Dan HarrisEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

Welcome to Untangle throwback Thursday, This interview with Dan Harris was recorded 10 years ago, one of our first. But it’s pure Dan…big heart and funny sense of humor. And humility. Dan Harris was then an ABC News Anchor and the author of the books "10% Happier" and "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics." He’s funny and honest, and shares how meditation has helped him handle conflict and everyday annoyances with those who matter most in his life. I think he's taught most of us more about meditation and anxiety than almost anyone. He discusses tools for learning meditation--especially for those who say they can’t sit still (like most of us.) Now, here’s one of our first episodes and with Dan Harris. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .

Click to receive 10% off your first month with your own licensed professional therapist: betterhelp.com/heartwisdom "The point of meditation practice isn't to withdraw from the world or become a monastic, but it's the possibility to live and take the activities of our life and bring them alive through loving kindness, compassion, and care for yourself and others. People sometimes think if I'm supposed to serve, I have to take care of everybody else, but the circle of compassion is only complete when it also includes yourself." – Jack Kornfield In this episode, Jack, Yung Pueblo, and Dan Harris dive into: Jack and Yung Pueblo's connection to create Wisdom Ventures to bring compassion and right livelihood to business How the circle of compassion is only complete when you also include yourself Ram Dass' vulnerability, and how having a sense of humor about one's own predicament and being amused at our neurotic humanness is actually what truly liberates us Meditation as an act of care and listening which allows intuition and understanding The importance of community and why meditating in groups holds a different and usually higher resonance than meditating alone Skillful ways to handle conflict and difficult situations How to love family, partners, and friends openhandedly rather than with attachment and grasping "Meditation is not a grim duty, it's meant to be an act of care. And we live in a culture that's forgotten how we can take care of ourself. And one part of that care, even though at first it feels unfamiliar, is just to be quiet for a little bit and listen. Then there are things in us that we know—intuitions and understandings that come for how to navigate our life from what really matters." – Jack Kornfield This conversation originally aired on the Ten Percent Happier Podcast with Dan Harris.

Dan Harris, ABC News Journalist, Nightline Anchor, co-anchor for Good Morning America, New York Times #1 Bestselling author of 10% Happier and co-founder of the 10% Happier Meditation App shares his story of coming from a high achieving family, but still missing something - one day his eyes opened up to a whole new world on a trip to Europe where he saw the Hotel Regina in Paris for the first time - a place that represented beauty, success and excellence. Dan has been voraciously pursuing his own version of Hotel Regina, an allegory for success - a desire for achievement that has brought him from almost becoming a Hollywood music video producer to a household name across America as a news anchor, bestselling author of 10% Happier and co-founder of the 10% Happier meditation movement. In Dan’s words, when he wrote the book he “…did not perceive that 10% Happier was going to be so f*cking successful that it would take over his life…” Dan shares how he overcame toxic behaviors in the corporate world and what he does today to maintain a sense of balance. Truly humble and self-aware today, Dan’s personality shines as Jake Dunlap uncovers things you never knew about Dan Harris and the voracious hunger for success that lives inside of the world's most successful people. About Dan Dan Harris is a co-anchor the weekend edition of Good Morning America on ABC News, as well as a correspondent for such broadcasts as Nightline and World News Tonight. He is also the author of 10% Happier , a #1 New York Times best-selling book about a fidgety, skeptical news anchor who stumbles upon meditation. Recently, Harris launched an app specifically designed to teach meditation to doubters and busy people. This ancient practice – too long associated exclusively with hippies and robed gurus – has been shown by modern science to boost resilience, focus, creativity, emotional intelligence, and overall mental and physical health. With meditation and mindfulness now being embraced by executives, athletes, educators and entertainers, Harris has become a leading voice for pushing for the practice into the mainstream, using plain English and dry humor. He has spoken in front of a variety of audiences—corporations, health and wellness organizations, and schools and universities.
