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.

The Science Of Getting Out Of Your Head | Annie Murphy Paul
This episode comes out for free on May 20th, and is available early and ad-free for Wondery+ subscribers.
An acclaimed science writer on how to upgrade your mind by using more than your head.
When you think about thinking, most of us think of it as a supremely solo pursuit. You’re in your head, concentrating and cogitating, all by yourself. But the science shows that if you want to improve your thinking, you need to get out of your head. Today we’re going to talk about a concept called “the extended mind.” Your mind isn’t just in your skull: it’s in your body, it’s in the people around you, it’s in your surroundings. The best thinking requires that you break out of what the writer David Foster Wallace called “the skull sized kingdom” and access these other resources.
This may sound abstract, but our guest today makes it very practical. Annie Murphy Paul is an acclaimed science writer whose work has appeared in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Scientific American, Slate, Time, and The Best American Science Writing, among many other publications. She is the author of Origins and The Cult of Personality, hailed by Malcolm Gladwell as a “fascinating new book.” Currently a fellow at New America, Paul has spoken to audiences around the world about learning and cognition; her TED talk has been viewed by more than 2.6 million people. A graduate of Yale University and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, she has served as a lecturer at Yale University and as a senior advisor at their Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning. Her latest book is The Extended Mind: The Power of Thinking Outside the Brain
In this episode, we also talk about:
How to use your surroundings to think better
My favorite of the three areas of this book – thinking with our relationships
Why “groupthink” isn’t always a bad thing (OR you can say, the benefits of thinking in groups)
What she called “extension inequality” – that this benefit of the extended mind isn’t available to all people

Amazing, inspiring, healing
Thank you Dan. Your podcast is a gem. A balm for the soul.
The short meditations have helped me enormously, and I love the insights and stories your guests share.
You are great and a pleasure to listen to.
Can’t say thank you enough.
Essence of wisdom
I like so much your podcast, Dan. Especially since this crisis occurred, you are an invaluable source of wisdom, spiritual healing and relief by putting yourself as a role model into the mess and let us see what happens to you within those conversations, acknowledging your weaknesses, sharing your thoughts as a human being instead of an anchor man, journalist or whatever. Thank you and keep going 🙏
Great podcast
Dan is such a great podcaster and storyteller. His questions are always thoughtful, interesting and resonate personally. I highly recommend.
