Small Steps to Happiness: The Science of Mindful Living with Laurie Santos | From The One You Feed

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Pushkin. Hey Happiness Lab listeners, Dr. Lori Santos here with a little something extra for you this week.

On Monday's episode, I spoke with podcaster and author Eric Zimmer about his new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot, and how, in spite of our instincts, it's often better for our long term health and happiness to set smaller goals rather than big ones. But Eric and I actually go back a little further than the episode. A while back, I joined him on his podcast, The One You Feed. We covered some of the same themes we explored in Monday's show, but in that conversation we went even further. Plus, he was interviewing me.

I wanted to share that discussion with you today. I hope you enjoy it, and we'll be back next week with a brand new episode of the show. Welcome to the One You Feed. Throughout time great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true, and yet for many of us our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us.
