Nightline anchor Dan Harris embarks 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 on Good Morning America, 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 both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.
We all have a voice in our head. It’s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we’re not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we’re stuck with this voice – that there’s nothing we can do to rein it in – but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. It’s a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it’s something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness.
10% Happier takes readers 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.

Too much of detailed biography and too little about mindfulness

Ingen självhjälpsbok sån tur är. Mest humor. Några russin dock för den som letar

Det här är ingen instruktionsbok, vilket jag inte tror att den utger sig för att vara. Det finns en myriad böcker om mindfulness som tyvärr präglas av ett flumspråk många av oss finner frånstötande. Denna bok är ett bra alternativ för oss som kan uppskatta värdet av mindfulness utan att känna tvång att anamma det flummiga aspekterna av ämnet. Lite humor skadar inte heller. Efter att jag läst Jon Kabat Zins böcker och liknande så tycker jag denna bok är en bra introduktion i ämnet för skeptiker na

Ointressant berättelse om författarens liv. En typisk självhjälpsbok om att lyckas i livet skriven av en driven, tävlingsinriktad amerikan, men utan själva självhjälpsdelen. Hetsigt uppläst av en röst som knappast väcker känslor av välbehag.

This is not a self help book or an instruction on how to meditate. It’s rather a personal story about a doubtful man exploring how meditation changes his life. Much recommend if you are a non believer.
