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.

Permanent development
Thanks to Dan Harris commitment I eagerly return to this well of enlightment every week. 10% happier - every week … what an unmatchable growth.
En av de bästa poddarna som avhandlar mindfulness
Sakligt, informativt och underhållande!
Intressanta samtal med meditatörer
Dan Harris är en amerikansk nyhetsankare som praktiserat meditation i snart 10 år och har sedan dess blivit en stark röst inom mindfulness-communityt tanke vare denna podcast och flera böcker. Podcasten bygger på intervjuer med andra meditatörer och hur deras resp. praktik har påverkat deras liv. Samtalen är lätt att följa, väcker många värdefulla tankar och påminner en om sina egna vanemönster. Stark rekommendation förhållande nyfikna, nybörjare som mer erfarna meditatörer 🙏🏽
