Dan Harris Knows All Your Excuses for Not Meditating

Note to Self | Jan 3, 2018

We can’t stop the world from turning. Or the vitriol getting posted online. But we can control how (or whether) we react.

Dan Harris anchors ABC News Nightline and Good Morning America on the weekends. His first book chronicled how meditation pretty much transformed him from a jerk to a total mensch. His latest is Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. His podcast - and app - are also called 10% Happier… and thanks to a listener’s suggestion, Manoush and Dan are on each other’s podcasts this week.

To talk the difference between “mindful” and “purposeful” tech use and how meditation can be a political act. It’s inspiring stuff. They jibed. Please check out both episodes.
