  Ten Percent Happier  

Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, 10% Happier. On this show, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity. Guests include everyone from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. On some episodes, Dan ventures into the deep end of the pool, covering subjects such as enlightenment and psychedelics. On other episodes, it’s science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. Dan's approach is seemingly modest, but secretly radical: happiness is a skill you can train, just like working your bicep in the gym. Your progress may be incremental at first, but like any good investment, it compounds over time. New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free. Listen 1-week early and to all episodes ad-free with Wondery+ or Amazon Music with a Prime membership or Amazon Music Unlimited subscription.

A Very Simple, Very Effective Meditation | Bonus Meditation with Cara Lai

Cara introduces you to the magic of doing less. These gentle no-frills instructions get right to the heart of meditation practice. About Cara Lai: Cara Lai spent most of her life trying to figure out how to be happy, or at least avoid total misery, which landed her on a meditation cushion for the majority of her adulthood. Throughout many consciousness adventures including a few mind-bendingly long meditation retreats, she has explored the wilderness of the mind, chronic illness, the importance of pleasure, and a wide range of other things that she might get in trouble for mentioning publicly. In the past, Cara has worked as an artist, wilderness guide, social worker and psychotherapist, but at this point she’s given up on being an adult in exchange for an all-out mindfulness rampage. Her teaching is relatable, authentic, funny and sometimes crass, and is accessible for many people. She teaches teens and adults at Inward Bound Mindfulness Education, Spirit Rock, Insight Meditation Society, and UCLA; ultimately hoping to become as good of a show-off as Dan. And to help people be happier. To find this meditation in the [Ten Percent Happier app] (https://app.tenpercent.com/start/register?plan=com.10percenthappier.subscription_1year_9999.intro_7day_free&_ga=2.259044099.881493428.1712239396-1285715635.1711054030) , you can search for “Put It All Down.” See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...

How Thinking About Death Can Improve Your Life | Alua Arthur

Death isn’t the most appetizing topic, but contemplating mortality can be a massive source of motivation, perspective, and even stress relief. In this episode, life lessons from a death doula, who helps people at the end. Description: There seems to be one clear bug in the human operating system — most of us do not like talking about death. Yet when we do talk about it, it can genuinely upgrade the quality of our lives. Our guest today is Alua Arthur, a former attorney who is now what’s called a death doula, which is someone who helps guide people through the end of their lives. Through this work, she has learned some extraordinary stuff about how to live life right now. Alua is also the founder of [Going with Grace] (https://goingwithgrace.com/) , a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization. Her debut memoir, [Briefly Perfectly Human: Making An Authentic Life By Getting Real About the End] (https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/alua-arthur) , will be released on April 16, 2024. This conversation took place at the 2023 TED Conference in Vancouver, immediately after Alua delivered her triumphant talk, which is out now. Special thanks to the TED Audio Collective. You can listen to Alua's talk and other TED talks on the TED Talks Daily podcast. In this episode we talk about: ---How death can be a powerful motivator ---How consistently being aware that you’re going to die can be a “stress reliever” ---The utility of imagining your ideal death ---Her view on reincarnation ---How the concept of “healing” can sometimes be used as a weapon against ourselves ---The importance of not leaving things unsaid ---How “hope” at the end of life can sometimes be unhelpful ---What surprises her about death ---How her work helped her out of her depression ---The five steps that you should take when confronting your own death ---The harm that can sometimes result from too much medical intervention toward the end of life ---The often fraught relationship that vulnerable and marginalized people can have with the medical community ---The benefits of thinking about what version of yourself you want to meet on your deathbed ---The death meditation that she uses when working with people ---What to say and do when you are with somebody who is grieving ---And a practice she calls, “The dying things exercise” Full Shownotes: [https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/Alua-Arthur-archive] (https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/Alua-Arthur-619) Where to find Alua Arthur online: Website: [goingwithgrace.com] (https://goingwithgrace.com/) Social Media: --- [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/goinggracefully) --- [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/goingwgrace) --- [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/going_with_grace/) --- [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVjHD7_XAXc2RWVND0RUTnw) Book Mentioned: --- [Briefly Perfectly Human: Making An Authentic Life by Getting Real About the End] (https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/alua-arthur) Other Resources Mentioned: --- [Link to Alua’s TED talk] (https://www.ted.com/talks/alua_arthur_why_thinking_about_death_helps_you_live_a_better_life?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare) --- [Link to Dan’s TED talk] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NuhIzO57HVk) --- [Gail Ruben] (https://agoodgoodbye.com/about-gail/) --- [Glennon Doyle] (https://momastery.com/blog/about-glennon/) --- [Atīśa Dīpaṃkara Śrījñāna] (https://www.shambhala.com/atisha-a-guide-for-readers/) --- [Roshi Joan Halifax] (https://www.upaya.org/person/roshi-joan-halifax-phd/) --- [Larry Rosenberg] (https://dharmaseed.org/teacher/106/) Additional Resources: ---Download the Ten Percent Happier app today: [https://10percenthappier.app.link/install] (https://10percenthappier.app.link/install) See Privacy Policy at [https://art19.com/privacy] (https://art19.com/privacy) and California Privacy Notice at [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info] (https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info) . ...

Myths Of Love, Sex, Dating, And Relationships | Myisha Battle

How our false expectations and misunderstandings about relationships can create an incalculable amount of suffering — and the many problems of the "You complete me" model. Description: This episode was part one of our four-part series where we’re counter-programming against the way Valentine’s Day is often celebrated, and examining different kinds of relationships including romantic, friendship, and family. Today’s guest hews a bit more closely to the traditional Valentine’s Day theme and will do some myth-busting around all the things we tend to get wrong when we talk about romantic relationships.

Modern Life Is Making You Sick, But It Doesn’t Have To | Dr. Gabor Maté

Hidden sources of stress — and how to beat them. Also: the myth of normal, the necessity of being disillusioned, and the disutility of comparing your suffering. Description: There’s so much to be grateful for in modern medicine. We can all agree that we would not do as well in a world with no Advil or dentistry. And yet, our guest today, who is a renowned doctor, says modern medicine is overlooking something crucial: the pernicious impact that modern living has on our minds and bodies. In other words, we are surrounded by these hidden societal and structural sources of stress and we aren’t thinking about how to treat and prevent these factors that are degrading our happiness and our immune systems. Dr. Gabor Maté is a bestselling author with an expertise on everything from stress to addiction to ADHD. His latest book is called, [The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture] (https://drgabormate.com/book/the-myth-of-normal/) Content Warning: This episode has mentions of child abuse, sexual trauma, suicide and addiction In this episode we talk about: ---What he means by “the myth of normal” ---How diseases, such as autoimmune conditions, are an “artifact of civilization” ---How to begin to tackle what Dr. Maté calls, “the social sources of illness” ---His definition of trauma and the difference between “big T traumatic events” and the trauma of “wounding” ---How trauma in society is so normalized that we don’t even recognize it ---Whether the term trauma is overused ---Why comparing suffering is a fruitless endeavor ---What he means by “the necessity to be disillusioned” ---The power and possibility of psychedelics ---Why he thinks we should incorporate shamanic medicine into our western medical framework ---And what he means by “undoing self-limiting beliefs” and how these beliefs show up in our everyday lives Full Shownotes: [https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/gabor-mate-archive] (https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/gabor-mate-586) Where to find Gabor Maté online: Website: [drgabormate.com] (https://drgabormate.com/) Social Media: --- [Twitter] (https://twitter.com/drgabormate) --- [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/drgabormate) --- [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/gabormatemd/) --- [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsRF06lSFA8zV9L8_x9jzIA) Books Mentioned: --- [The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture] (https://drgabormate.com/book/the-myth-of-normal/) --- [When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease Connection] (https://drgabormate.com/book/when-the-body-says-no/) --- [Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder] (https://drgabormate.com/book/scattered-minds/) --- [In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction] (https://drgabormate.com/book/in-the-realm-of-hungry-ghosts/) --- [Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers] (https://drgabormate.com/book/hold-on-to-your-kids/) Other Resources Mentioned: --- [The Wisdom of Trauma] (https://thewisdomoftrauma.com/) --- [Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Is Associated with Increased Risk of Ovarian Cancer: A Prospective and Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort Study] (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31488422/#:~:text=Women%20with%20high%20PTSD%20symptoms,)%2C%201.12%2D3.95%5D.) --- [Decrease in depression symptoms is associated with longer survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer: a secondary analysis] (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21149651/) --- [Marital Status, Marital Strain, and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease or Total Mortality: The Framingham Offspring Study] (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/6203030_Marital_Status_Marital_Strain_and_Risk_of_Coronary_Heart_Disease_or_Total_Mortality_The_Framingham_Offspring_Study) --- [George Engel] (https://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/doi/pdf/10.1176/appi.ajp.162.11.2039) --- [How spanking may affect brain development in children] (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2021/04/spanking-children-may-impair-their-brain-development/) --- [The Trauma of Everyday Life by Dr. Mark Epstein] (http://markepsteinmd.com/?p=56) --- [IntraConnected: MWe (Me + We) as the Integration of Self, Identity, and Belonging by Dr. Dan Siegel] (https://drdansiegel.com/book/intraconnected-mwe-me-we-as-the-integration-of-self-identity-and-belonging/) --- [A.

Here's What I Learned From Writing A Whole Book About Meditation | Dan Harris

The tables have turned: Dan is interviewed by two of his producers. This is the kickoff episode of our upcoming series celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dan’s book, where two of Dan’s producers, DJ Cashmere and Lauren Smith, interview him. We talk about the story behind the book, what it was like to have a panic attack on national television, why Dan decided to admit it publicly, how the success of the book utterly transformed his life, and what he learned… Both while writing the book and subsequently. We talk about concepts such as “Respond, not react,” why our faults aren’t our fault (but they are our responsibility), and whether we all have the capacity to change. DJ and Lauren will even weigh in on how they think Dan’s doing on the score.
