Making lasting changes in our behavior is a battle.

It's difficult, and most of us don't succeed at it for very long.

And I host a podcast where I've talked to over 150 thought leaders and authors and psychologists and spiritual teachers, people like...

Andrew Solomon, Carol Dweck, Simon Sinek, Don Miguel Ruiz.

And we talk about what it means to live a good life.

And right at the heart of living a good life is being able to choose how we want to behave and actually follow through on that.

Most of us think when it comes to creating new habits that it's a matter of willpower or discipline and that we don't have enough of either.

We might suspect inwardly that maybe we're just the kind of person who can't follow through on things.

We think that making lasting change is something that only other people can do.

One of the key ideas I'd like you to get today is that changing behavior is a skill.

It's something that you can learn to do.

You can get better at creating new habits.

I'm Eric Zimmer.

I'm the author of the new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot, The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life.

And I am also the host of the award-winning podcast, The One You Feed.

Yeah, I start by reading an old parable of unknown origin and it goes like this.

There's a grandparent who's talking with a grandchild and they say in life there are two wolves inside of us that are always at battle.

One is a good wolf, which represents things like kindness and bravery and love.

And the other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed and hatred and fear.

And the grandchild stops.
