When you’re growing a new habit that isn’t second nature, you’ll face situations that tempt you to regress to your old default behavior.
Some people deal with this through naive invocations of willpower: “I’ll just be strong and say no.”
Others get paranoid, and start seeing danger and threat in every situation. Obviously, neither of these is the answer.

PYP is one of my “anchor” plant-based podcasts — I always check out what Howard has posted. The information is wide-ranging but still stays on point with a focus on science-based holistic physical and mental health. Howard’s modest, aw-shucks persona is also a nice counterpoint to some other podcasts with more self-assured hosts. Confidence is great but Howard’s humility ensures that he tries not to be too dogmatic and is always questioning, with open-minded curiosity.
Howard is so humble - he is so incredibly smart and has so much experience, and the fact that his shows seem so effortless is a testament to how well-prepared he is and how much research he has done beforehand if there is a guest on his show. I always enjoy his conversations with Dr. Glenn Livingston and his post-pandemic era shows have been particularly good. This podcast consistently stays on my weekly must-listen to list.
I can't recommend this podcast highly enough. The guests on the show are extraordinary and the topics could not be of more importance and urgency. If you have any interest in living a more just, healthy, compassionate, and sustainable life, give this a listen!
