Summary:
ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word "namaste" without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation''s most vocal public proponents. Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other benefits. There are millions of people who want to meditate but aren't actually practicing. What's holding them back? Harris and his friend Jeff Warren, a masterful teacher, embark on a cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that stop people from meditating. They travel across eighteen states, talking to scores of would-be meditators - including parents, military cadets, police officers, and even a few celebrities. They create a taxonomy of the most common issues and offer up science-based life hacks to help people overcome them. The book is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions. You'll also get access to the 10% Happier app from 10percenthappier.com where you can listen to guided audio versions of the meditations. Dan Harris is the co-anchor of ABC's Nightline television news program. He is the author of the book 10% Happier.
