Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris

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.

From Ted Talks Daily: The Benefits Of Not Being A Jerk To Yourself

We're introducing you to the [Ted Talks Daily] (https://www.ted.com/podcasts) podcast, with an episode featuring our own Dan Harris. Here's his TED Talk, "The Benefits Of Not Being A Jerk To Yourself." After over two decades as an anchor for ABC News, an on-air panic attack sent Dan Harris's life in a new direction: he became a dedicated meditator and, to some, even a guru. But then an anonymous survey of his family, friends and colleagues turned up some brutal feedback -- he was still kind of a jerk. In a wise, funny talk, he shares his years-long quest to improve his relationships with everyone (starting with himself) and explains the science behind loving-kindness meditation, and how it can boost your resiliency, quiet your inner critic and simply make you more pleasant to be around.

Abby Wambach On: Grief, Addiction, And Moving From External To Internal Validation

Plus her definition of the oft-dismissed yet game-changing notion of self-love. We caught up with Abby Wambach at a really interesting time. She’s experiencing grief, for reasons we’ll let her explain. And for the first time in her life, she’s grieving while sober—which, in itself, is an interesting story, which she will also tell. As you know, we only talk to famous people on this show if they’re willing to really go deep. And it’s why we call this recurring series Boldface. And Abby is bolder than most. We also talk about: moving from external to internal validation, her definition of self-love (a concept in which Dan have a lot of interest, because it’s both cheesy and life-changing), the one question that changed her life, how every experience can turn into something positive, and on a related note, why getting arrested for drunk driving was one of the best things that ever happened to her. Abby Wambach is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, FIFA World Cup Champion, and six-time winner of the U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year award. She is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller [Wolfpack] (https://bookshop.org/p/books/wolfpack-how-to-come-together-unleash-our-power-and-change-the-game-abby-wambach/9882336?ean=9781250217707) .

She has written a sleeper hit book on the subject called, [Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal from Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents] (https://www.newharbinger.com/9781626251700/) .

Can You Get Fit Without Self-Loathing? | Cara Lai

Practical tips to stop judging yourself, chill out about exercise, and start taking better care of your body – from a Buddhist teacher who learned the hard way. Description: It’s an urgent question for so many of us: Can we exercise, can we take care of our bodies, without being driven by shame, self-loathing, or noxious comparison to other people? Our guest today has a unique perspective on this. Cara Lai is a former social worker and psychotherapist who is now a Buddhist teacher. She also used to be a marathoner. But in the last few years, her body has undergone some radical changes, leading her to some hard-won, fascinating, and deeply useful insights about how to strike the balance between taking care of your body and staying sane. In this episode we talk about: ---Practices for that moment when you’re getting out of the shower, see yourself in the mirror, and engage in a festival of self-judgment ---The surprising things that happened when Cara was forced to stop exercising ---A counterintuitive mindfulness practice suggestion for those with exercise routines ---When and why you should purposely do things you know are bad for you ---Why we often resist ‘being in our bodies,’ why that’s OK, and how to lower the bar on this contemplative cliché–without giving it up ---A body-related Buddhist practice she finds to be totally not useful Full Shownotes: [https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/cara-lai-787] (https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/cara-lai-612) Other Resources Mentioned: [The Upside of Desire | Cara Lai] (https://tenpercent-happier.webflow.io/tph/podcast-episode/cara-lai-265) [The Anti-Diet | Evelyn Tribole] (https://tenpercent-happier.webflow.io/tph/podcast-episode/evelyn-tribole-repost) 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) . ...

Weighing The Extraordinary Benefits And Disturbing Risks Of The New Weight Loss Drugs | Johann Hari

On this show, we talk a lot about ways to stop the interpersonal and intrapersonal violence of obsessing about thinness. Today’s episode, though, is a bit of a departure… because this whole dynamic and debate has been deeply disrupted by the advent of Ozempic and other new weight loss drugs, which are technically called GLP1s. This is a controversial and touchy subject, to say the least. Journalist and best-selling author [Johann Hari] (https://johannhari.com/) discusses his latest book [Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight-Loss Drugs] (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/743989/magic-pill-by-johann-hari/) . He believes drugs like Ozempic are the equivalent of the invention of the iPhone – and will impact all of our lives, whether we like it or not, and whether we take them or not. And in Magic Pill, Hari – who somewhat ambivalently takes Ozempic himself – marinates in the complexity of all of this. This is Hari’s third time on the show. He has come on before to discuss his books on distraction and depression—entitled [Stolen Focus] (https://stolenfocusbook.com/buy-the-book/) and [Lost Connections] (https://thelostconnections.com/buy-the-book/) . This is the latest episode of our [Get Fit Sanely] (https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-playlists/get-fit-sanely) series. This is the third time we’ve done Get Fit Sanely, and in this go-round, we’ll be covering longevity, exercise, and the Buddhist case for laziness.
