This episode sees the return of author, health and wellness coach, and host of the Plant Yourself podcast Howard Jacobson. Prompted by nothing and nobody in particular, we tackle the tricky subject of how not to be an a**hole - especially when you are trying to coach or change somebody for the better. Along the way, we touch upon:

• 
  
• When and why good intentions go bad
  
• Clarifying your motivations
  
• Recognizing where the power lies (hint: it's not with you)
  
• The three golden rules of a**hole avoidance
  

Howie's new book - co-authored with Peter Bregman - will out later this year.
