After ABC News anchor&nbsp;Dan Harris&nbsp;(<a href="https://twitter.com/danbharris/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@danbharris</a>) had a&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/_qo4uPxhUzU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nationally televised panic attack</a>&nbsp;on&nbsp;Good Morning America&nbsp;in 2004, he knew he had to make some changes. He found himself on a bizarre adventure to rein in the voice in his head that provoked his on-air freak-out and found a solution in meditation. A lifelong nonbeliever, meditation was something Dan always assumed to be either impossible or useless.In 2014, Dan published the book&nbsp;<a href="https://www.amazon.com/10-Happier-Revised-Self-Help-Works/dp/0062917609/?tag=offsitoftimfe-20" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">10% Happier</a>, which takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.
