About the Author

Hal Elrod is a family man, first and foremost. He is a loyal husband to his wife of 14 years and a dedicated father to their two children. He has also lived a life that would break most people but has somehow managed to turn all of his adversities into perspectives and practices that have helped millions of people transform their lives.

After surviving multiple near-death experiences—including a head-on car crash with a drunk driver at age nineteen that left him clinically dead for six minutes, and a rare form of cancer which doctors gave him a 20 to 30 percent chance of surviving—he is on a mission to help individuals transform their lives and to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one morning and one person at a time. As the author of 12 books, which have sold over 3 million copies, been translated into 37 languages, and have over 30,000 five-star reviews—he’s doing exactly that.

Dwayne J. Clark is the visionary founder, chairman, and CEO of Aegis Living, where he has overseen the care of more than 80,000 seniors. With nearly four decades of senior living experience, he is nationally recognized for redefining the industry—pioneering innovative care models, resident-centered communities, and a culture that puts employees first. His leadership has been featured in U.S. News & World Report, Fortune, and other outlets, and he was named Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year.

Beyond his professional achievements, Clark is a bestselling author, filmmaker, and philanthropist. He and his wife, Terese, have traveled to more than 80 countries studying diverse healing practices, experiences that inspired his longevity book 30 Summers More. Passionate about giving back, he supports over 70 local and global charities and has founded five nonprofit organizations. Clark’s lifelong mission is to change the way society views aging and to help people live with purpose, vitality, and joy at every stage of life.
