Two percent
Two Percent is a twice-weekly video podcast where bestselling author and journalist Michael Easter expands on the most compelling topics from his hit newsletter. From mental toughness to movement, ancient wisdom to cutting-edge science, this show helps you live a bolder, better, and more meaningful life—one uncomfortable idea at a time, including topics like:
how ultra-endurance athletes push beyond perceived limits
the hidden benefits of boredom and how to reclaim focus
and how “paleo” thinking (but not the diet) can fix modern problems
Each episode blends Michael’s signature storytelling, skepticism of pop-medicine hyper, and a reliance on science; balancing it all with in-depth interviews featuring the brilliant minds he’s connected with in his bestselling books, including Harvard evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman, addiction expert Dr. Anna Lembke, behavioral scientist BJ Fogg, and former special forces operator Don Shipley.
