10% Happier by Dan Harris

4.0

Dan Harris, a self-described jerk (early in the book), takes a deep dive into meditation in its various forms to help him be less of a jerk and calm the voices in his head. He goes all in with his research, talking to “gurus,” experts, and everyday people about the benefits they’ve received from this practice. Funny writing style and some great stories about the stressful world of television news are icing on the cake. I’ve been interested in meditation from afar for a while for stress relief and mindfulness reasons but never thought my wacky, always-going brain could handle it. After reading Harris’s journey, I think I can, so I’m going to try.
