About this listen
**THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD**
'A sceptic's guide to meditation . . . I loved it' - Ruby Wax
'An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite a personal look at the benefits of meditation' - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love
We all have an inner narrator. It's what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our emails compulsively, eating when we're not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us assume we're stuck with this voice - but Dan Harris stumbled upon an effective way to quiet his mind.
After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, 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.
10% Happier is considered a classic text on the power of meditation and an introduction to the practice that can convert even the most hardened sceptic.

Enlightening!! :-)
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. As someone who is learning to meditate who has the same reservations as Dan draws out in this book I found it reassuring that it is all part of the process. It has helped speed up my “journey” and understanding of the topic. Being from the UK and not really knowing who Dan Harris is- I had no preconceptions. There are parts where I laughed out loud, it’s entertaining and interesting story of Dan’s discovery of mindfulness. Thoroughly recommend this book!

Its a great story and a brilliant self-help book
I would get this book even if you don't want it for the self-help side of things.
That said I think this book perfectly helps many people learn from years of "mistakes" and trial and error on the part of Dan. If more self-help books were this relatable and entertaining I think I would enjoy learning a lot more. 10% happier at a minimum.

Been on my list for years
Enjoyed this and am glad I’ve listened. Really enjoyed hearing about his early career and he does a great job in highlighting the challenges and issues in the news arena. I did, however, struggle with the simplicity of the ‘breakthrough’.
Worth a listen even if the take home advice is short and sweet

insightful, funny and down to earth. loved it.
I've listen to this audiobook twice and I love it. Great tips and explanation. The interviews described are so helpful to better understand what other meditation teachers are saying. Brilliant listen and I will listen again soon.

My kind of book
I was searching for a book about mindfulness and meditation for beginners and someone mentioned this one. It turned out to be exactly how I like it - inspiring by an authentic personal story rather than overwhelming you with a list of clever sounding generic statements, down to earth and a pleasure to read.

Great Autobiography + Meditation
A great story of personal discovery, and a sceptic's positive introduction to meditation without the silly spooky stuff. Dan's healthy and humorous cynisism still shines through to to the end as a valuable inoculation against woo smuggled in under the guise of mystery.

insightful
A frank, insightful and often amusing story. I particularly enjoyed Dan's access to some of the spiritual 'big hitters and his unclouded commentary on his experience at the time. Thanks Dan for sharing this.
