As a New York Times bestselling author, I’ve made a career of traveling the world to uncover practical ideas that help people live healthier, happier, and more remarkable lives. My research has taken me everywhere – from war zones to the Arctic to the Bolivian jungle. I’ve interviewed thousands of experts, from Nobel laureates to world-class athletes, and pored over countless studies to find the best science-backed tactics you can use to optimize your life.
My goal has always been to take these insights from the edge and make them accessible and actionable for readers. I publish my findings in my books, including the New York Times bestseller Scarcity Brain, and The Comfort Crisis. I also share my latest ideas in my popular newsletter, 2% with Michael Easter.
My work has been embraced by leading institutions ranging from professional sports teams to the military. The tactics I uncover have changed how organizations approach critical issues like physical and mental health, performance, and success. Most importantly, my ideas have helped millions of readers live healthier, happier, and more remarkable lives.
