The Miracle Morning (Updated and Expanded Edition): The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life (Before 8AM) (Miracle Morning Book Series)

I came across this book when I was least expecting it a little over a year ago. It was absolutely life-changing, and the new version has more content and is even better than the first version! Before reading this book, my mornings were rushed and I seldom had time for personal growth and self-care. My priorities were out of balance, it had been years since I had set non-work-related goals, and one of my important relationships was floundering. It's important to understand this is more than just a book: The author spells out six essential activities in the Miracle Morning routine and explains why they work and how to do them. I had never done some of the steps before, but it was easy to start once I understood them. Doing the Miracle Morning routine helped me find the time I needed to refocus, set, and follow through with goals in ten important areas of my life; My relationship improved dramatically; I started exercising, feeling healthier, and am in the best physical shape of my life; I weathered a difficult work transition with relative ease; and I was able to realign my day-to-day activities with my core values. The Miracle Morning routine is adaptable to your lifestyle, available time, and preferences. It’s effective whether you get up super early, or you just incorporate the routine whenever you wake up. (I’m mentioning this because some people have more flexibility in their schedule than others.) As a result of reading this book, I feel less stressed, calmer, more in control of my mornings, and my life. I have purchased several copies to give to people I know, because it is truly one of the most life-changing books that you can read.

Definitely a book I think everyone should read. Whether you are struggling or doing great in life, this can help you be better.

Hal Elrod’s The Miracle Morning is a transformative read that combines motivation and actionable strategies to help readers create a morning routine that drives personal growth and success. The book’s core framework, S.A.V.E.R.S, is simple yet powerful: Silence (e.g., meditation or prayer to start the day grounded) Affirmations (positive self-talk to reinforce goals and values) Visualization (mentally rehearsing your goals to fuel focus) Exercise (even just 10 minutes to energize the body and mind) Reading (personal development or learning content) Scribing (journaling thoughts, gratitude, or reflections). Elrod further enhances the process by introducing A.B.C, which emphasizes: Adjusting the routine to fit your time and lifestyle. Building consistency by starting small and expanding gradually. Creating accountability through tracking progress or involving others. Recognizing that restful sleep is the foundation of a great morning, Elrod also shares the S.L.U.M.B.E.R.S. framework, which provides tips for improving your nighttime routine: Set a bedtime routine to signal your brain it’s time to wind down. Limit screen time before bed to reduce blue light exposure. Understand your sleep cycles and aim for 90-minute increments. Minimize caffeine and heavy meals late in the day. Build a relaxing environment (dim lights, comfortable bedding, etc.). Establish a wake-up intention by focusing on the purpose of the next day. Reflect on gratitude or journal before sleep to calm the mind. Sleep with consistency by waking and sleeping at the same time daily. These additional tools—S.L.U.M.B.E.R.S. and A.B.C.—make The Miracle Morning a holistic approach to transforming not just your mornings but your overall well-being. What makes the book so impactful is its universal appeal. Elrod’s methods are applicable to people of any age, background, or socioeconomic situation. His personal story of overcoming a near-fatal accident and financial ruin adds a layer of inspiration and credibility. He reminds readers that no matter where they are starting, it’s possible to create a life of purpose and success through intentional mornings. The book includes practical examples of how the frameworks have worked for people from diverse walks of life and offers free tools and templates—like journaling guides and goal-setting worksheets—to make implementation straightforward. In essence, The Miracle Morning is part "how-to" guide, part motivational manifesto. It’s a must-read for anyone seeking to make a positive shift in their life. By embracing this routine, you set the tone for productivity, mindfulness, and purpose every single day—starting the night before!

Here’s a book that can help you to get the most out of life and help others you know and love to do the same! I was inspired when I first stumbled upon this book on Amazon as I was learning how to navigate it to prepare the submission of my own book, “Seamless Navigation” and I know I am a better man having read it and I would have written a better book if I had read it before writing mine!

To the point. Very actionable. Was a quick read too. Admire the author’s life story - made me like the book a bit more.

This book literally changed my life. I already had my ritual to wake up early and dedicate some time to myself, but it wasn't very well structured and I didn't really know how to make it more stable. This book has helped me very much to see benefits of waking up early and doing my morning "SAVERS". It did save me, and if anyone is looking for a way to improve their lives, this is the book to begin with!

I started reading this book for few weeks now and have almost reached half of it. I simply love it, im enjoying each word and chapter. It is straight to the point and sentences are short which makes you read it faster while enjoying the learnings and stories the author shares. I highly recommend it to anyone who wakes up in the morning not knowing why and feeling life is passing by. Enjoy the learnings, apply the principles of the Miracle Morning and start feeling changes in your mood and mindset. Thank you Hal!

Me gusta la propuesta, las razones en que se fundamenta y la practicidad que propone.

The book contains a simple ideology to change a persons way of thinking, behaving and creating lasting habits to develop one self. Breaking down proven tasks using a set of manageable processed to change the way we work to achieving our goals. The approach on performing the task first thing upon waking up allows you to prioritize your development before the weight of the daily grind takes it's toll. Excellent and well written makes it enjoyable and very easy to read. Definitely worth buying whether you are starting or want to get started in your own personal development, or you just need a new approach to your current processes.
