Creator of the Viral "Men on a Mission" Calendar Authors Groundbreaking Debut Book, Law of Zero

Excommunicated from LDS Church, Chad Hardy Turns Controversy into a Powerful New Self-Help Memoir - Available for Pre-Order Now

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Chad Michael Hardy, the visionary behind the "Men on a Mission" and "Hot Mormon Muffins" calendars that broke the internet and ignited global headlines, is once again sparking conversation—this time with his transformative new book, Law of Zero.

Hardy's provocative calendar projects, showcasing shirtless returned Mormon missionaries and Mormon mothers as kitschy pin-up centerfolds, ignited an international media firestorm. This controversy led to his dramatic excommunication from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the revocation of his degree from Brigham Young University. But rather than allow the backlash to define him, Hardy transformed his story of rejection into a remarkable journey—evolving from outcast to entrepreneur to self-help guru through profound self-discovery and personal transformation.

"As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, my story isn't just about controversy," says Hardy. "It's about resilience, authenticity, and the power of embracing who you truly are—even when it feels like the whole world is against you. Law of Zero is a culmination of my journey and a powerful guide to how embracing one's true self, even in the face of adversity, can be the gateway to profound growth and fulfillment."

A bold fusion of self-help and memoir, Law of Zero chronicles Hardy's transformative journey from the constraints of his strict Mormon upbringing to reclaiming his personal power. Through adversity, he discovered the law of Zero—a universal principle akin to the law of attraction—that empowers individuals to get unstuck, find balance, and unlock their infinite potential. Now, Hardy shares how you can harness Zero through five key entry points: Seek Awareness, Secure Alignment, Take Ownership, Release to Receive, and Engage Power.

In addition to authorship, Hardy is an award-winning entrepreneur who founded the team-building company AdVenture Games Inc. Utilizing the principles of Zero, he grew the business from a Las Vegas startup into a nationally recognized enterprise, partnering with Fortune 500 companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
