Choosing to Care When Life Gives You Every Reason Not To, with Hal Elrod

Depth Over Noise

Show Notes

Hal Elrod, creator of The Miracle Morning, on surviving two near-death experiences, building a global movement, and what three million readers have taught him about why people stop caring.

Hal Elrod has been clinically dead, told he might never walk again, and given a 20 to 30 percent chance to survive a rare leukemia. He came back from all of it. In this episode of Depth Over Noise, Hal joins Dr. Tony Nader to talk about how he did not give up caring after the accident, how he maintains optimism without slipping into toxic positivity, what three million readers have taught him about why people stop caring, why he built a homestead, the moments in his own life when he said who cares, and the daily practice that makes caring a habit rather than a feeling. It is one of the most personal conversations Hal has given on the question that quietly runs underneath every Miracle Morning: what is worth getting up for.
