I’m a New York Times bestselling author who travels the world to uncover science-backed ideas that help people live healthier, happier, and more remarkable lives. My research has taken me from war zones to the Arctic, where I’ve interviewed experts ranging from Nobel laureates to elite athletes.

I share these insights in my books—Scarcity Brain and The Comfort Crisis—and in my newsletter, Two Percent with Michael Easter. My work has been used by pro sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, and the military to improve health, performance, and success. Most importantly, it’s helped millions of readers optimize their lives.
