"Declared clinically dead at 20, the motivational speaker who built a morning routine followed by millions."
Hal Elrod is an American author, keynote speaker, and personal development coach best known for "The Miracle Morning," a self-published book that became an international bestseller and spawned a series covering everything from parenting to sales. Elrod survived a near-fatal car accident at 20 that left him clinically dead for six minutes and told he might never walk again, an experience that reshaped his outlook on personal growth and resilience. Years later, after facing a severe financial setback, he developed the "Life S.A.V.E.R.S." morning routine—Silence, Affirmations, Visualization, Exercise, Reading, and Scribing—that became the foundation of "The Miracle Morning," now practiced by a large global community of readers.
