How do people find hope in the darkest times? Jonathan Goodman takes us on a journey to reframe our lives by doing less, not more. In this episode, Jonathan, an author and former software company owner, chats with host Eric Zimmer about 'unhinged habits'—a unique approach to improving life by subtracting unnecessary activities. Jonathan shares how selling his software company allowed him to focus on writing and living intentionally.
He highlights the importance of prioritising money, health, and relationships and embracing life's natural seasons. The discussion touches on the power of intense focus to transform habits and the value of revisiting childhood passions. Jonathan argues that by choosing fewer things deliberately, we can find clarity and lead more fulfilling lives. His analogy of life's triad—money, health, relationships—illustrates how balance is key; overload one side, and the whole structure might collapse.
Jonathan and Eric also explore the paradox of friendship and the notion that true friends are those who go beyond utility. They delve into the idea that you're not the author of your life but can be its editor, cutting out what no longer serves you. With a blend of personal stories and broader insights, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how doing less can lead to having more. Ready to rethink your habits?
