“A simple, proven formula for creating extraordinary results in your life.”—Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author of The School of Greatness
Even after the incredible success of his book The Miracle Morning, Hal Elrod realized that he still had more to share with the world. What he had discovered was a timeless but overlooked formula for success. The world’s top achievers have used it for centuries. He used it to thrive against seemingly insurmountable odds, from overcoming life-threatening health challenges to near financial collapse.
That formula is The Miracle Equation, and it couldn’t be any simpler:
Unwavering Faith + Extraordinary Effort = Miracles
By establishing and maintaining Unwavering Faith that you can achieve anything you desire, and then putting forth Extraordinary Effort until you do, you’ll create results beyond what you believe to be possible. In The Miracle Equation, you’ll learn how to
• Replace fear with faith
• Move from resistance to acceptance
• Let go of negative emotions
• Turn off your stress response
• Overcome your limitations to unlock your limitless potential
• Develop emotional invincibility
• Grow from happiness, which is fleeting, to inner peace, which is lasting
And with the Miracle Equation 30-Day Challenge to guide your way, you’ll create a step-by-step plan to actualize your miracles and become the person you need to be in order to succeed. No goal is out of reach!
Praise for The Miracle Equation
“The Miracle Equation isn’t just a book, it’s the formula that I myself have used to achieve greatness beyond what I ever believed was possible. Hal Elrod has taken the mystery out of miracles and gives you a simple, proven formula for creating extraordinary results in your life. Highly recommended.”—Lewis Howes, New York Times bestselling author of The School of Greatness
"You're only two decisions away from achieving everything you want. And my friend, Hal Elrod, has simplified these two decisions into a simple equation for achieving results. Follow it, and your success is virtually guaranteed. If you want your biggest goals to move from possible, to probable, to inevitable, you better read The Miracle Equation."—Mel Robbins, bestselling author of The 5-Second Rule

Review
"Hal has deconstructed and simplified what enables elite athletes and top performers in all walks of life. No longer do you have to marvel at the world’s best, now you can join with The Miracle Equation."—Laila Ali, 4-time undefeated world champion boxer and author of Food for Life
"If you are going to listen to what anyone has to say about miracles, it should be Hal Elrod." —Dave Asprey, Founder and CEO of Bulletproof
"If you don't believe in miracles, you haven't met Hal. Both in life and work, he's managed the extraordinary. Now he'll show you how to do the same."—Ryder Carroll, creator of the Bullet Journal
“I first heard Hal teach the Miracle Equation nearly 20 years ago, and I’ve since seen him live it over and over again to achieve remarkable levels of success and impact while overcoming every life-threatening obstacle put in from of him. It also happens to be the exact formula that every successful person throughout history has used to do the same, and that you can use to overcome anything that’s holding you back and achieve everything you want.” —John Ruhlin, author of Giftology

Taking the Mystery Out of Miracles
Moving from Mythical to Measurable
Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.
—Saint Augustine
Miracles. They’re kinda mysterious, right? I mean, isn’t that part of the appeal, not knowing exactly how certain seemingly imperceptible events have lined up perfectly to save someone’s life or deliver their wildest dream right to their front door? However, this mysterious nature also creates a problem with the way that we perceive miracles.
I once saw a segment on the Today show titled “Skydiving Miracle: Man Falls Two Miles” about skydiving instructor Michael Holmes, who fell 14,000 feet when his parachute failed to open. As the ground below raced toward him, he tried to release the parachute but couldn’t. He tried to cut it free, but that didn’t work, either. In a last-ditch effort to save his own life, he pulled the reserve parachute, but it didn’t release. In the final seven hundred feet that he spent free-falling through the air, he resigned himself to dying. Amazingly, he didn’t die. Relatively speaking, his injuries were fairly minor.
And have you heard Donnie Register’s story? It was all over the news as “Donnie’s Miracle,” and Oprah.com even featured it as a “Real-Life Miracle.” Donnie was standing behind the cash register in his own antique store when a gunman fired a shot at his head. Donnie threw his hands up in front of his face. The bullet bounced off Donnie’s gold wedding band, which deflected the shot, and he miraculously dodged what should have been sudden death.
Over the years, I’ve heard of miraculous health recoveries, where there seemed to be no other effort made except heavy doses of hope. And even of long-lost sweethearts who mysteriously crossed paths decades after they parted ways. All of these stories are intriguing and awe-inducing at the same time.
In all fairness, stories like these can be called miracles. But for many folks (and you may be one of them), it’s miracles like these that give all miracles a bad name. Miracle nonbelievers assume that extraordinary events happen only to other people. They believe that all miracles are elusive. Mythical. Random. Lucky. And out of reach. Totally unrealistic and unpredictable. They just don’t happen in real life—not to them, at least. I used to feel the same way.
I mean, if we could simply “think up” a seven-figure check to be waiting for us in our mailbox, wouldn’t everyone be a millionaire? Miraculous health recoveries would be the norm, and that difficult client or coworker—you know, the one who’s constantly spiking your blood pressure—would . . . well, he or she might just disappear. If you fall into this camp, you probably think that you have to see it to believe it.
Being skeptical can be a good thing. You’re doing what we should all be doing; thinking critically, evaluating and questioning everything, going in search of the truth. I approach things the same way and don’t expect anything less from you.
However, there is a potentially devastating downside to skepticism that we all need to be aware and cautious of: it can easily turn into cynicism. It can tip us into an unhealthy level of distrust and limit the possibilities that are otherwise available to us. As you’ll learn in this book, there are actually two different types of miracles, and it’s not really fair or beneficial to blend them together.
The miracles that we’ve described above are what you might call “passive” or “random” miracles, those that occur by chance. We marvel at their unbelievable nature, but there is no definitive way to explain them, let alone repeat them (and I’m sure that that skydiving instructor and Donnie Register would prefer not to endure their experiences again). They can be seen as random coincidences. If you would like to create these kinds of miracles, which often include a “pray and wait” approach, I’m sorry, but I don’t have much advice for you. They are not the kinds of miracles we will be discussing in this book.
This book is about the kind of tangible, measurable miracles that require your active participation in producing them. They are more akin to making your biggest, scariest, and most improbable goals come true. These are the types of miracles that you have a significant degree of control over, meaning that you can consistently create them again and again in your life because you will understand how the process works. But to create this kind of miracle, first you must believe that the result you are seeking is possible and that you can produce it. If you fell into the skeptics’ group above, I would urge you to suspend your disbelief for a moment so that you can explore what else might be possible for you. At least while you read this book.
Now, don’t get me wrong; I’m not trying to convince you to believe something unreasonable. What I am trying to do is open your mind to the possibility of something new, a second kind of miracle that you have the power to create at will. In this chapter, we will define what tangible, measurable miracles are, for the purposes of our conversation, and then dive into exactly how these types of miracles unfold so that you, too, can create uncommon results. Then it will be up to you if you want to believe.
Anyone Can Create Tangible, Measurable Miracles
When it comes to miracles, there are some questions that would be helpful for us to consider, such as Are miracles experienced only by special or “chosen” individuals? Do miracles occur only at random? Are miracles created by God or some other mysterious higher intelligence? Or could it be that we were each born with a limitless potential and capabilities far greater than what we believe about ourselves? What if that’s why some people are wildly successful—because they’ve figured out how to tap into the dormant potential that every single one of us was born with? What if you realized that you’re only a decision (or two) away from tapping into that potential?
A realization like this would change the way you approach the size and scope of the goals you’re willing to set and the life you live. It would raise the bar on what it means to be “average,” if average were to become extraordinary. Imagine if you and every person you know began actualizing his or her full potential, if each of us were to discover how to overcome our self-imposed limitations and begin creating everything we want for our lives while making a profound impact in the world. What if we all became Miracle Mavens?
What Is a Miracle Maven?
The word maven comes from the Yiddish word meyvn and the Hebrew word mebhin, meaning “one who understands.”
Though the word miracle has several definitions, the most useful one for us as we move forward, found in the English Oxford Living Dictionary, is “a remarkable event or development that brings very welcome consequences.”
Miracle Mavens encompass these two definitions in one body.
If you were to think about it, I’m sure you could come up with a few people who are living close to their full potential and seem to have a knack for bringing their visions into reality. Whether you know them personally or admire them from afar, these individuals never let anyone (including themselves) talk them out of their grand ideas. They seem to have an unlimited well of creativity and perseverance. Opportunities abound for these folks. You may wonder how or why they’re always so lucky. But what if luck played only a teeny-tiny part in their overall success, if at all?
Throughout history, there have been many people who actively created tangible, measurable miracles. US president John F. Kennedy, who envisioned putting a man on the moon, and the civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., who imagined a free and equal America for all people, are examples of individuals who intentionally and actively created miracles. While others prayed and waited for those results to happen, JFK and MLK went out and made them happen. They succeeded in transforming seemingly impossible ideas into tangible reality. They followed their visions as far as they could and in doing so created extraordinary new realities. By tapping into their abilities, they became Miracle Mavens.
Because becoming a Miracle Maven is just that—a way of being. When you live with Unwavering Faith and put forth Extraordinary Effort, you are a Miracle Maven. Notable Miracle Mavens come from all walks of life, and their accomplishments—and the pathways they forged—come in every imaginable permutation. Many you know, simply because their accomplishments have made such a significant impact on our world. Well-known Miracle Mavens include
• Henry Ford, who gave us transportation by car
• Marie Curie, who developed the theory of radioactivity and was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to be granted that prestigious award twice
• Bill Gates, who put personal computers into millions of homes and offices around the world
• Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean
• Neil Armstrong, who walked on the moon
• LeBron James, who gave the city of Cleveland a miracle when he led the Cavaliers to win the city’s first championship in a major professional sport in more than sixty years
• Michael Phelps, who became an Olympian at age fifteen and went on to win twenty-three gold medals
• Steve Jobs, who put thousands of songs into our pockets and made smartphones the norm
• Elon Musk, who is constantly creating technological miracles that help move humanity forward
From the beginning of time, otherwise ordinary people have catapulted themselves beyond the limits of what was thought to be possible. They, too, have had to overcome the same types of fears and insecurities that chain us all. We are all born with unlimited potential, but these people have figured out how to tap into it. When you discover how to do the same, everything changes.
Though the circumstances that each of us were born into vary from person to person, the unlimited human potential that each of us is born with is universal. In fact, there are countless stories of individuals who were born into challenging conditions yet found a way to turn their lives into something extraordinary. You may be familiar with some of them.
The author J. K. Rowling was broke and nearly destitute when she wrote the first Harry Potter book, which ultimately turned into a series—and several blockbuster movies, theme park rides, toys, clothing, video games, and more—and secured her spot in the exclusive billionaires’ club.
Jay-Z grew up poor in a Brooklyn housing project before moving on to become a world-famous rapper and business tycoon. His empire includes real estate, sports bars, clothing, beverages, and even beauty products, just to name a few.
Oprah Winfrey had a childhood filled with poverty and abuse and became one of the most successful and wealthiest women in the world. Now, with a commitment to paying her success forward and helping future generations make their way out of poverty, she has donated more than $150 million to charitable causes that help underprivileged girls.
The actor Sylvester Stallone was homeless for brief periods as he worked his way up from bit acting parts to his breakout role in Rocky, which he also wrote. The Rocky franchise went on to become one of the most successful of all time.
This list could continue with enough real-life examples to fill this entire book. What I hope you are realizing is that your external circumstances do not confine you, just as your past does not dictate your future. You will first need to envision your ideal future, see it clearly, and then establish the belief that it’s possible. (We’ll spend a lot of time discussing how to do exactly that in the coming pages.) Then you must begin to move toward it. That’s what the folks listed above did. They decided that what they wanted was possible, figured out what they needed to do to make it probable, and then continued giving it everything they had until their success became inevitable. You can absolutely do the same.
Remember, the goal you decide to tackle does not necessarily have to be world changing. It can be as big or small, as easy or complicated, as you like. The key is that it must be meaningful to you. That significance will serve as your driver.

About the author

Hal Elrod is on a mission to Elevate the Consciousness of Humanity, One Person at a Time. As the author of one of the highest rated books on Amazon, "The Miracle Morning" (which has been translated into 37 languages, has over 3,000 five-star reviews and has impacted the lives of over 2,000,000 people in more than 70 countries)... he is doing exactly that.
What's incredible is that Hal literally died at age 20. His car was hit head-on by a drunk driver at 70 miles per hour, his heart stopped beating for 6 minutes, he broke 11 bones and woke up after being in a coma for 6 days to be told by his doctors that he would probably never walk again.
Not only did Hal walk, he ran a 52-mile ultra-marathon and went on to became a hall of fame business achiever, international keynote speaker, author, and grateful husband & father-all before he turned 30.
Then, in November of 2016, Hal nearly died again - his kidneys, lungs, and heart were failing, and he was diagnosed with a rare, and very aggressive form of cancer and given a 30% chance of living.
After enduring the most difficult year of his life, Hal is now cancer-free and furthering his mission as the founder of The Miracle Morning book series, host of the "Achieve Your Goals" podcast, creator of the Best Year Ever [Blueprint] LIVE event, and Executive Producer of The Miracle Morning MOVIE - a documentary that reveals the morning rituals of some of the world's most successful people.
Hal is grateful to be alive and living his mission alongside his wife and their two young children in Austin, TX.

I’ve been a Hal Elrod fan ever since I heard about The Miracle Morning a few years ago and let me tell you, that book absolutely changed my life and my daily routine. I now can’t imagine my days not beginning without my Miracle Morning and starting each day with the best mindset and being truly focused on how exciting the day ahead is and what I can accomplish.
Therefore I wasn’t worried that there would at least be a few gems in Hal’s new book, The Miracle Equation. I didn’t however plan for Hal to change my life yet again and in such a huge way. I am absolutely one of those people that reads personal development books like they’re going out of style and I REALLY read them and internalize the messages to how they relate to me and my life.
One of the first quotes on pg, 22 of TME says, “What prevents anyone from creating the life they truly want is that either they lack the faith that they can or they don’t put forth the necessary effort. That’s it. And many people don’t do either.”
Bam, that was one of the first quotes that really hit me. I have all the faith in the world that if I actually committed to a goal I could accomplish anything I wanted (so, I have the Unwavering Faith already) however it’s the actually doing the work that I realized I don’t really ever truly do. It’s for a day or a few days (maybe!) and then I feel like I failed and I wonder again and again how I’ve learned so much but I’m not really living a Level 10 life yet.
It’s because I’m not actually doing the work that it takes to make my real dreams come true (and trust me, this book lays it out, that it’s not even really HARD work that I need to put it in, it’s just consistent work over time).
Such a simple message that finally resonated with me in a whole new way: if you do the work and have faith in the outcome, there’s no other option than for you to succeed. Tangible Miracles are at my finger tips and it doesn’t take that much to make them happen, it just takes doing what you know is right and not what’s easy.
Get this book, your goals will create the person you’ve always dreamed of! I know I’m finally on a whole new path…Thanks again, Hal!!

Becoming the person you are capable of being is not easy and is full of setbacks and failures, perceived as being world ending at first.
Can you learn to accept reality for what it is and move forward? Could you fight after someone told you that you would never do something ever again?
Develop yourself into a Miracle Maven, you will get there and the timing will be perfect.
I decided to look further into this book because of the suggestion of John Ruhlin, John's massive action created Giftology, the business and the book.
The Miracle Equation, will help build you into the right person, one who is capable of building a future for yourself and your family. Once you've become a Miracle Maven. John Ruhlin's book Giftology will teach you how to foster good relationships, with everyone involved in making your business viable.
No matter your age, your reality can shift into anything you have unwavering faith for and execute massive action to obtain.
But life has a lot of variables, a lot of uncertainty. It's not as easy to create the reproducible results I want for my life the way I once did in a laboratory. Sometimes we are blindsided by events out of our control. We get knocked down. We let our fears, doubts, and insecurities creep in. While we once operated from a place of hope, we now operate from a place of fear. We stop ourselves in our own tracks and fall short in creating the life that we want.
But then Hal wrote this book, The Miracle Equation, and saved the day! While reading through this book, I found myself giving my dreams a chance again. Hal's words gave me permission to allow the possibilities of miracles to be a constant in life, something I can create for myself again, and again, and again! He gave me the opportunity to not only have faith in myself and in my higher power, but an UNWAVERING faith, so that I am able to go after my mission UNTIL it comes to fruition. Secondly, Hal showed me how to put forth extraordinary effort in a simple, set-by-step formula, so that we can truly live out a life filled with miracles.
The Miracle Equation has given me an easily implementable guideline to use to create the miracles I want to see in my life. He has brought certainty in a journey filled with uncertainty. It's the only equation I'll ever need to remember for the rest of my life. Thank you Hal, for another beautiful body of life-changing work. The world thanks you!

Top reviews from other countries

If you are the type of person who has big goals and you have been planning your success for years but just haven’t quite got your finger out and realised your dreams this is the book for you. Hal Elrod, wrote the Miracle Morning. The Miracle Morning also has thriving online community who all commit every day to getting up early doing SAVERS (six habits of self-development) which leads them to live dynamic and driven lives.
Like the Miracle Morning – The Miracle Equation is a simple but extremely effective system. In fact what is best about the book is it takes this concept and shows you how it works, ‘two decisions that move your biggest goal from possible to probable to inevitable’. Hal just makes this literal equation work: ‘unwavering faith’ and ‘extraordinary effort’ equal ‘miracles’.
I have personally been involved with the Miracle morning community for over two years and what is good about Hal and his books is they are made up of a simple system, this coupled with an accountable online fb community, helps to keep you on track and gives you support. There is no big secret, no woo woo, just straightforward techniques that work.
In the Miracle Equation book, Hal uncovers his personal experience of using the ‘equation’ and how it has worked in his life to create great success. Hal has been very close to death twice: first he actually died for a few minutes in a car accident and he has very recently fought aggressive cancer. Hal used these miracle equation techniques to accept his reality and move forward with his life. He has achieved amazing success in every area in his life. He shows you how you can do this too by following these methods.
It may sound clichéd but this is true: I would recommend this book if you would like to let go of the past, live in the present and create the life you have always wanted.

Update: Ha! I just read this when going through whether to buy the original book> A then thought after listening to the shorter Audible version,"Good book - should have been edited and proofread." So randomly found this reviewer and thought - that guy's got it right on - very surprised to see it was me - I don't remember writing it at all. But I am right on it - it sounds like a voice-to-text book. Or is this just the way all American books are written maybe>
