10% Happier

Self-help for smart people. World-class insights and practices from experts in modern science and ancient wisdom. Hosted by veteran journalist and best-selling author, Dan Harris.

Ten Percent Happier with Dan Harris

Pema Chodron has seemingly been trying to prepare us for this pandemic for years, through a series of popular books, with titles such as When Things Fall Apart, Welcoming the Unwelcome, and The Wisdom of No Escape. But as you will hear, she is anything but gloomy. Like all of the great meditation teachers I've met, she has a lightness and a sense of humor about her. Notwithstanding her chipper demeanor, she has worked hard to point out to her readers and students that groundlessness and uncertainty are fundamental facts of life - which are becoming increasingly salient in our current crisis. Pema Chodron was born Deirdre Blomfield in Connecticut. She lived a conventional life, going to UC Berkeley, becoming a school teacher, and having a pair of kids. But after a rough divorce, she found herself adrift. During this time, she discovered Tibetan Buddhism, shaved her head, and became a nun. Now in her mid-eighties, she lives in rural Nova Scotia, where she is the director of Gampo Abbey. We connected with her on an old-school landline. We talked about how to actually welcome the unwelcome. We also discussed how to: befriend your demons, sympathize without being stupid, lighten up in the face of fear, and embrace chaos as "extremely good news."

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
 

 
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

How your blindspots hurt your decision-making— and how to fix it.
 

 
Anu Gupta is an educator, lawyer, scientist, and the founder and CEO of BE MORE with Anu, an education technology benefit corporation that trains professionals across corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors to advance DEIB and wellness by breaking bias. His work has reached 300+ organizations training more than 80,000 professionals impacting over 30 million lives. Gupta holds a JD from NYU Law, MPhil in Development Studies from Cambridge University, and BA in International Relations and Middle Eastern & Islamic Studies from NYU. As a gay immigrant of color, he came to the work of breaking bias after almost ending his life due to lifelong experiences with racism, homophobia, and Islamophobia. The realization that bias can be unlearned helped lead him out of that dark point and inspired a lifelong mission to build a global movement for social healing based on principles of mindfulness and compassion. A peer-reviewed author, he has written and spoken extensively, including on the TED stage, the Oprah Conversation, Fast Company, Newsweek, and Vogue Business. He is the author of Breaking Bias: Where Stereotypes and Prejudices Come From—and the Science-Backed Method to Unravel Them.
 

 

 

 
In this episode we talk about:
 
 • The 5 causes of bias
 • The dis-utility of shame
 • What has – and hasn’t – been working in DEI trainings
 • Contemplative practices, on and off the cushion, for breaking bias
 • And his response to skeptics

Equanimity: what it is, what it isn’t, and how to get it. 
 
Guest Kamala Masters was one of the teachers at Dan’s first ever meditation retreat. In this episode she dives into how to develop equanimity and shares her story of learning how to practice meditation during her everyday life while raising three children on her own. 
 
Kamala Masters has been meditating since the 1970s, first with Anagarika Munindra, who was Joseph Goldstein’s first teacher, and then with the Burmese master Sayadaw U Pandita with whom she twice temporarily ordained as a Buddhist nun. More recently, she’s been training with another Burmese master we’ve talked about here on the show, Sayadaw U Tejaniya. She is a Guiding Teacher at the Insight Meditation Society, and the co-founder of the Vipassana Metta Foundation, which developed the Maui Dharma Sanctuary.
 
In this conversation we talk about: 
 
 • What is equanimity?
 • The most common misconception about equanimity
 • The near and far enemies of equanimity 
 • The power and limitations of setting intentions

How To Be Less Judgmental (Of Other People – and Yourself) | La Sarmiento

Behind the scenes of this year’s Get Fit Sanely series with ace producers Eleanor Vassili and Marissa Schneiderman. 
 
Today we’re kicking off the third annual iteration of a very popular series we do, called Get Fit Sanely. It’s all about how to take care of your body without losing your mind. This is a dynamic tension many of us struggle to manage.
 
This is our most ambitious version of Get Fit Sanely. We’re dedicating the whole month of June to the topic, with an incredible array of guests, on everything from gut health to importance of rest to how to operationalize the old cliché around listening to your body.
 
In this episode we talk about:
 
 • Selecting guests and topics for this year’s iteration of the series 
 • How our producers let curiosity guide their thinking
 • How this year’s episodes build on what we’ve covered in the past
 • Where our producers’ personal stories come into play 
 • And an exciting new component we’re finally able to offer (hint: it’s guided meditations)
 
Paid subscribers of DanHarris.com will have exclusive access to a set of all-new guided meditations, led by friend of the show Cara Lai, customized to accompany each episode of the Get Fit Sanely series. We're super excited to offer a way to help you put the ideas from the episodes into practice. Learn all about it here.
