0:00.0	I don't want to be walking around without having to be attentive, with movement that doesn't involve my mind, my intelligence, my imagination.
0:11.8	Welcome to the one you feed. Throughout time, great thinkers have recognized the importance of the thoughts
0:21.7	we have. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true. And yet,
0:28.6	for many of us, our thoughts don't strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self-pity,

1:39.5	is going to challenge everything you think you know about hope,
1:43.9	about walking barefoot on the earth,
1:46.5	and about what it actually means to feed the good wolf. Fair warning, this conversation might
1:52.8	change how you see your own story. I'm Eric Zimmer, and this is the one you feed.
2:00.4	Make this summer's adventures more extraordinary with Audible.
