Audio Book Summary

#1 New York Times Bestseller

Winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir

'An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation.'—Elizabeth Gilbert

Nightline anchor Dan Harrisembarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable.

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.

Finally, 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 listeners 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.

    I like Dan very much and I enjoyed learning about his journey. I had hoped to learn more detail about “how to” find that 10% happiness vs 100% of Dans bio. I ended the booked feeling a bit like he did after his 10 day silence experience. None the less, it was so well narrated that I enjoyed following along with his journey and his personal growth. He’s funny, kind and very well researched.

    The book has good, useful insights. There were some quite detailed and uninteresting parts as well. Overall, it is a nice introspection in the journey of a person that wants to have a more peaceful life in an overwhelming society.
