10% Happier with Dan Harris

I had a guest on the show this time last year...Evelyn Trible was one of the co-creators of intuitive eating...And we actually just reposted the episode a few weeks ago if anybody wants to go back and listen to it.

And genuinely meeting her changed my life....It has genuinely changed my life in terms of how I eat and one of her little mantras...And again, I can feel my whole body posture changing as I say this because I feel so cheesy saying it but it is like what is the kind thing to do for your body right now?

It's just listen to your body as you eat.

She's recently launched a podcast of her own called Let's Talk Off Camera and she put out her first book last year called Live Wire, Long Winded Short Stories. It's a collection of essays.

They've written a book called How to Hug a Porcupine. I don't know if you read that one but it's basically about 11 year old children.

His books are Inward, Clarity & Connection, Lighter, and The Way Forward.

there's a little book called The Art of Dying that was written by I have a pastor and a teacher in the Glanko tradition and it's a set of these tremendously beautiful stories of all these people who are on the verge of passing away and what their death was like and being able to hear of all of these stories of essentially of peace and of awareness of being able to accept the truth of passing away

there was an interview that my dear friend Wes Scoop-Nisker a radio journalist for years who died this week had with Gary Snider one of our greatest environmentalists and poets Pulitzer prize in the decades ago for Earth House Hold talking to Gary not that long ago

For example, if he lived according to the rules of the Bible for a year, he spent a year engaging in an insane fitness routine, things like that.

I did a book called The Year of Living Biblically where I followed all the rules in the Bible the famous ones like the Ten Commandments but I also had a crazy beard I also stoned adulterers but I use very small stones like pebbles so I didn't I didn't go to jail

another one was the one we were talking about about how acting your way into a new way of thinking so you know part of my goal was in addition to the crazy stuff like stoning adulterers I had to do a sort of moral makeover because the Bible says you shouldn't gossip

Among his books are "The Year of Living Biblically" and "The Know-It-All."

And actually one of my books, the book right before the puzzler was all about trying to figure out ways to solve for the negative... It was called Thanks 1000 and I went around the world thinking a thousand people who had anything to do with my morning cup of coffee.

That's a great puzzle solution of how to get rid of or fight the negative bias is just to list the hundreds of things that go right every day as opposed to the three or four that go wrong.

He's interviewed Benjamin Hardy in an episode about how to Be Your Future Self Now.

Jordan has covered the emotions behind success, mastery and power with Robert Green.

Our teacher, DuJour is Orin J. Sofer who was on the podcast just a few days ago talking about his new book

He's got a new book called Your Heart Was Made for This which lays out 26 qualities, many of them inspired by Buddhism for both navigating and positively impacting a chaotic world...

The book grew out of that and out of my own investigation into, how do we respond? How is our practice relevant?

I wouldn't even call them Buddhist tools. You know while I talk about some of the Buddhist roots of the book, I really see them as universal tools and and humanistic tools is is courage Buddhist is curiosity Buddhist know these are core facets of our humanity...

So the title Your Heart Was Made for This it's a little bit of a play on words in some ways one of the things that I feel and hear from a lot of other people is when the world appears in this very dark way of what is the future going to be it feels overwhelming.

The book is called Your Heart Was Made for This contemplative practices to meet a world in crisis with courage integrity and love...

David is just out with a new book called Thriving with Anxiety, Nine Tools to Make Your Anxiety Work for You.

I'm sure you're familiar with the work of Barbara Friedrichson who's been on this show.

She wrote a book called Love 2.0 and I'm stealing a lot of her ideas and a lot of my work which is to create a sort of a broader more, if I use the fancy word, capacious understanding of what love is

And Barbara Friedrichson's work is beautiful and she talked about an upward spiral which is what we're talking about here the micro moments build and we have more access to this regulating ventral energy

The book that Joseph recommended to me and that I ended up really enjoying is called Tattoos on the Heart, but Father Boyle's latest book is called The Whole Language.

But Father Boyle's latest book is called The Whole Language.

The subtitle is the power of extravagant tenderness--so that's the thing we want to be fluent in and we want to be just anchored in loving kindness knowing that kindness is the only non-delusional response to everything.
