Critical Praise
“With startling, provocative and often very funny candor, Dan Harris tells the story of why he urgently needed to tame the strident voice in his head, and how he did it. His argument for the power of mindfulness --- which he bases both on cutting-edge science and his own hard-won experience --- will convince even the most skeptical reader of meditation’s potential.”
—Gretchen Rubin, author of THE HAPPINESS PROJECT
“The science supporting the health benefits of meditation continues to grow as does the number of Americans who count themselves as practitioners but, it took reading 10% HAPPIER to make me actually want to give it a try. Dan Harris takes the mystical mantle off of meditation and shows how easy it can be to incorporate into your life. His book is also a wonderfully candid coming-of-age look at a developing anchorman. Painfully candid, outrageously funny and definitely enlightening, Harris’s book left me feeling much more than 10% happier.”
—Richard E. Besser, M.D., Chief Health and Medical Editor, ABC News
“An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation that offers new insights as to how this ancient practice can help modern lives while avoiding the pitfall of cliché. This is a book that will help people, simply put. I know a lot of very powerful, very stressed-out, type-A personalities who will be getting this book from me as a gift this year.”“An enormously smart, clear-eyed, brave-hearted and quite personal look at the benefits of meditation that offers new insights as to how this ancient practice can help modern lives while avoiding the pitfall of cliché.

“A self-help guide even skeptics will embrace…Harris crushes stereotypes about meditation and recounts how it slashed his stress and quieted his anxious mind.”
—Parade
“Harris never loses his sense of humor as he affably spotlights one man’s quest for internal serenity while concurrently navigating the slings and arrows of a hard-won career in the contemporary media spotlight. Friendly, practical advocacy for the power of mindfulness and enlightenment.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Harris’s journey of discovery brought back lessons for all of us about our lives, too.”
—Diane Sawyer
