This book is more memoir than how-to, and I'm okay with that. As an ABC viewer it was interesting to read stories of people I'd watched on tv for years. The writing style appealed to me - it is intelligent but self deprecating, with an off beat sense of humor. I enjoyed seeing how his journey (sorry for the woo woo word) progressed through stages, from skeptic to cautious interest to serious practitioner and near-believer. It made sense to me, and I recognized myself in many of his descriptions, especially the cacophony of my inner voice and the tendency to default to worst case scenario. I see this book as a stepping stone, an introduction to meditation. Its purpose is not to teach meditation, but to explain its benefits and convince the reader that meditation is worth pursuing. There were several insights that were clearly explained, and I've shared several aha moments from the book with those around me. (To me that's the sign of a good book; to my friends and family it's a bit of an annoyance.) I learned some important things that I've already tried to put to use, but I recognize that I need to study and practice more before applying these ideas can happen smoothly and instinctively. I have high hopes that it can be done - after all, if the guy at the beginning of this book could become the guy at the end, there's a good chance I can make some changes for the better too. One thing to note for kindle readers: the kindle told me I was at the end of the book and popped me to the "review me" screen, but curiosity led me to read through the acknowledgments. I was surprised to find an appendix after the acknowledgments. This is one of the biggest downfalls of ereaders, because with a physical book I would have seen the many pages remaining and investigated. Be sure to read the appendix! It distills the best of the meditation parts of the book into a manageable and encouraging guide. Review: Minus 1 star for language stigmatizing mental illness - Near the middle of this well-written, engaging, useful book, the author is describing persons at a meditation retreat as looking like they are from "the loony bin". It is a funny book, and I know he was going for humor, but.....please. (My mother, who was born in 1923, used this expression. No one should be using it in 2014.) Dan Harris is an intelligent reporter, knowledgeable about so many subjects, and I'm sure he must have an awareness of brain disorders and mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, for which people often need to be hospitalized. If not, he can get info from NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) about their excellent "Stigma Busters" program. (Maybe he could do a story about this for ABC.) As someone who has worked and volunteered in psychiatric hospitals for many years, it saddened me to see this carelessness and implied disrespect for people who, through no fault of their own, are ill. He wouldn't say cancer patients are from "a malignancy bin"!!! Language is powerful; there are many ways to be funny without harm. OK, off my soapbox. It really is a wonderfully informative book and it held my interest from page 1. I loved his personal story, and the honesty with which he moves it forward. He is great at description and anecdotes, and he writes about other people in the news business, and about meditation experts, with candor and just enough restraint. Highly recommended. Mary Lee Moser PS A week or so later--my husband is reading it now, and we have both started to meditate in the mornings, inspired by this book. ## Features - 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-help That Actually Works: A True Story ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #133,285 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #22 in Meditation (Books) #69 in Happiness Self-Help #141 in Memoirs (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 20,736 Reviews | ## Images ![10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YWAijk8DL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining and enlightening *by S***N on October 23, 2015* I picked up the kindle version of this book when it was offered at a super low price, partly because I've been curious about meditation, partly because the idea of increasing my happiness by even 10% was very attractive, but mostly because I'd heard stories of Dan Harris' on-air panic attack and I was curious to learn more.

In a way that only a former war correspondent and Nightline news anchor could, Harris has created a lens to look at the phenomenon of mindfulness with a kind of sharpness that is unparalleled in popular or academic literature on this subject. With wit and humility, Harris openly shares his struggles with anxiety in his life and career in front of a camera. Starting with his on-the-air panic attack in 2004, Harris recounts how his ambition-fueled, perfectionist, non-stop work ethic left him subject to emotional meltdowns that led him to use cocaine to self-medicate. Forced to examine his inner life, he recounts his highs and lows navigating the maze of self-help and professional help to find inner peace without sacrificing his competitive edge. Along the way you are treated to gems of observation the likes of which you'd be hard-pressed to find elsewhere in print, even in someone’s private email, but especially in a book so enthusiastic about mindfulness. Yet it’s Harris’ realism and, undoubtedly, his discipline at finding unique angles to report that makes this book so special. For example, commenting about something many people have probably thought but no one has dared to speak, he says: “Turns out, mindfulness isn’t such a cute look. Everyone is in his or her own world, trying very hard to stay in the moment. The effort of concentration produces facial expressions that range from blank to defecatory.” Then there’s this nugget, when he refers the practice of some of his fellow retreat participants to bow to a statue of the Buddha: “I’m still bowing to the Buddha, but mostly for the hamstring stretch.” As a psychotherapist and teacher of mindfulness-based counseling techniques, I am highly recommending 10% Happier to both my clients and student/colleagues. Here’s why. Harris is a synthesizer, rendering the dense subjects of mindfulness culture, science, and meditation-user experience into a three-part harmony that immediately makes you want to hear more. His stories pull you in. Before you know it, you’re in the story yourself, identifying with one of the zillions of facets that emerge in his writing. Whether it’s his reporting of and friendship with Ted Haggard, the fallen-from-grace evangelical church leader, or his confessions of insecurity working among television giants like Peter Jennings and Diane Sawyer, Harris uses a running psychoanalysis of himself as the instrument which carries the reader deeper into contemplation of their own psyche. Admittedly, this book isn’t a how-to for meditation, nor is it a scientific discourse about neurobiology. (Bookstores are already filled with these.) But as I like to say about the healing work of psychotherapy, it moves the ball down the field. For experienced meditators, perhaps it challenges some of the sacred attachments (a nice way of saying “ruts”) you have in your current practice. For beginners, moving the ball down the field might look like the simple act of attending your first yoga session and having the confidence to know you don’t need to learn Sanskrit or wear spandex (but hey, spandex is cool too). After reading 10% Happier, I feel closer to the amazingly diverse and rich community of mindfulness practitioners that I might not have learned about if I kept my literary diet fixed on those from the same mindfulness “tribe” I’ve trained and practiced with. Thanks to Dan’s investigative narrative and personal prose, his book is a powerful resource to help you wake up from life on automatic. As Leo Tolstoy once said: “In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.” Dan Harris will help you do this. 10% more. ## Frequently Bought Together - 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story - Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/199500-10-happier-how-i-tamed-the-voice-in-my-head](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/199500-10-happier-how-i-tamed-the-voice-in-my-head) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
