Good Life Project

Jonathan Fields has been hosting Good Life Project since 2013, and with over 1,100 episodes, it is one of the longest-running interview podcasts focused on living well. The guest list reads like a who's who of thought leaders: Brene Brown, Matthew McConaughey, Mel Robbins, Elizabeth Gilbert, Seth Godin, and hundreds more. But Fields is not just a name-dropper — he is a skilled interviewer who steers conversations toward the messy, honest parts of people's stories rather than the polished talking points. Each episode runs 45 to 75 minutes and releases twice a week. The focus stays on happiness, meaning, purpose, health, and resilience. Fields has a gentle, curious style that coaxes revelations out of guests who have told their stories a hundred times before. The 4.5-star rating from over 3,100 reviews reflects a dedicated audience. What makes this show stand out in a crowded self-improvement space is Fields' own vulnerability. He talks openly about his struggles with anxiety, his career pivots, and the moments when his own advice failed him. The New York Times praised the show's approach to fulfillment, and that editorial quality holds up across a decade of episodes. It is not the flashiest podcast in the category, but it might be the most consistently thoughtful one.
