Dan Harris

Winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir Nightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. 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, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. We all have a voice in our head. 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 would 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. It’s a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it’s something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness. 10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics

'Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics is well researched, practical, and crammed with expert advice and it's also an irreverent, hilarious page-turner.' - Gretchen Rubin ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play the pan pipes, and use the word namaste without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation's most vocal public proponents. Science suggests that meditation can lower blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain, among numerous other benefits. And yet there are millions of people who want to meditate but aren't actually practising. What's holding them back? In this guide to mindfulness and meditation for beginners and experienced meditators alike, Harris and his friend Jeff Warren, embark on a cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that stop people from meditating. They rent a rock-star tour bus and travel across the US, talking to scores of would-be meditators, including parents, police officers, and even a few celebrities. They create a taxonomy of the most common issues ("I suck at this," "I don't have the time," etc.) and offer up science-based life hacks to help people overcome them. The book is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions. Amid it all unspools the strange and hilarious story of what happens when a congenitally sarcastic, type-A journalist and a groovy Canadian mystic embark on an epic road trip into America's neurotic underbelly, as well as their own.

Risk and Return for Regulated Industries provides a much-needed, comprehensive review of how cost of capital risk arises and can be measured, how the special risks regulated industries face affect fair return, and the challenges that regulated industries are likely to face in the future. Rather than following the trend of broad industry introductions or textbook style reviews of utility finance, it covers the topics of most interest to regulators, regulated companies, regulatory lawyers, and rate-of-return analysts in all countries. Accordingly, the book also includes case studies about various countries and discussions of the lessons international regulatory procedures can offer. Presents a unified treatment of the regulatory principles and practices used to assess the required return on capital Addresses current practices before exploring the ways methods play out in practice, including irregularities, shortcomings, and concerns for the future Focuses on developed economies instead of providing a comprehensive global reviews Foreword by Stewart C.

"Este é o melhor livro sobre meditação para os não iniciados, os céticos e os curiosos. Parte confessional, parte investigação jornalística, 10% mais feliz é 100% viciante." — Daniel Goleman, autor de Inteligência emocional e Foco Dan Harris era um jornalista promissor, que construía com garra sua carreira de apresentador na rede de televisão americana ABC News. Mas a obsessão pelo trabalho, a autocrítica exagerada e a extrema competitividade o levaram a um ponto sem volta: o dia em que teve um ataque de pânico ao vivo, na frente de milhões de telespectadores. A partir dali, ficou claro que algo precisava mudar – e ele acabou embarcando numa inesperada odisseia através do mundo da espiritualidade. Apesar de declaradamente agnóstico, Dan precisou admitir que ficara intrigado com aquele universo. Com certa relutância, ele descobriu que a fonte de seus problemas era justamente aquilo que considerava seu maior aliado: a voz incessante dentro de sua cabeça, que o impelia sempre a querer mais, fazer mais, se esforçar mais. Todos nós temos essa voz. É ela que nos faz ter preocupações excessivas, julgar os outros, ruminar o passado e temer o futuro. É ela que nos torna tensos, ansiosos, irritados e frustrados. Assim como a maioria das pessoas, Dan acreditava que era impossível controlar essa voz. Mas ele encontrou na meditação uma maneira eficaz de acalmar seus pensamentos, equilibrar suas emoções e se tornar uma pessoa melhor – sem perder a energia para lutar por aquilo que deseja. Fugindo de clichês e sentimentalismos, ele divide com o leitor suas dúvidas, desconfianças e descobertas, narrando de forma hilária os inusitados passos dessa jornada: de entrevistas duras com Eckhart Tolle, Dalai Lama e Deepak Chopra até um retiro de dez dias que fez ruir sua resistência.
