My cheat sheets on habits, mindset, and performance have been viewed millions of times on LinkedIn.
When you subscribe to Better at Life, you’ll get access to my weekly email, plus instant access to my library of downloadable cheat sheets and tools.
The frameworks people save, share, and actually use.
I’m Chris — recovering workaholic, lifelong habit experimenter, and a guy who’s read way too many behavioral science books so you don’t have to.
I’ve spent over two decades researching what helps people live and work better — and trying (sometimes failing) to apply it in my own life. I’ve worked as a leadership exec, earned a Ph.D. in Education & Leadership, and been featured in places like Forbes and SHRM. But none of that means much if I can’t help real people make small changes that actually stick.
That’s why I started Better at Life: one short, non-preachy email each week with an idea that you can use right now — not after a weekend retreat and 47 journal prompts.
If you like insights with a side of real life, you’ll probably like it here.
“Better at Life is short, actionable, and actually helpful. What more do you want?”
“Clear. Useful. Zero fluff. It’s one of the few newsletters that consistently inspires me to take action.”
“Every Better at Life issue leaves you with a clear, simple action that moves the needle. It’s one of the best newsletters for compounding your growth.”
“Chris manages to make personal growth feel simple and grounded. I always walk away with one idea I can use that day.”
