Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics A 10% Happier How-To Book

ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, 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 embrace a practice he'd long considered ridiculous. 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 book, Harris and his friend Jeff Warren, a meditation teacher, embark on a cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that stop people from meditating.
