The One You Feed | Personal Growth, Emotional Resilience & Purpose · How to Tame Your Advice Monster and Become a Better Listener | Michael Bungay Stanier · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

I keep trying to remember, look, so what I care about, therefore, is taking my best guess at what I can do to try and influence this, because I can't control much of it, but I can do things and ask and be brave and try and pull some stuff off that increase the odds.

And I can care deeply about the quality of the book I produce and the quality of the podcast I go on and all of that stuff.

And I can notice myself caring about where my book is on Amazon, which is like, oh, yeah, I do actually care about where it is on Amazon.

But I am just trying to hold that thing lightly because I'm like –

I'm doing all I can in the process and the outcome, it works or it doesn't work or it kind of works.

And notice the delight or the frustration or the sadness and try not to get overly entangled in it.

But, you know, all of this is like a lifetime of spiritual growth as much as it is about top tips on book marketing.

Well, a few ways.

One is, and this is a phrase you and I have talked about, is the phrase, I've already won.

And I'm like, man, I have already won.

I've had this book that has given me financial freedom.

I've been happily married for 30-some years.

I have my physical health.

Four-time guest on The One You Feed.

I should have led with that.

I have two brothers that I really like and their families I really like.

I got to be present with my dad when he was dying.

I like my mom.

I mean, I've just like, I've crushed it.

So one is like, I have already won.
