Bill Hader on Ten Percent Happier Podcast

Starting a Metta Practice

This is a new concept to me, and I discovered it listening to this episode of the Ten Percent Happier podcast. What made it compelling to me, was when the guest Devin Berry shared that he felt difficult to be around, angry, and easily offended. He also describes himself as sarcastic and skeptical, and that fact that all of those descriptors sadly resonated with me and how badly I didn’t want them…

My #1 podcast episode recommendation to everyone but especially chronically ill people

[noneofthisisreal]

i hope this helps people and i certainly don't want to yuck yums but imagining folks who think of their lives like an investment portfolio that they need to balance is such a dark vision of the world to me

anti hustle pro rest sounds great but "the portfolio life", yikes!

Your Worth is separate from your Work. You deserve to be Healthy and Happy. Your Relationships, Growth, Rest, and Joy are Not Optional.

If you understand pain as a part of life, you are less likely to suffer

Surprising Happiness Lessons Dan Harris Got From the Dalai Lama#Surprising #Happiness #Lessons #Dan #Harris #Dalai #Lama

Former ABC News anchor Dan Harris turned a panic attack on national TV into a learning and teaching experience about how minds and mindfulness work. The explorations it kicked off inspired his book, podcast, and meditation app called Ten Percent Happier. Most recently, his deep dive into all of it led him to India to meet with the Dalai Lama himself to develop The Dalai Lama’s Guide to Happiness.…

Ten Percent Happier Partners With Dalai Lama on Meditation Training

Several studies on the effectiveness of antidepressants came to a similar conclusion that, no doubt, upset the pharmaceutical industry. Antidepressants were no more effective — and sometimes less so — at treating anxiety and depression than meditation and mindfulness.

Suddenly, meditation and mindfulness were legitimate tools in the treatment of anxiety and depression.

That’s why on January 9th, Ten Percent Happier and The Dalai Lama are launching The Dalai Lama’s Guide to Happiness, a free 10-day meditation challenge featuring practices that have been cultivated and refined for thousands of years, and are now being proven by science.

With wisdom and guidance from both The Dalai Lama and Ten Percent Happier founder + Mindfulness Expert Dan Harris, The Dalai Lama’s Guide to Happiness confronts the question: if the purpose of life is to be happy, how do we go about achieving that? Over the course of 10 daily lessons, Dan + His Holiness employ a suite of meditation skills that will help listeners achieve happiness that goes beyond individual pleasure-seeking to include collective well-being, joy, and meaning.

The 14th Dalai Lama (spiritual name Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso), known as Gyalwa Rinpoche to the Tibetan people, is the current Dalai Lama. He is the highest spiritual leader and former head of the country of Tibet. He is also the leader and a monk of the Gelug school, the newest school of Tibetan Buddhism, formally headed by the Ganden Tripa.

This project is a true collaboration, with Jade Weston, a Ten Percent Happier Meditation Teacher, being heavily involved in developing the lesson content.

If you don’t know, Ten Percent Happier is more than just a podcast or business to founder Dan Harris.

Harris has assembled an impressive career at ABC. He joined ABC News in 2000. He anchored World News Sunday from 2006 to 2011 and frequently anchored World News, ABC World News Tonight weekend editions and Nightline. In August 2021, Harris announced that he would be leaving ABC News to focus on his meditation company, which is Ten Percent Happier.

After having a nationally televised panic attack, 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 asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business, but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.

Eventually Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain.

Harris’s epiphany was the catalyst to his founding of Ten Percent Happier — the podcast, the app, and the meditation training.

Listeners can join the Dalai Lama meditation challenge here.

For skeptics, Harris may be hawking lifestyle habits for a price. Or, he may be advocating for tools that can help all of us cope more effectively with life. I think that the fact that Harris made drastic and wholesale changes to his life leads me, and possibly you, to the latter conclusion.

Okay, now I’m actually mad. In fact, I might just give up listening to podcasts altogether.

I was listening to Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris when all of a sudden I got a message that said something like “This episode has been removed by Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris.”

I’ve lost episodes before, but never while I was listening to them. Now there’s only 22 episodes in the show’s…

Oliver the Cat is a meditation expert.

A year and a half ago I stumbled on a book by ABC newsman Dan Harris.  The title is 10% Happier.  I’m not entirely sure Dan would agree, but here is my summary:

Arrogant news reporter loses his mind and becomes a crazy drug addict.  After he hits rock bottom, a counsellor suggests he try meditation.  Dan thinks the idea is even crazier than being a…
