The Miracle Morning The NotSoObvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life Before 8AM Audible Audio Edition Hal Elrod Rob Actis Books Reviews

• The first segment of this book is a retelling of his "great life to near death to great life to financial ruin to great life" story (which was published before his "great life to rare cancer to great life" chapter.) I'll give him this he is superbly adaptive to his circumstances, and God bless him for that. But the core notion that life SHOULD be lived, MUST be lived, at 100% in order to have an exceptional, happy, fulfilled life is utter bunk.
  
  I like Tony Robbins' approach--live life with passion. Absolutely. But to think that most humans are living in mediocrity completely invalidates (not to mention judges) how others find happiness. I know people who live to fish, that being out on the water every weekend is what they live for. Some of them even make their living fishing. Are they living their lives to their full potential? Who knows? Are they happy? They say they are, so who are we to say that's a life of mediocrity?
  
  I know a guy who lives like Hal Elrod describes--full on, all the time, super successful, incredibly rich. The guy called me the other day drunk, sobbing, completely unhinged because he is so desperately unhappy, being unable to process his father's dying and the neglect he experienced as a child. Millionaire. Living full blast. Suicidal.
  
  What seems to be missing from Mr Elrod's treatise is a broader view of what a truly successful life includes. I am capable of a ton more than what I'm doing right now. But I've lived in the spotlight, I've made my mark in my area of military psychiatry through public speaking and published articles. But I am happier now than I ever was back then. I work quietly without fanfare, explore back roads, hike when the weather is good, visit family and friends as time allows, read new books on my occasional day off, and attend as much good theater as possible.
  
  For me, getting up early is not so I can do all the things that will maximize my potential. It's to leisurely make a cup of coffee, sit and enjoy it while I watch the sky lighten, make the bed (maybe), and a couple of times a week, head over to my community YMCA and enjoy the fellowship of an accepting, nonjudgemental community while I do whatever my body thinks would feel good. That is joy.
  
  Could I do more? Yep. But I have no need to. I'm intellectually stimulated every day at my job, spiritually enriched within my religious community, in the peak of health at 60 years old, despite these unpleasant 20# I have gained these past 5 years, and think I have a pretty fabulous life, especially in comparison to 80% of the rest of the planet.
  
  Berating myself for not doing as much as I am physically, intellectually, and emotionally capable (which Mr Elrod's unwavering message would lead some to do, I think) is the opposite of living a grateful, fulfilling life. So I can't endorse this particular message, although if it's helping others find a path to enrichment, that's great. But this path is definitely not the only, or even the best, path for many of us.
  
  BTW, I have no trouble whatsoever stating my life's purpose to ease the suffering of whoever is near me at any given moment. Not remove their suffering. Not ease the suffering of every living soul on the planet. Just make each individual feel a little less pain, a little more hope, a little more confident, a little less scared, a little more love. Simple. And achievable. Don't need a book to figure that out.
• I'm on month five of my miracle morning journey. Thank you Hal Elrod! He takes "obvious" ideas and relates them in a way that inspires the reader to make a change. Want to lose weight? Learn more? Connect to your higher power? Improve your motivation? Yup. We all do, but how?
  
  Get up earlier! What? Yes. Just get up earlier.
  
  By setting a personal context for us and relating it universally, Elrod pushes the right buttons to get you to drag your butt out of bed 30 to 60 minutes earlier every day and begin your new life. I strongly suggest it.
  
  Update A year later I am still doing the miracle morning. It has changed in pattern and duration through the year, but its significance in my life has stayed positive and meaningful.
• Excellent Book!!! I almost didn't get the book because I read the 1 star reviews and they said it was a simplistic redo of the same messages many others had done. Well, I am so happy I went ahead and bought it in spite of the negative reviews. As you can see I'm a 5 star for the book. I heard Hal Elrod on a webinar and was excited to read the book based upon his presentation, there were a lot of 5 star reviews and I decided to get it. After reading the book, I do not understand the negativity of the 1 star reviewers. Condensing important behaviors into actionable action steps is a good thing in my evaluation. Keeping it simple even better. I found it to be a very smooth transition into the new routine.
  
  Why the high rating from me? I am now exercising 6 days per week and enjoying it. To exercise has been on my goals list for five years and I just couldn't get back to it until I read Miracle Morning. I am also reading every morning and I learned a new technique for me that I include too.
  Some of the other things I was already doing, but the read provided reinforcement and encouragement to keep doing them.
  
  If you are into self improvement, life-long learning and actionable implementation steps, then get this book.
• I have just finished my first week of doing TMM for five days in a row. I can't believe that I not only did it, but I'm expanding my goals to do it on weekends too now!! 🌅🌅🌅
  
  I adore this book and the ideas it has gotten me to incorporate in my life. A few weeks ago I was exhausted in tears thinking I didn't have "me time". What time alone I had at the end of the day I just wasted watching tv.
  
  Now, I'm centered and rich with me time thanks to TMM. My mornings are completely changed now for my kids too; it's much calmer!! And nothing they do has changed; it's just me that has changed. I thought they caused the chaos, but maybe it was more fixable than I thought??!!
  
  I would have NEVER thought I was a morning person, but I guess maybe I am!!??? Who knew!!??
• This book changed my life in one sitting. Hal Elrod's personal life story was so inspiring, all I could think about was how blessed I was without realizing it, and what an amazing person this author was for what he had to endure in his life. I had NO reason to complain any longer!
  
  Not only did his story inspire me to become a better person all around, his Miracle Morning helped me create a solid plan for my every day to form habits that successful people have, which put me in the mindset for success every day.
  
  There were so many things I loved about this book, but one of my favorite quotes was
  
  "Always remember that where you are is a result of who you WERE, but where you go depends entirely on who you choose to be, from this moment on."
  
  This quote alone inspired me to let go of my past and not let it define me any longer. I now CHOOSE who I want to be, moving forward in my life. I recommend this book to anyone who seeks guidance and discipline to get their life back on track and create a solid plan for their future. You can't help but be motivated by this author's story!
