Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris

What Anderson learned from losing everyone he loved, what we owe our parents, and how grief shapes all of us--a conversation from the podcast "IMO."
 
On IMO, siblings Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson aim to bring you candid perspectives on the everyday questions shaping our lives, relationships and the world around us. Each week, they're joined by a guest to tackle real questions from real folks just like you offering practical advice, personal storytelling, and plenty of laughs. In this episode, Anderson Cooper shares what he's learned about holding space for grief. The three talk about how they managed (or avoided) the grieving process and how their moms prepared their kids to live without them. Plus Anderson shares his thoughts on the Vanderbilts inspiring an episode of "The Gilded Age."

The Neuroscience of Reducing Chronic Pain and Everyday Addictions | Eric Garland

Plus: How to find practices that work for you, what "mindfulness" actually means, and a new audiobook out now.
 
Sebene Selassie has been meditating for decades, survived cancer three times, and still says the practice isn't a magic bullet. That honesty is kind of the point.
 
Today we're sharing a sneak preview of Dan's new audiobook, Even You Can Meditate, co-authored with Sebene. Think of it as a practical rescue plan for anyone who feels too distracted, overwhelmed, or skeptical to start (or restart) a meditation practice.
 
In this preview, Dan and Seb cover:
 
 • 

Why "mindfulness" is actually a bit of a misnomer — and what the practice is really about
 • 
 • 

What meditation can and can't do for you (it won't solve everything, but the benefits tend to kick in faster than you'd expect)
 • 
 • 

How to find the style that works for your specific brain, body, and life — including if sitting still feels impossible
 • 
 • 

The role of intention, and why getting clear on your "why" can become a surprisingly powerful engine for keeping a practice going
 • 
 • 

The five hindrances — the predictable challenges that come up for almost every meditator — and how to work with them instead of against them
 • 
 
Even You Can Meditate is out now on Audible. Listen now at audible.com/danharris.
 
And mark your calendar: Dan and Seb are running a free five-day meditation challenge March 23–27 on Dan's app, 10% with Dan Harris. Download the app at app.danharris.com.

Harvard Business School Professor on Building Trust, Reducing Regret, and the Underrated Power of Oversharing | Leslie John

If you struggle with the terrifying reality that everything changes, this conversation is for you.
 
Bart van Melik is a meditation teacher, psychotherapist, and our Teacher of the Month for January. In this live session recorded on Zoom with subscribers to the 10% with Dan Harris app, Bart and Dan explore one of Bart's favorite teachings: "Keep calmly knowing change"—four words that supposedly distill all 84,000 of the Buddha's teachings.
 
We talk about:
 
 • 

Why attuning to the flow of things brings peace (even though change is terrifying)—and what the Buddha said on his deathbed about impermanence
 • 
 • 

How to introduce meditation to kids without making it seem difficult or boring 
 • 
 • 

The three dimensions of mindfulness: internal (your own mind), external (noticing other people's breath on the subway), and relational (the field we're all co-creating together)
 • 
 • 

Whether connecting through venting and complaining is harmless or something to examine more closely
 • 
 • 

"Useless speech" (sampappalāpa)—the Pali term for saying stuff that doesn't really matter, and why the urge is often just "look at me"
 • 
 • 

Why Bart is still on this path after all these years: community
 • 
 
Bart closes with a beautiful dedication about coming home to the body and appreciating that we show up in community.
