How to Be a Better Human · Want to change your life? Start small! (w/ Eric Zimmer) · 6 Apr 2026 podcast

We can't help but want it.

Yeah, I think that's a really important point is the problem with quick answers and easy solutions is, one, they don't work for us.

But I think the bigger problem is often that when they don't work for us, we conclude that we are the problem.

Right?

If you say it's six easy steps, and this person's been on 30 podcasts, and their podcast has 100 million downloads, and they say, you just need to do those four things.

And you do those four things.

And you're not different.

What do you conclude?

Most of us don't conclude, oh, life's not that simple.

Most of us don't conclude, oh, wait, I'm complicated.

I might be different than the average, you know, like, we conclude there's something wrong with us.

And that's really problematic because the more that we think that something's wrong with us, the less we have the ability to hope in our ability to change, in our ability to live the life we want to live.

And it's back to this idea that I believe in so strongly is that change is a skill.

We can learn to do it, but we are not all the same.

When I coached people, there were some people who were so hard on themselves that what I had to do was be like, all right, we have got to lighten up.

We've got to relax.

You've got to give yourself a lot of grace and slack.

There were other people who took no accountability for what they did.

Those people I needed to say, like, we got to, like, we need to be a little more firm with ourselves, right?

Completely different advice.
