We do a lot more inward thinking when we lose than when we win. This podcast is about how other people keep themselves moving in the right direction.
What if losing was the best thing that ever happened to you? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Sam Weinman, Golf Digest's digital editor and author of *Win at Losing: How Our Biggest Setbacks Can Lead to Our Greatest Gains*. Sam dives into the transformative power of setbacks, emphasizing that we often learn more from our losses than our wins.
Drawing from his extensive experience in sports journalism, he explains how sports can mirror life’s broader challenges and victories. Sam offers practical advice on how to handle failure constructively, urging listeners to shift their focus from outcomes to the process itself. He highlights the importance of talking to yourself as you would a good friend and finding a balance between self-criticism and self-compassion.
The episode also touches on the concept of counterfactual thinking—how reflecting on what could have been can either trap us in negativity or propel us toward improvement. Sam’s insights on resilience and maintaining a growth mindset are both inspiring and actionable, providing a fresh perspective on how to turn setbacks into stepping stones.
Whether you’re struggling with personal challenges or simply looking to improve your mental game, this episode offers valuable lessons on embracing failure and feeding the good wolf within.
