10% Happier provides skeptics with an easy route into meditation, taking a pragmatic approach to the science behind this practice.

Life as an ABC News correspondent should feel pretty good, being paid well and recognized by millions around the world.

But for author, journalist, and news co-anchor Dan Harris, the pressure became too much. He experienced a panic attack while reporting live on national television.

Embarrassed, Harris was driven to self-reflection and thus began a long journey into the science of stress and was introduced to the idea of mindfulness.

Although originally a skeptic himself, Dan Harris eventually learned to tame his ego with the power of meditation, the foundations of which he shares in his 2014 bestseller, 10% Happier.
