10% Happier with Dan Harris

Second book was called Barking to the Choir and that was a homey who was one of our bakers who was kind of coloring outside the line so I had to have the talk with him and as I was having the talk about his attitude he stopped me says relax you're Barking to the Choir which I loved and I remember I wrote down I said title of my next book

He's out with a new book called Reunion Leadership and the Longing to Belong.

Jerry's new book is all about adding a new and broader question on top of that already pretty tough and touchy one.

Congratulations on your new book.

You know, book is always a labor and this was really a labor of love.

So there's one section and I wish I could quote it exactly but this is a paraphrase. He said when you're climbing a mountain, you have to be looking at your step right in front of you or you're going to trip over rocks or obstacles. So you have to pay attention to what's right in front of you because the last step depends on the first.

But then he said but you also want to have a vision of the top or an understanding of the destination because that's what inspires you to take the next step.

Years later back in the States and teaching for quite a while, I came across a book. The title of the book was The Nothing that Is. And it turns out it was a book about the history of the number zero.

It said you look at zero and you see nothing. Look through it and you see the world.

She's also the co-author of a book called Happy Money, the Science of Happier Spending with Dr. Michael Norton as her co-author there.

I invite you to check out my book Happy Money co-authored with Mike Norton at Harvard Business School

one of them is investing in others this might be a good segway to that book

He by the way is the guy who wrote Stumbling Upon Happiness is a big deal.

He's making the case for a kind of messy and also self interested version of sainthood. The self interest has at least two levels. This kind of sainthood will actually make you happier and it will also in the view of my guest improve the world.

This time he came on though just to specifically discuss his new book which is called The New Saints.

And when I say divine or sacred, I'm not just talking about God or emptiness or something but I'm talking about tuning into something that's about trying to be of help and trying to be of benefit so that selflessness you know that isn't about pushing aside the sense of what we need but actually putting our needs alongside the needs of others and figuring out how to get everyone's needs met.

I'm really interested in you understanding that it's our humaneness right our emotions our sensations everything that comes up for us we're trying to develop a really spacious fluid relationship to everything that arises for us I'm not trying to control the thing I'm trying to offer space to the thing so I can transform my relationship to it.

Absolutely so The New Saints from broken hearts to spiritual warriors and you can visit my website lama rod dot com for many other resources and you can follow me on social media Instagram link down and so forth for more resources as well.

The Salt Eaters are novel by Tony Cade Bambara hopefully I'm pronouncing that correctly centers around two women named Velma Henry and Minnie Ransom Velma's a long time activist but has recently succumbed to the years of stress accumulated between her activism marriage and job and has been hospitalized for attempting to take her own life. Minnie is probably the most gifted healer in the community and is called to the hospital to heal Velma however Velma seems to be resisting she wants no part of it.

I choose to get others well and free this has been the only choice for me in this life with the help of the saints both old and new I keep moving on yeah.
