Summary

In our society of overabundance, we are constantly craving more, more, more. For me, I can't stop scrolling. It’s like a slot machine, but in this case, the slot machine is my phone. You know you can get something of value, you know you’ll eventually get a reward if you keep trying, and oh boy can you play it over and over again. Luckily, we had Michael Easter on the podcast this week to talk about fixing our craving mindset and rewiring our habits.

Michael Easter is the bestselling author of the books, The Comfort Crisis and Scarcity Brain: Fix Your Craving Mindset and Rewire Your Habits to Thrive with Enough. We were so happy to have him on because we've quoted his book numerous times. Easter has dedicated his life to researching and writing about what leads humans to live healthier, happier, and remarkable lives. Hear all about the scarcity brain, rewiring our habits, and why he needs to go to space. You can learn more about Michael here: https://eastermichael.com/

We're trying a book club episode! On November 7th, we will talk to Nikki Erlick, author of The Measure. Send your questions about the book and for Nikki at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. You can get the book, The Measure, here!

Kim and Penn are online content creators known for their award-winning videos, including original music, song parodies, and comedy sketches. Their videos have resulted in over 2 billion views and 8 million followers across their social media platforms since they (accidentally) went viral in 2013. They have a best-selling book on marriage communication, a top-rated podcast, a fun-filled family card game, and most recently, they were the winners on Season 33 of The Amazing Race.

The Holderness Family Podcast is edited and engineered by Max Trujillo of Trujillo Media and produced by Ann Marie Taepke, Sam Pressman, and Ashley Cimino.
