When you're dealing with tough issues, especially involved with mental health. Quotes like garbage in, garbage out, or you are what you think ring true.
Ever wondered how the stories you tell yourself shape your life? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with Matthew Quick, the New York Times bestselling author of 'The Silver Linings Playbook'. Quick's journey from a tenured teaching position to an unpaid fiction writer is nothing short of inspiring. He dives into the importance of self-narratives and how they can influence both mental and physical health.
Quick's books often feature characters who use stories to navigate their struggles. He believes that the narratives we create in our minds can either help us thrive or hold us back. During the conversation, Quick shares his insights on balancing rationality with emotions, handling tough issues, and finding humor even in difficult times. He also touches on the concept of 'the good luck of right now', a philosophy that encourages living in the present moment.
Listeners will find themselves reflecting on their own inner dialogues and how these stories impact their daily lives. Quick's blend of humor and wisdom offers a fresh perspective on mental health and personal growth. Whether you're facing challenges or simply looking to understand yourself better, this episode provides valuable takeaways. Join Eric Zimmer and Matthew Quick as they explore the power of stories and how feeding your 'good wolf' can lead to a more fulfilling life.
