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

byDan Harris

After an on-air panic attack forced him to confront his stress and ambition, television journalist Dan Harris began investigating meditation with a skeptic's eye. He recounts encounters with spiritual teachers, self-help figures, scientists, and newsroom colleagues while testing whether mindfulness could make him calmer without dulling his competitive edge. The result blends memoir, reporting, and an accessible introduction to meditation. Harris presents mindfulness as a practical skill rather than a mystical cure, showing how attention and self-awareness can interrupt habitual reactions and make everyday life more manageable.
