Happiness, Self-Help, Memoirs, Meditation, Religion & Spirituality 

After having a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced Pastore, a mysterious self-help guru, and a brain scientist. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he had always taught was his greatest asset; the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to his on-air-freak-out.

Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either be impossible or useless -- meditation, a tool that research suggest can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain. "10% Happier" takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner spectrum news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.
