**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.©2014 Dan Harris Personal Development Personal Success Spirituality Meditation Happiness Funny Mindfulness Witty

What did you like most about 10% Happier?

Firstly, the story is entertaining and told in a light hearted endearing manner. It resonates with my journey. The only downside is the narration. Dan has an excellent TV voice but not suited to book narration. Even his own. It would have benefited from a professional voice over. The style was too 'TV news', imparting information and authority when a more sympathetic, story telling voice would have been better. Just my personal opinion. Take it or leave it.

Great story but narration let it down a little

It is a very interesting book, it doesn’t give you any scientific definitions about meditation, instead the author narrates his own experience with meditation, how he applied it to his own life, the doubts he felt during the journey and the positive changes he felt on himself.

I liked it very much because portrays the reality of what most people encounter when starting to meditate. It also tells you life or meditation is never pink but it is worth to try.

If you are looking for motivation and a friendly approach to meditation get the this book!

Perfect for skeptics about meditation

I was searching for a book about mindfulness and meditation for beginners and someone mentioned this one. It turned out to be exactly how I like it - inspiring by an authentic personal story rather than overwhelming you with a list of clever sounding generic statements, down to earth and a pleasure to read.

My kind of book

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. As someone who is learning to meditate who has the same reservations as Dan draws out in this book I found it reassuring that it is all part of the process. It has helped speed up my “journey” and understanding of the topic. Being from the UK and not really knowing who Dan Harris is- I had no preconceptions. There are parts where I laughed out loud, it’s entertaining and interesting story of Dan’s discovery of mindfulness. Thoroughly recommend this book!

Enlightening!! :-)
