There's been a lot of talk about morning routines in the last few years. But the idea is hardly new; famous men from Thomas Aquinas to Benjamin Franklin structured their mornings to accomplish great deeds and live flourishing lives.A modern advocate of this age-old practice is Hal Elrod, author of <a href="https://amzn.to/4oaGn6H" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Miracle Morning</a>, first published nearly twenty years ago. Long before morning routines became a trend, Hal was experimenting with his own — researching and refining what actually works. Through his experiences and those of the millions who’ve tried his approach, he’s cut through the aspirational noise to offer a doable, effective framework for starting your day right. Today on the show, Hal shares the six practices of the Miracle Morning routine, why he chose them, and how they set up your day for success. We also discuss how long the routine takes and how a shortened version can be done in just six minutes, as well as how to make it work if you're not a morning person. Along the way, I share what my own morning routine looks like.Resources Related to the Podcast<ul><li><a href="https://modelthinkers.com/mental-model/stockdale-paradox" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Stockdale Paradox</a></li><li><a href="https://modelthinkers.com/mental-model/stockdale-paradox" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AoM Article: Bookend Your Day — The Power of Morning and Evening Routines</a></li><li><a href="https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-fitness/health/how-to-hardwire-your-happiness/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AoM Article: How to Hardwire Your Happiness</a></li></ul>Connect With Hal Elrod<ul><li><a href="https://halelrod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hal's website</a></li><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/hal_elrod/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hal on IG</a></li><li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/yopalhal/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hal on FB</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/halelrod?lang=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hal on X</a></li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/hal-elrod-aa054324a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hal on LinkedIn</a></li></ul>See Privacy Policy at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy</a> and California Privacy Notice at <a href="https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info</a>.
