10% Happier

How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-help That Actually Works--a True Story

Take two parts Memoir and mix well with one part Self Help and you get "10% Happier" by Dan Harris. The book takes you on a journey of a young man scraping his way through the cutthroat career ladder that is network television newscasting. Along the way Harris finds that the never ending voice in his head is real, valid, and a jerk. Slowly through several steps, he finds that meditation is the key to quieting the inner voice that so often gets in the way. The memoir portion of this book is interesting, but ultimately unsatisfying. I came to this book for realistic and practical advice on meditation. What I got was a story about a man learning how to meditate. I think the book is well written and narrated, just didn't hit the marks that I was looking for.
