Are you part of the 2%?

Move your dot today

We are busy building careers, caring for families and getting through the day. But what happens when a small part of our time, skill, attention or opportunity travels beyond us?

About the book

What could one small act set in motion?

In Are You Part of the 2%?, Suri Anantharama shares the people and experiences that changed the way he thinks about success, purpose, and what we can give to one another.

1

The people who changed his thinking

Personal stories about success, purpose and what we can give to one another.

2

A simple map

Where your time and attention go, who benefits from your choices, and what might grow from them.

3

A seven-day experiment

A practical way to begin with the life you already have, not the one you are waiting for.

The seven-day experiment

Four small moves

Small enough to start this week. Big enough to change where your time and attention go.

अवसरः

Notice one opportunity

In the life you already have

कौशलम्

Use one skill

Something you already know how to do

संवादः

Make one call

Reach out to one person

कर्म

Move one dot

See what it sets in motion

You choose. You move. You become.

Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।

karmaṇy-evādhikāras te mā phaleṣhu kadāchana

You have a right to your actions, but never to their fruits.

Verse 2.47

The same spirit runs through the book. You cannot control where every dot lands. You can choose to move one today.
