Life is the story you tell yourself, because our lives are fundamentally stories that we tell ourselves. And a breach in the normal is what makes any story good.
Ever felt like your life is more of a rollercoaster than a straight path? You're not alone. In this engaging episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Bruce Feiler, the author of seven New York Times best-sellers and the mind behind two primetime PBS series. Feiler's book, *Life Is in the Transitions: Mastering Change At Any Age*, serves as the backdrop for a rich conversation about life's inevitable twists and turns.
Feiler shares his insights on how our lives are more like fairy tales, filled with challenges that shape our journey. He tackles the myth of a linear life, explaining how expecting life to follow a straight path can lead to feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Instead, he introduces the concept of 'life quakes'—those disruptive events that shake us to our core—and offers practical tools for navigating these transitions.
Zimmer and Feiler delve into the power of storytelling and how the narratives we create about our lives can either hinder or help us. They discuss the importance of feeding the right wolf within us, even when it's tough, and how updating our life stories can make us the heroes of our own adventures. This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone facing change, offering actionable advice on building resilience and finding meaning in life's unpredictable moments.
Whether you're dealing with a major life event or just trying to make sense of everyday challenges, Feiler's insights will leave you feeling empowered and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
