Author Bio
Raised as a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Chad Michael Hardy found himself at a crossroad with his faith when he made international headlines for being excommunicated and stripped of his degree from Brigham Young University. But this was not the setback you might think, rather fueled his longstanding passion for personal development. Since his discovery of the Law of Zero, Chad has channeled the multitude of personal challenges and triumphs of his life into helping others find their authentic joy and their True Self. His narrative is a testament to the power of authenticity in a world that often demands conformity. His path is one marked by profound introspection, spiritual awakening, and a relentless quest for Truth. This pursuit led him to authorship, where he invites you to contemplate your own journey, encouraging you to break free from the status quo and embrace your vulnerabilities as gateways to growth and enlightenment. Chad has a proven track record of building people up and bringing people together by producing community and corporate events. An award-winning entrepreneur, he founded a flourishing team building company, AdVenture Games Inc. With nothing more than a credit card and a prayer, Chad transformed his vision from a humble Las Vegas startup into a nationally recognized enterprise, partnering with Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. Chad divides his time between two of the happiest places on earth—San Diego, California, and Orlando, Florida. You will often find him soaking up the sunsets and giving impromptu cocktail napkin sermons about Zero and the magic that he calls life.
Description
A Zero Hero’s Guide to Self-Acceptance and Personal Empowerment In this inspirational cross between self-help and memoir, Chad Michael Hardy chronicles his journey from a strict Mormon upbringing to self-acceptance and true authenticity.

Among the many powerful lessons he presents are > self-awareness is crucial for breaking free from victimhood and finding new perspectives on life, > releasing negative beliefs, stories, and judgments that limit your true self is essential for personal growth, and > taking ownership of your trauma and forgiving those who have caused harm cultivates self-love, empathy, renewal, and freedom from pain.

Book excerpt
INTRODUCTION Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. —Matthew 5:8, New American Standard Bible The Sanskrit word anahata means unstruck, unhurt, and unbeaten. Further, anahata “symbolizes overall balance between all modes of consciousness and the ultimate potential for individual and global transformation.” This concept ties to the understanding that common ground can be found among most religions. The term “universalism” embraces the idea that all faiths seemingly point to the same truth despite their differences. My traditional Mormon upbringing disputed this because Mormons find universalism heretical. This, I dispute. I dispute this because I have learned that there is a place and state where this concept of anahata can be fully experienced. It can be experienced by anyone. It is a place where one can find perfect balance and peace despite all hurt, pain, grievance, suffering, fears, and faults. This is where you can find yourself not just unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten but whole, complete, and valued—just as you are. And beyond that, it is a place of sacred power and infinite possibilities—the place and the Source of all creation. This is Zero. Every person can reach this pure, balanced, divine creative place. Every person has the right of entry to its power. It is accessed through each person’s unique state of being and is known in our world by many names. It can be discovered through various rituals, is embraced in numerous cultures, and is claimed in some form by virtually every religion. Zero is a neutral state and balanced power of Source governed by the universal law of Zero, and it holds all who seek it accountable. Zero is completely available and utterly universal; no one is restricted from accessing Zero. But I will issue a word of caution. You must Zero responsibly. Once you understand how to access its power, you will be accountable for every- thing in your life—the good, the bad, all of it. Zero does not discriminate. Zero simply is. And without the fear of sounding cheesy, the best way for me to describe Zero in one word is magic. Yes, magic. Not the Disney kind, but the real, tangible, life-changing variety. When you find Zero and align with it, your energy is perfectly balanced, and creation freely flows toward its desired destination. This is when the magic happens. You might ask, “How does this relate to me? How does this relate to my life?” That, my friend, is what this book is all about. It is about you and your life as seen through the lens of my life experiences. I found Zero through a Cracker Jack box of pain, joy, rejection, humor, trauma, and forgiveness. This book describes how I found and reclaimed my sacred power through Zero. More than this, it is about how you can too.
