10% Happier

Description

In 10% Happier by Dan Harris, a former ABC News anchor, you'll discover a surprisingly effective way to quiet the mental noise and cultivate a sense of peace and well-being.

Harris, a self-proclaimed skeptic, wasn't always a meditation advocate. After a national panic attack on live television, he embarked on an unexpected journey to explore meditation, a practice he initially considered strange and useless.

10% Happier chronicles Harris's exploration of meditation, weaving together his personal experiences with insights from:

• Neuroscience: Learn how meditation can rewire your brain to promote focus, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
• Meditation teachers: Gain practical guidance from prominent meditation teachers, offer various techniques for beginners.
• Spiritual leaders: Explore the philosophical underpinnings of meditation and its role in cultivating inner peace.

The book isn't about achieving some lofty state of enlightenment. Harris uses the metaphor of "10% happier" to suggest that even small improvements in your mental well-being can have a significant impact on your life.
