¿Estás demasiado ocupado para meditar? ¿No te sientes capaz de apagar tu cerebro? ¿Tienes curiosidad por el mindfulness pero te sientes mejor en el gimnasio? Entonces éste es tu libro.Dan Harris pensaba que la meditacion era para gente que coleccionaba cristales y usaba la palabra 'namaste' sin despeinarse. Pero despues de tener un ataque de panico delante de miles de personas en el canal de television ABC, realizo un viaje personal que finalmente le acabo convirtiendo en un firme defensor de la meditacion.En este libro, Harris y Jeff Warren, maestro y 'MacGyver de la meditacion' se embarcan en un viaje para explicar los mitos, malentendidos y malas experiencias que alejan a la gente de la meditacion. Esta repleto de ayuda para meditar, todo en un tono ameno y desde luego muy lejano a los tipicos gurus con los que poca gente se identifica.

10% HAPPIER is a spiritual book written for - and by - someone who would otherwise never read a spiritual book. 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. Harris anchored national broadcasts and he covered wars. Then he hit the brakes, and had a full-blown panic attack live on the air. What happened next was completely unforeseen. Through a bizarre series of events - involving a disgraced evangelical pastor, a mysterious self-help guru and a fateful gift from his wife - Harris stumbled upon something that helped him tame the voice in his head: meditation. At first, he was deeply suspicious. He had long associated meditation with bearded swamis and unwashed hippies. But when confronted with mounting scientific evidence that just a few minutes a day can literally rewire the brain for focus, happiness, and reduced reactivity, Harris took a deep dive. He spent years mingling with scientists, executives and marines on the front lines of a quiet revolution that has the potential to reshape society. He became a daily meditator, and even found himself on a ten-day, silent meditation retreat, which was simultaneously the best and worst experience he'd ever had. Harris's life was not transformed into a parade of rainbows and unicorns, but he did gain a passion for daily meditation. While the book itself is a narrative account of Dan's conversion amid the harried and decidedly non-Zen world of the newsroom, it concludes with a section for the novice on how to get started.

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, a revised and updated edition of the award-winning 1 New York Times bestseller that changed the way we look at meditation, expanded with new material by Dan Harris. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan 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. We all have an inner narrator. It s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email 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 - that there s nothing we can do to rein it in - but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. 10 Happier is now considered a classic text on the power of meditation, an introduction to the practice that can convert even the most hardened sceptic. With over a million copies sold, 10 Happier is the go-to guide, and with meditation now a widely accepted and encouraged practice, Dan Harris is a pivotal and approachable figure in the field who has built a thriving platform based on the ideas he first presented in this book. In this 10th Anniversary Edition, Harris offers a new preface reflecting on how much has changed - for him and for the public perceptions of meditation, plus a revised and expanded appendix, filled with guided meditations and practical advice for people looking to boot up a habit. I loved it - Ruby Wax A wonderful book and excellent advice. - Andy Puddicombe, founder of Headspace An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted, and quite a personal look at the benefits of meditation - Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love
