#1 New York Times Bestseller and winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir, this work offers a smart, clear-eyed, and personal exploration of meditation's benefits. After experiencing a panic attack on live television, Dan Harris, a lifelong skeptic, embarks on a humorous and unexpected journey through spirituality and self-help. His adventure introduces him to a disgraced pastor, a self-help guru, and brain scientists, leading him to confront the incessant voice in his head that had driven his success but also contributed to his breakdown. Ultimately, he discovers meditation, a practice he once dismissed as impossible or ineffective. Supported by research indicating its ability to lower blood pressure and rewire the brain, meditation becomes a transformative tool for Harris. The narrative takes readers from the realms of neuroscience to the world of network news and the fringes of American spirituality, offering insights that could genuinely change lives.
