Join Two Percent

Get healthy. Think clear. Live better.

Join 100,000+ readers using Two Percent for practical ways to master their health, mindset, and performance. Three emails a week. No fluff. Just proven tools that work.

Through writing my bestselling books The Comfort Crisis and Scarcity Brain, I’ve discovered that our modern world makes us sick and stuck. It rewards comfort over growth, ease over effort. That leads to stagnation, burnout, disease—and a sense that something's missing.

Two Percent helps you fight back.

We deliver simple, actionable strategies to improve your physical health, mental resilience, performance, and purpose. You get tools that are backed by science, rooted in story, and optimized to work in the real world.

What You’ll Get

  • Three high-impact emails a week
    Each post covers the most useful ideas in wellness—tools to improve your health, mindset, and performance.

  • Proven strategies for busy people.
    Wellness shouldn’t suck up all of your time. Our tactics are backed by research, tested by top experts, and designed for real life.

  • Multiple viewpoints.
    Perspectives from different sources and disciplines so you can understand topics better and select an approach that works for you.

  • Info you won’t find elsewhere.
    I travel extensively to bring you proven insights—blending new research with on-the-ground reporting (I’ve traveled 200k+ miles to get info for Two Percent).

  • Tactics for everyone.
    No one-size-fits-all advice. Information that works whether you’re 18 or 88 and the epitome of health or just getting started.

  • Results that ripple.
    Our readers get stronger, think clearer, work better, and live well. The benefits show up in our health, work, and relationships.

Two Percent Community: The Best People Online

Since launching in 2023, Two Percent has grown into one of the most inspiring communities online. I truly love this place.

Two Percent is a community—a community full of people who are smart, funny, kind, well-read, and dead set on betterment. We make each other think and live and experience life better. Our readers have:

  • Lost thousands of pounds.

  • Walked, rucked, and run millions of miles.

  • Dramatically improved fitness, health, and mental resilience.

  • Rewired their mindset and taken on epic challenges.

  • Made smarter life and business decisions.

  • Overcome anxiety, depression, and addiction.

That’s the tense of living we’re after: Fully alive, fully engaged, fully human, fully well.

Why The Two Percent Name?

Only 2% of people take the stairs when there’s an escalator available. We call this the Two Percent Mindset—choosing the harder path for a better future—and apply it to all areas of our lives.

It’s the foundation of lasting health and growth—and it changes everything.

This newsletter is for the few willing to choose better. Read more about the Two Percent Mindset here.
