About this listen
**THE NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD**
'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.

Excellent
The honesty of the story allows the reader to see meditation as something achievable while managing expectations about the results of practice. My only criticism is that the performance sounds like you are being read news headlines(unsurprisingly), it can feel too intense.

Absolutely fantastic!
This book opened a new world to me.
Dan has managed to promote the idea and practice of meditation with the backing and running commentary of real thoughs, feelings and a highlight reel of real world issues. The point is to preservere and keep asking questions.
I will listen to this book again and again and keep practicing to practice meditation.

100% Practical
I was suggested this book by Hugh Jackman via his twitter feed, and I was not disappointed.
A true practical guide to finding a meditation style that suits you. Know that you aren't alone in your quest for inner peace, but also know there is not one straight path to it either.
Highly recommended, seeker and sceptic alike.

Disappointed
Too self-centric. Basically an autobiography full of the author's ego. Puts others down to elevate himself.

Straight TORTURE son.
This was absolutely useless, I have zero interest in this man's autobiography which is mostly what it is interwoven with his banal efforts to get involved with Mindfulness. Spare yourselves. Avoid at all cost

An autobiography disguised as self-help
Spoiler: he's referring to Buddhism, but doesn't actually talk about it until about 5 hours in. He spends more time talking about his earlier career and drug addiction, then he does anything that's actually helpful. The interesting bit is towards the end, his ten pillars.
I wouldn't have minded so much if this book was less about his worry around his receding hairline, but ultimately it's controlling vanity that's at the heart of this book.
He has some valid points towards the end and I commend his open-mindedness, I just wish he hadn't told his life story prior.
