#1 New York Times Bestseller REVISED WITH NEW MATIERAL Winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir "An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation." —Elizabeth Gilbert Nightline anchor Dan Harrisembarks 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, 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 propelled him through the ranks of a hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. Finally, Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research suggests 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 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.

Some people seem to be happy no matter what happens in their lives. Some people are sad and depressed, no matter how well off they are financially. Some people feel secure and peaceful, even though they may have none of the stuff other people have. What's going on here? What's the secret? It may be hard to believe, but happiness is only a thought away. It's really true. What happens within determines what happens without. To demonstrate how and why this is true, Len Chetkin gives us 100 thoughts, and accompanies them with 100 examples from his own life. These hundred thoughts can change the way you look at the world, which leads directly to happiness, because your own thoughts are the one thing in your life you can control. You can't control other people, or what they do. But you can control the way you think about it. In every way possible, who we are is the result of what we think. Here's how to understand how that really works. What Len Chetkin learned the hard way, you can learn the easy way, in this simple yet profound little book. It's all right here.
