10% Happier with Dan Harris
The book was described as a companion/follow-on to 'Ten Percent Happier,' intended to help people adopt meditation as an abiding habit by addressing common obstacles. The writing process was intensely stressful and faced a very tight deadline, nearly breaking the co-authors.
Their new book on their journey, written with Carlye Adler, is called "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book," which is on sale Dec. 26 and available for pre-order now.
