The Second Arrow - Stories We Tell Ourselves with Eric Zimmer

In this Episode, I interviewed Eric Zimmer the host of the podcast “The One You Feed.” “The One You Feed” podcast was named Best of 2014 by iTunes, and it's an amazing collection of open minded discussions of habits, wisdom, psychology, philosophy, and motivation. Eric starts his episodes with a short story that explains the title of his podcast: An old grandfather told his grandson: “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, and resentment. The other is good. It is joy, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and bravery.” The boy thought about it, and asked, “Grandfather, which wolf wins?” The old man quietly replied, “The one you feed.” In this conversation Eric and I discuss: – One of Eric’s favorite stories, “The Second Arrow” – “I’ll be happy when” mindset and its alternatives – Fixed Mindset and Growth Mindset (Dr. Carol Dweck) – How can we stop the reactive cycles in our lives – The power of stories Subscribe to The One You Feed podcast at OneYouFeed.net If you want a weekly mindset workout, make sure you are subscribed to MINDSET ZONE podcast via iTunes, or Stitcher.

Our mindsets determine the way we see the world, as well as, the way we behave and who we are as people. It’s very easy and normal to stay stuck in fixed mindsets - limiting beliefs about our abilities and skills that prevent us to learn new things. We can intentionally cultivate a growth mindset that allows us to stretch our minds and amplify the realm of possibilities of what we do, and who we are. Amplifying our mindsets is one of the secrets of success, for most entrepreneurs, business owners, and professionals out there.
