Dan Harris’s new book is titled 10% Happier. That’s it. It’s not a grand promise, but it is an honest one: Meditation won’t solve all your problems but it will make you about 10% happier. At least that’s what Harris found in his own experience. As an ABC news correspondent, Harris came at meditation as a skeptic. In comic honesty, the book details Harris’s petty behind the scenes struggles to make it in the network news business. After success as a war correspondent, Harris found himself stateside chasing the high and battling depression by abusing cocaine. A panic attack on air led Harris to the psychiatrist’s office where he was able to face facts and stop using drugs.
