Well researched, practical, and crammed with expert advice, it’s also an irreverent, hilarious page-turner.” —Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project “The ABC News anchor, a ‘defender of worrying’ who once had an anxiety attack on air, offers a hilarious and stirring account of his two-steps-forward-one-step-back campaign to sort ‘useless rumination’ from ‘constructive anguish’ via mindfulness, along with invaluable suggestions for following in his footsteps.” — The Oprah Magazine

In celebration of its 10th anniversary, a revised and updated edition of the award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller that changed the way we look at meditation, expanded with new material by Dan Harris. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America , Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest the incessant, insatiable voice in his head. We all have an inner narrator. It’s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we’re not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us assume we’re stuck with this voice—that there’s nothing we can do to rein it in—but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. 10% Happier is now considered a classic text on the power of meditation, an introduction to the practice that can convert even the most hardened skeptic. With over a million copies sold, 10% Happier is the go-to guide, and with meditation now a widely accepted and encouraged practice, Dan Harris is a pivotal and approachable figure in the field who has built a thriving platform based on the ideas he first presented in this book. In this 10th Anniversary Edition, Harris offers a new preface reflecting on how much has changed—for him and for the public perceptions of meditation, plus a revised and expanded appendix, filled with guided meditations and practical advice for people looking to boot up a habit.

Like many other skeptics, news anchor Dan Harris thought meditation was reserved for people who collect crystals and have impossible diets. One day changed all that when he suffered a panic attack on national television for several million people to witness. Since then, he discovered that meditation can help mitigate depression and anxiety, control blood pressure, and improve overall wellbeing. In this work, Harris and meditation teacher Jeff Warden embark on a journey to explore the myths, misunderstandings, and self-deceptions that keep people from meditation. With a mixture of testimonies and practical exercises, clear and applicable to all kinds of daily routines, Meditación para escépticos inquietos demonstrates that it is possible to change our lives without radically transforming our habits. Como muchos otros escépticos inquietos, el presentador de noticias Dan Harris creía que la meditación estaba reservada a personas que coleccionan cristales, llevan dietas imposibles de explicar y usan la palabra namasté sin ironía. Pero un día sufrió un ataque de pánico al aire, en un programa en vivo que vieron varios millones de personas. Desde entonces, descubrió que la meditación puede ayudar a mitigar la depresión y la ansiedad, controlar la presión arterial y mejorar el bienestar general. ¿Por qué, entonces, no la practicamos todos?
عندما يوقظك المنبه في الصباح لتنهض إلى العمل أو المدرسة، بماذا تفكر؟ ربما تقول لنفسك: "بإمكاني النوم لعشر دقائق أخرى"، أو تسأل نفسك: "هل لديّ عذر جيد للتغيب عن العمل؟". لا بد أنك تسمع صوتًا مثل هذا في رأسك طوال اليوم، ليخبرك بما عليك القيام به أو تجنّبه أو غير ذلك. ويسمّى هذا الصوت "الأنا"، وهو يعبِّر عن ذهنك وعن طريقة تفكيرك ووعيك بذاتك. وإذا أردتَ أن تصبح شخصًا أكثر سعادة في الحياة، فإنك بحاجة لأن تتعرَّف إلى هذا الصوت وتفهمه أكثر. نشر الكاتب دان هاريس هذا الكتاب في سنة ۲٠۱٤، وفاز بجائزة للمذكِّرات الملهمة، وحقق شهرة هائلة بحيث إنه شغل المرتبة الأولى على قائمة مجلة New York Times لأكثر الكتب مبيعًا.
كيف تروِّض "الأنا" وتقودُ زِمامَ أمورِ حياتك؟يُسبِرُ كتابُ "عشرةٌ بالمائةِ أكثرُ سعادة" أغوارَ فنِ التأمل، ويأخُذُكَ في رحلةٍ خاصةٍ لتتعرَّفَ عن كَثَبٍ على ذلكَ المفهوم، الذي قد يُغيِّرُ حياتَك.إنَّ للتأملِ فوائدَ عديدة، فقد أثبتَ العلمُ الحديثُ التأثيرَ الإيجابيَّ له على البدنِ والعقل.لمن هذا الكتاب ؟لكلِّ من يجاهدُ ضغوطَ الحياةِ ويحاولُ التحرُّرَ من التوتر.لمن يشعرُ بالرضا عن حياتِهِ ولكنَّهُ يرغبُ في المزيدِ من السعادة. لكلِّ من يشكِّكُ في جدوى التأملِ أو من يريدُ معرفةَ المزيدِ عن ماهيةِ التأمل.
