He was homeless, struggling with **addiction**, and sick. Now, **Eric Zimmer** is the author, teacher, and host behind the massive hit podcast, **The One You Feed** (with over 50 million downloads!), exploring the secrets to a meaningful life. In this powerful episode, Eric doesn't just share his inspiring personal story of recovery from addiction and hepatitis C; he reveals the practical, real-world tools that helped him get—and stay—clean for good. **You'll discover:** * **What we get completely wrong** about **willpower, motivation,** and that idea of hitting "rock bottom." * Why **relapse and resistance** are not failures, but a necessary part of the path to change. * The life-changing power of **wise habits** that can keep you strong, even when life throws its hardest challenges at you. * A sneak peek into his forthcoming book, ***How a Little Becomes a Lot***, which breaks down how to create **real, lasting transformation** without relying on big epiphanies or temporary motivation. This conversation is about more than self-improvement—it’s about learning how to live with **more integrity, less noise, and a deeper sense of meaning.** Don't miss this incredibly honest and helpful discussion.
