The Miracle Morning
by Hal Elrod
Elrod's SAVERS routine, silence, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, scribing, packaged morning habits into a single sequence and sold millions of copies. The book is simple and the author's survival story is compelling. The routine is more useful than its hype, provided you adapt the timings and skip what does not fit.
Read it if…
your mornings are chaotic and you want a ready-made structure to try.
Skip it if…
you are a night person or a parent of small children; the full routine may not survive contact with your life.
Three things you will actually use
- Start with the six-minute version and expand.
- Prepare the night before; the routine starts at bedtime.
- Keep the parts that help; drop the dogma.
Do this first
Tomorrow, do a six-minute version: one minute of each practice.
Our verdict
A useful template with a lot of marketing around it; take the routine, leave the rest.
