Books like 10% Happier by Dan Harris


After a televised panic attack on Good Morning America, News Night anchor Dan Harris—long a self‑described skeptic—seeks relief and encounters a disillusioned pastor, a controversial guru, and neuroscientists. He learns that the relentless inner voice driving anxiety and impulsive choices can be tamed through meditation. Harris explores scientific studies linking meditation to lowered blood pressure and brain re‑wiring, and meets CEOs, scientists, and even Marines who use mindfulness to regain calm and focus. The book chronicles his journey from skepticism to acceptance, offering readers a realistic, evidence‑based guide to reducing stress, improving mental well‑being, and cultivating lasting happiness.
