1. 10% Happier Revised Edition: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works–A True Story
Author: by Dan Harris
Published at: Dey Street Books; Anniversary, Reprint edition (April 16, 2019)
ISBN: 978-0062917607
I wrote a memoir about a fidgety, skeptical newsman who reluctantly becomes a meditator to deal with his issues and in the process of publishing it, I occasionally, to my embarrassment, found myself failing to practice what I preach. I was kind of like a dog that soils the rug, and the universe kept shoving my face into it.
In 2014, Dan Harris published his memoir 10% Happier. The bookwhich describes his reluctant embrace of meditation after a drug problem, an on-air freak-out, and an unplanned “spiritual” journeybecame an instant bestseller and Dan, to his own surprise, became a public evangelist for mindfulness.
Hoist on My Own Petard is the story of what happens to Dan Harris after the runaway success of his memoir and the lessons he had to (re)learn in the process.

The societies we live in are increasingly making our minds ill, making it feel as though the way we live is engineered to make us unhappy.

Notes on a Nervous Planet collects his observations, taking a look at how the various social, commercial and technological “advancements” that have created the world we now live in can actually hinder our happiness. Haig examines everything from broader phenomena like inequality, social media, and the news; to things closer to our daily lives, like how we sleep, how we exercise, and even the distinction we draw between our minds and our bodies.
