John R. Miles

In today's conversation, we discuss his powerful new book, How a Little Becomes a Lot.

which explores why lasting transformation rarely happens through dramatic reinvention and almost always happens through small repeated choices over time.

What I appreciated most about our conversation is that Eric doesn't approach change from the perspective of optimization culture or self-improvement performance.

He approaches it from the perspective of being human.

We talk about why so many people abandon change in the long middle after the initial excitement fades.

We explore self-compassion, rebuilding trust with yourself after setbacks, learning how to stay present in uncertainty, and why tiny daily behaviors quietly shape the trajectory of our lives far more than dramatic moments ever do.

There's also a deeper emotional layer to this conversation that I think many listeners will connect with, because underneath habits and behavior change is often a much more personal question.

Can I learn to become someone who believes I'm capable of change without constantly attacking myself in the process?

Eric speaks about that with remarkable honesty.
