Finally, out of the dust of a charging rogue bull came his battle with rehabilitation, persistence, and discipline. He was victorious, and the 5 am Advantage was born.

Bryce’s lengthy experience with waking at 5 am, along with his unique bush-and-beach lifestyle, gives him a fresh voice that’s both direct and supportive, illuminating a path for readers to reach their full potential. Bryce lives harmoniously between a family farm in Lower Hunter Valley and a beachside residence at Narrabeen with his wife, Fiona, and their children.
