Great story and great information!

I’ve already been meditating for the past two years, and with great benefit, but never with any formal study. Dans account of his own journey was so thoroughly enjoyable that I listened to it with wrapped attention on a long drive, even though many of the concepts were already familiar to me. His humor and his incredible storytelling abilities, made it all so impactful. I especially enjoyed his account of his 10 day, silent meditation retreat, and his stories of Sam Harris, and Joseph Goldstein, my personal heroes. he reminds us that meditation is a humbling practice and it is just that, a practice, but he does so with such panache that no matter where you are in your meditation journey, you will enjoy this book. Lastly, his struggle with the balance between achievement and contentment is one that I to have struggled with, and I would be surprised that not everyone considers in their own path to Nirvana. Thoroughly fun, engrossing, and instructional. Definitely worth a read!

The genuine story and effective meditation.

I am easily distracted and much like Dan the world flies by faster than I can catch each fly ball. Dan’s book has given me a fighting chance to slow the world down.

Enlightening and Healing

I’ve been a listener of the 10 Percent Happier Podcast (Wondery) and also a subscriber to the app for a few years now. It is my favorite podcast and most nights I use the sleep meditations on the app. I came to read this book based on the podcast episodes highlighting it’s anniversary. I’m glad I did! Dan, if you’re reading this, know that your work in this area has changed my life. As a highly anxious person who has gone through cycles of recovery and lapses into agoraphobia all my life, your podcast and app, and now book, has helped me in my recent recovery process. Meditation has provided a much needed period of self-reflection. I’m a better person for it and it’s inspired me to write about my experience with agoraphobia, meditation and self awareness. I love your writing style and no BS approach. I love that you break it down for people who have no clue about meditation. Thank you a million times over and may you happy. May you be safe and protected from harm. May you be healthy and strong. May you live with ease.

Easy to understand

This was very helpful to me and I will be more mindful after what I have learned.

10% something

I saw this book on a lot of must read lists. Although it was interesting perspective on meditation, I don’t think it was the book for me.
