Thanks for reading. You helped save a life.

Whenever you buy one of my books, join the Habits Academy, or otherwise contribute to my work, 5 percent of the profits are donated to the Against Malaria Foundation (AMF). In fact, thanks to our advertising partners, even a simple act like reading another article helps us contribute more.
With each donation, AMF distributes nets to protect children, pregnant mothers, and families from mosquitos carrying malaria. It is one of the most cost-effective ways to extend life and fulfills my bigger mission to spread healthy habits and help others realize their full potential.
