  • Magnificent

    Eric zimmer’s brilliant podcast has such depth, insight and compassionate intelligence that it always bears listening to, even subjects that might seem extraneous to one’s needs in life. I would buy his book in a blink because he is the real deal, not a self-help grifter but a man who has studied and learned and drawn from the greatest wisdom systems and to emerge from his own personal struggles into a guide and healer for the rest of us. On human nature: that’s what this is. Thank you.

  • First podcast I got into

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for over 8 years now and I love it. It is part of how I have not drank alcohol since that time as well. I have always found it very helpful and inspirational. Eric is a very thoughtful interviewer, and I can’t wait to read his new book!

  • I love how each guest’s answer to the “which wolf to feed” parable really helps distinguish their thinking and work. Eric’s really thoughtful dialogues and sharing from his own experience help the listener learn and feel like they’re not alone in their search for a life that feels better.

    I enjoyed this episode very much. It resonates with me to a big degree. I am a little unsure what fawning means. I’ll have to research it more.

  • Transformational

    Knowledge is a tool. We can educate ourselves ad nauseam but everything we learn can’t make an impactful difference in our lives unless we put what we know into action. This podcast has helped transform my life through both education and learning how to implement positive action. I recommend Eric’s content to everyone I know and I am forever grateful for how much his work has helped me and my life.
