Jonathan Fields on Crafting a Meaningful Life on The One You Feed

In life, there are two wolves inside of us that are always at battle. One is a good wolf, which represents things like kindness, bravery, and love. And the other is a bad wolf, which represents things like greed, hatred, and fear. The one you feed wins.
How do you create a life that feels truly fulfilling? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Jonathan Fields, the mind behind the Good Life Project. Fields, a New York City dad and husband, runs a mission-driven media and education venture aimed at helping people live more meaningful, connected, and vital lives. He’s also the author of 'How to Live a Good Life: Soulful Stories, Surprising Science, and Practical Wisdom'.
With millions tuning into his podcast and video series, Fields is no stranger to the art of living well. Throughout their conversation, Zimmer and Fields explore the idea of feeding the 'good wolf'—focusing on positivity and growth over negativity and fear. Fields introduces his concept of the three 'good life buckets': Connection, Vitality, and Contribution. He explains that our overall well-being depends on how full each of these buckets is. If one is lacking, it affects the others.
They also delve into practical ways to improve your daily life, even in a job that might not be your dream role. Fields shares his own experiences and mistakes, offering listeners actionable advice on finding passion and purpose. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the relationship between money and happiness, emphasizing the importance of self-care and surrounding yourself with positive influences.
Whether you’re looking to boost your vitality or find more meaning in your work, this episode offers valuable insights for anyone striving to live a good life.
