Viral "Men on a Mission" Calendar Creator Launches Debut Book, Law of Zero

On Sale Now - After Shocking the Mormon World, Chad Michael Hardy Redefines Success
and Explores Personal Growth in his New Self-Help Memoir

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chad Michael Hardy, the visionary creator of the viral "Men on a Mission" and "Hot Mormon Muffins" calendars, officially launches his debut book, Law of Zero. Published by Greenleaf Book Group Press, the book is now available for purchase at major retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Target and Bookshop.org.

Hardy first gained notoriety for his bold and controversial "Men on a Mission" calendar, featuring shirtless returned Mormon missionaries, followed by the equally provocative "Hot Mormon Muffins" calendar. The calendars drew both applause and controversy that sparked a global media frenzy and led to significant consequences. The fallout was swift and severe: Hardy was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Brigham Young University revoked his degree. During this time, Hardy made the decision to come out publicly as a gay man.

"Being cast out by my faith community and having my academic achievements invalidated could have broken me," Hardy explains. "Instead, I found power in authenticity by embracing my true self. Law of Zero is a reflection of my journey; how I went from rejection to resilience, finding balance and purpose along the way."

In Law of Zero, Hardy shares the self-help philosophy he discovered in his darkest moments, encouraging readers to harness the power of "Zero" to find balance, clarity, and fulfillment. The book intertwines his extraordinary life story with actionable principles, revealing how to get unstuck, overcome challenges, and live authentically.

• Take Ownership – Empower yourself to reclaim your narrative and embrace accountability.
• Release to Receive – Break free from negative beliefs and trauma to foster personal growth.
• Engage Power – Lead with purpose, confidence, self-love, and empathy.
