Built for the seconds between everything else
Hi—I’m Eli Susman, Ph.D.
I’m a UC Berkeley–trained psychologist who has spent the last 15 years focused on one practical question: what if well-being didn’t ask you to step away from life—but could happen right in the middle of it? Micropractice is my answer—where rigorous research meets real life. It blends time-honored contemplative wisdom with modern psychology and neuroscience to offer tools that actually fit into your day, even when you only have a few seconds to spare.
My work has been featured in 100+ outlets across 30 languages, including The New York Times, CNN, BBC, Forbes, Mindful, and more.
Make Well-Being A Way of Being
Life isn’t slowing down—and for most of us, waiting for more time quietly keeps well-being out of reach.
Micropractice begins with a simple shift: what if well-being practices didn’t require stepping away from life, but could live inside it? Drawing on behavioral science and contemplative traditions, this book distills well-being into brief, practical moments that slip into the cracks of real days.
Each practice takes less than 30 seconds. Not because shorter is trendier—but because shorter is more likely to stick. By tackling the three biggest barriers to lasting change—time, continuity, and habit formation—Micropractice shows how tiny actions can be remembered, repeated, and gently woven into daily routines, without pressure or guilt.
This isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing what actually fits.
With Micropractice, well-being isn’t something you schedule.
It’s something you live—one moment at a time.
