About the book
A panic attack on live television set ABC News anchor Dan Harris, who had once dismissed meditation as a pastime for crystal collectors, on the path to becoming one of its most vocal public advocates. He says it left him more focused and less ruled by his emotions. Here he teams up with meditation teacher Jeff Warren on a cross-country trip to confront the myths and self-deceptions that hold people back from meditating. The book offers practical meditation instructions, which are also offered as guided audio on the 10% Happier app. They are meant for people who feel too busy to meditate, cannot switch off their thoughts, or feel more at home in the gym.
Author Gretchen Rubin praised it as well researched, practical and full of expert advice, and Mark Epstein said Harris makes meditation make sense.
