It is both a deadly serious and seriously funny look at mindfulness and meditation as the next big public health revolution.Dan Harris always believed the restless, relentless, impossible-to-satisfy voice in his head was one of his greatest assets. How else can you climb the ladder in an ultra-competitive field like TV news except through nonstop hand-wringing and hyper vigilance? For a while, his strategy worked. Meditation For Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play the pan pipes, and use the word namaste without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation's most vocal public proponents.Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other benefits. And yet there are millions of people who want to meditate but aren't actually practising. What's holding them back?

I really enjoyed reading this book and it had a lot of great information that I still use today. I didn't really like the sales pitches afterwards for their app. Started at $99.99, then went down to $69.99, etc. Could have done without that.

Loved these books! I listened on audible and highly recommend. I loved the interspersed meditations and enjoyed having Dan Harris read to me!

[Yvette · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the not the first book I have read on this subject, but it gave me a rung low enough, to actually begin the climb toward a meditation habit and all that such a practice promises.

Life changing. Will read again, and again, and again.

[Agnes Fells · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an amusing book about the very serious and rewarding practice of meditation. A highly recommended book for beginners.

Meditation for fidgety skeptics is the more helpful of the two of you are looking to begin a practice.10% happier is mostly memoir.
