10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works

✍️ By Dan Harris

In 10% Happier, ABC News anchor Dan Harris takes readers on a deeply personal and surprisingly humorous journey into the world of mindfulness and meditation. After experiencing a nationally televised panic attack, Harris set out to explore whether meditation—a practice he once dismissed as “hippie nonsense”—could actually improve his life. Through interviews with spiritual leaders, scientists, and self-help gurus, he uncovers practical ways to quiet the mind, manage stress, and boost overall happiness—without sacrificing ambition or success. With wit, skepticism, and refreshing honesty, 10% Happier offers a relatable guide to incorporating mindfulness into modern life, proving that small shifts in mindset can lead to significant improvements in well-being. Whether you're a skeptic or someone looking for a realistic approach to mindfulness, this book provides an accessible and compelling case for taking control of your inner dialogue.
