Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical ABC newsman who had a panic attack live on Good Morning America, which led him to something he always thought was ridiculous: meditation. He wrote the bestselling book, "10% Happier," started an app -- "10% Happier: Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics" -- and now, in this podcast, Dan talks with smart people about whether there's anything beyond 10%. Basically, here's what this podcast is obsessed with: Can you be an ambitious person and still strive for enlightenment (whatever that means)? New episodes every Wednesday morning.

Drop the pivot

Thank you so much for the inspiring interview with Sylvia Boorstein. I am touched by her grandmotherly wisdom, and the giggle. I think I may be 10% less “fretful “ now.

Mixed Feelings

Really enjoy some of these, especially the episodes focused on developing mindfulness or improving overall well-being. Just listened to an episode that started out really strong and devolved into politics, and it left me feeling unmotivated to listen to more episodes. Not to be confused with the episode about developing mindfulness in parliament, that episode was highly beneficial. The episode in question brought up political issues that had very little if anything to do with mindfulness and more to do with personal agendas. Better luck with the next episode I listen to, hopefully.
