About Hal:
Hal Elrod is on a mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one morning and one person at a time. After surviving multiple near-death experiences—including a 70 mph head-on car crash with a drunk driver that left him clinically dead for 6 minutes and a rare form of cancer that doctors gave him a 20-30% chance of surviving—he is doing exactly that.
Although he has lived a life that would break most people, he’s somehow managed to turn all his adversities into perspectives and practices that have helped millions of people transform their lives.
As an international keynote speaker and author of 12 books that have sold a combined 3.5 million copies, he is best known for The Miracle Morning—which has sold over 2 million copies, been translated into 37 languages, and has garnered over 50,000 five-star reviews online.
His latest project is his new book, The Miracle Morning Updated and Expanded Edition, in which he has rewritten nearly every page and added over 70 pages of new content, including two new chapters: “The Miracle Evening: Your Strategy for Blissful Bedtime and Better Sleep” and “The Miracle Life: Your Path to Inner Freedom.”
Hal will entertain, inspire, and empower your audience with his unparalleled energy and practical strategies to overcome any challenges they’re facing, and change any aspect of their lives, simply by changing the way they start their day.
