""An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation.""—Elizabeth Gilbert

Nightline anchor Dan Harrisembarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable.

After having a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of a hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.

Finally, Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain. 10% Happier takes listeners on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

Incredible

The most grounded, accessible book on mindfulness I’ve ever read. If you are a busy-brained skeptic wanting to be in your head less and be present more this is the book for you.

Life changing read—and terribly entertaining and humorous

I hadn’t expected to be so drawn in and amused by Dan Harris’s account of his life as a broadcast journalist who gets assigned the religion beat a week before 9/11. and his career covering wars and breaking news for ABC. His account of coping with an on air panic attack that launches him on a search to quiet his mind and calm his nerves. Best of all I found my way to a impactful 10 min a day meditation practice that indeed sends amazingly positive ripples through my life despite living in his time of great upheaval.

Dan is the man

I found this book years ago when the first version was released, loved this revised one even more! I recommend it to everyone, literally everyone.

Might turn you into a meditation believer

This is well written and narrated. The way Mr. Harris presents his scepticism towards meditation drew me in, and has convinced me meditation is indeed worth a try.

Spoke to me

loved this. it really spoke to me. I've never used drugs but have a lot of mental health struggles including depression, anxiety and adhd. this seriously made me want to completely change my life and I felt like I had at least the start of the tools to do it because of this book

Absolutely Wonderful

Dan’s storytelling capabilities are superb. At no point was I yearning for the book to move faster, or for the book to be over. I adored listening to his transformation, and his “normalcy” that he exudes is so refreshing.

Funny and insightful

Great introduction to meditation and Buddhism told in an easy-listening quip-a-minute style. The last hour of the book is a variety-pack of guided meditations by different presenters.

Great narration! But slow to the point...

Great story telling & memoir....not very focused on reader's benefit or practical advice. Dont regret it, just more memoir style than i anticipated.

❤️

bravo! funny and educational hahha his voice is super cool and keeps you listening

A Meditation Adventure

A great and unique read for the genre. Harris’s skepticism and occasional acerbic humor makes this meditation book different from most. It’s also a narrative, and an adventure.

Everybody’s experience in approaching and practicing meditation is unique. However, I think most readers will find a connection with Harris’s personal journey and will profit in their own practice. I personally really enjoyed it and have listened to this audiobooks three times in as many years.

The last hour of this version of the audio book contains guided meditations.
