Summary

This week we talk to James Clear about building habits James Clear is an entrepreneur, weightlifter, and travel photographer. He writes at JamesClear.com, where he talks about scientific research and real-world experiences that help you rethink your health and improve your life. His blog gets millions of visitors per year. In This Interview James and I Discuss... The One You Feed parable. How money can be an addiction that society rewards. How much we over estimate one defining moment versus steady day to day behavior. The aggregation of marginal gains- improve by 1% in everything you do. Small changes can lead to big results. Reduce the Scope, Stick to The Schedule. Not letting your emotions drive your behavior. The difference between professionals and amateurs. It's not the result that matters but the action and habit. The 2 Minute Rule. How willpower often comes after we start, not before. "Start with something so easy you can't say no to it"- Leo Babuta You don't have to be great at the start, you just need to be there. Learning from our failures and seeing it as a data point. Seeing failure as an event, not as part of us. How mentally tough people define themselves by their persistence, not failure. Acquiring more mental toughness or grit. How 21 days to create a habit is a myth. Missing a habit once in awhile is not a big deal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, it's Eric from the one you feed. Happy holidays to you. Whether you enjoy them or you hate them,
0:05.7	I hope you're making the best of them. As a holiday gift and as preparation for the new year, we are
0:12.3	re-releasing seven of the older episodes. If you're new to the show, all these episodes are over a year
0:19.9	old, so you may not have heard these yet if you've only been listening for a year. I pick the episodes
0:26.4	because either A, I think it's a really great episode, or B, I think it talks about behavior change,
0:32.5	which we're heading into the new year and that's on a lot of people's mind. Speaking of which,
0:37.6	we are going to try something this new year. We're going to try the first one you feed group
0:43.9	transformation program. It'll be $100 for a month. We're going to limit it to 10 people. We will
0:50.7	meet online four times that month. We'll discuss tips and tricks and different ways to ensure that
0:56.8	you stay on track behavior wise. You'll be able to ask questions of me and we'll do some things where
1:02.4	you're paired up as a group so that you can get some support outside of the calls as well to make

1:34.7	you for listening and we will talk to you soon. Bye. We often think that if I start with something
1:40.5	so small that it isn't going to make a difference, it's not going to matter. But the truth is because
1:44.8	that momentum builds after you get going, you can often start with something very tiny and then
1:49.7	it'll blossom into something much bigger afterward. Welcome to the oneufeed. Throughout time,
2:02.6	great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts we have, quotes like garbage in,
2:08.0	garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true. And yet for many of us, our thoughts don't
