Memoir After having a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris
knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he
found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced
pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain
scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of
his problems was the very thing he always thought was his
greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head,
which had propelled him through the ranks of a
hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to make the
profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. Eventually Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in
that voice, something he always assumed to be either
impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research
suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to
essentially rewire your brain. 10% Happier takes readers on
a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner
sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s
spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could
actually change their lives.
