Get better at feeling good. Meditation & mindfulness from the world’s best teachers.

After having a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris stumbled upon something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. In 2014, he published the book “10% Happier”, a surprise #1 New York Times bestseller, which led to the 10% Happier podcast and an app that teaches fidgety skeptics how to meditate.
