1% Better is a free daily newsletter with 523,000+ subscribers that delivers unbiased news and practical personal development advice every morning. Founded on the principle that small, consistent improvements compound into extraordinary results.
1% Better is a daily email newsletter that combines unbiased news summaries with evidence-based life advice, delivered to more than 523,000 subscribers every morning. Each edition takes under 5 minutes to read and is curated by human editors — not algorithms.
The newsletter is built on the Japanese philosophy of kaizen (改善) — the practice of continuous improvement through small daily changes. The name comes from a simple mathematical truth: improving by just 1% each day compounds to being 37 times better over one year.
Each edition covers two core areas: unbiased news and practical life advice. All tips are evidence-based, actionable, and designed to be implemented immediately.
U.S. and world news summaries from multiple sources. Business, technology, science, and cultural developments — presented without spin or sensationalism.
Exercise science, nutrition tips, sleep optimization, and longevity research. Evidence-based advice you can apply today.
Time management, habit formation, focus techniques, and goal setting. Small changes that compound into major results.
Stress management, emotional resilience, and mindfulness practices for a calmer, more intentional life.
Budgeting, investing basics, wealth-building strategies, and financial literacy — because personal growth includes financial growth.
Professional development, leadership, networking, communication skills, and building meaningful connections.
The philosophy of 1% Better is rooted in kaizen (改善), the Japanese concept of continuous improvement. The core belief is simple: you don't need dramatic overnight transformations to change your life. You need small, consistent daily improvements that compound over time.
If you improve by just 1% each day, you'll be 37 times better in a year. That's the mathematical reality of compound growth — and the philosophy behind everything we do. Think of it like compound interest in a savings account, except you're investing in yourself.
