After experiencing a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris recognized the need for significant changes in his life. As a lifelong nonbeliever, he embarked on an unconventional journey involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a group of brain scientists. It eventually dawned on Harris that the root of his problems lay in the very thing he had alwayss considered his greatest asset : the relentless, insatiable voice in his head. This internal monologue had propelled him to success in a cutthroat business, but it had also led him to make egregiously foolish decisions that triggered his on-air breakdown.

In due course, Harris discovered an effective method to tame that relentless inner voice—a solution he had previously deemed either impossible or useless : meditation. Research suggests that this practice can have a wide range of benefits, from lowering blood pressure to essentially rewiring the brain. "10% Happier" takes readers on a captivating journey, exploring the realmss of neuroscience, delving into the inner workings of network news, and venturing into the peculiar corners of America's spiritual landscape. The book concludes with a takeaway that has the potential to genuinely transform lives.
