Publisher Description

**THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD**
In celebration of its 10th anniversary, a revised and updated edition of the award-winning classic that changed the way we look at meditation.


'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.

This 10th Anniversary Edition includes a new preface from Dan Harris and a revised and expanded appendix, filled with guided meditations and practical advice for people looking to build a meditation habit.

BrainXP ,

Spot a sign “yield to the present”. Jesus.

The review title is possibly my favourite line from the book. Initially I thought Dan is just a narcissistic guy who needs to be on camera 24/7 and will stab you with a plastic fork in the back to achieve this goal, but as the book progresses you get to see how he changes, evolves, and grows as a human being. His open mindedness to spirituality with a healthy dose of scepticism makes this book a good read, with every chapter becoming more and more interesting as the story continues. This books helps me to Respond instead of just reacting to life situations... without losing edge, which as you will see is very important in Dan’s life.
