Dan Harris

Harris had a panic attack live on Good Morning America in front of several million viewers, which turned out to be connected to the drugs he had been using after covering the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. 10% Happier is the account of a sceptical news anchor going looking for something that worked and finding meditation, with a title chosen as a deliberately modest claim. Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics is the practical follow-up, written with Jeff Warren from a bus tour across America. He left television for the app and the podcast the book produced.
