I’ve been listening to The One You Feed for a few years now, and I’ve loved so many episodes…too many to name. But the April 17 episode, where Tommy was coached by you, Eric, truly stood out to me.
I saw so much of myself in Tommy. Everything he shared resonated deeply, and the coaching you provided was incredibly impactful. It didn’t just help him…it helped me too. As I am sure many other listeners!
Thank you for creating an episode like this. I really hope you continue to do more coaching s... more

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.

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!

Canada2 months ago 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.
