Meet a man who makes miracles happen. Today, we revist my conversation with Hal Elrod, author of the international bestseller The Miracle Morning and his newest book, The Miracle Equation. After overcoming multiple near-death experiences and financial hardships, Hal channeled his adversity into helping others overcome their own challenges. His Miracle Morning approach has impacted millions of lives. 

On today’s episode, Hal tells us all about his updated version of The Miracle Morning. He explains SAVERS, the six foundational practices that will transform your morning and change your life. We also talk about tips for hacking your sleep, productivity, and relationships.  

Hal shares the stories of his devastating car accident and rare cancer diagnosis, and the superpowers he gained from coming back to life. We explore how these near-death experiences changed his perspective on life and what he values most. He also tackles some tough questions… Should we try to help everyone? What does it mean to be a “man”? And what does it take to truly serve others? There’s so much to take away from Hal’s refreshing and optimistic perspective. 

You’ll Learn: 

• What the SAVERS morning routine is and how to customize it from 6 to 60 minutes for any schedule 

• How Hal Elrod survived cancer with a 20-30% survival rate by combining chemotherapy with holistic practices 

• Why affirmations fail when done wrong and the 3-part formula that actually programs your subconscious mind 

• How emotional optimization meditation works, choosing your optimal mental state before meditating instead of just clearing your mind 

• Why the Miracle Morning doesn't require waking up early and how shift workers can do it at any time 

• What the SLUMBERS evening routine includes for better sleep: blue light blocking, natural supplements, and bedtime affirmations
