Welcome and Thank You!

Thank you for checking out The Growth Equation, a newsletter about performance and excellence.

This newsletter is a collaboration between Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness, international bestselling authors of PEAK PERFORMANCE, DO HARD THINGS, and THE PRACTICE OF GROUNDEDNESS. It's always us—real humans sharing real evidence and real experiences—and never AI-generated slop.

Our goal is simple: to help you live a good, meaningful, and high-performing life in a chaotic world. We cut through the noise, hacks, and grift to bring you ideas and habits that actually work. Every Thursday, you'll learn about an interesting concept that can improve your work and life, and how you can apply it. You'll also get book recommendations and valuable stories from around the internet.
