Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, 10% Happier. On this show, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity. Guests include everyone from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. On some episodes, Dan ventures into the deep end of the pool, covering subjects such as enlightenment and psychedelics. On other episodes, it’s science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. Dan's approach is seemingly modest, but secretly radical: happiness is a skill you can train, just like working your bicep in the gym. Your progress may be incremental at first, but like any good investment, it compounds over time. New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Listen to 10% Happier on the Wondery App or wherever you listen to your podcasts. You can listen early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

We did this event to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Dan’s first book, also called 10% Happier. The night was structured like a late night show, so there was a monologue, and live music with the band Mates of State.

Joseph has studied and practiced meditation since 1967 under the guidance of eminent teachers from India, Burma, and Tibet and he leads Insight Meditation retreats around the world. In this episode we talk about: - The three month solo silent meditation retreat Joseph had just finished - How to not suffer in the face of unwanted experiences - Three exercises for slowing down - Pragmatic applications of retreat practice for life in the real world - How to see outside yourself - How Mark came to Buddhism 50 years ago - The relationship between Buddhism and psychotherapy - The Buddhist concept of the two levels of reality - And a guided meditation from a surprise guest Related Episodes: Nirvana | Joseph Goldstein Dr. Mark Epstein On: How To Transform Your Neuroses Into “Little Shmoos” I Just Did A 10-Day Silent Meditation Retreat With Joseph Goldstein.
