Your Change Gives Others Permission — The Théoden Effect

from The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle

In The Lord of the Rings, King Théoden sits under a spell — asleep to his own strength — until he wakes, remembers who he is, and his whole people rise with him. Jonathan Doyle on the overlooked gift of personal change: as you come alive, you quietly give everyone around you permission to do the same. Featuring what his own kids see (“Where’s Dad? Running in the snow. That’s what he does”) and why your example beats your arguments every time.“I just need them to see someone who’s not going back to sleep.”—Subscribe to The Daily Podcast with Jonathan Doyle for a new episode every day.
