    After hearing “wantingful” and similar, I was left wondering if literacy is not a requirement of the guests Dan hosts. Wish this was more like Radiolab.

  • A skeptic who did the work and told the truth about it.

    I have been following 10% Happier for a while now, and this show keeps earning its place in my life. What Dan brings to every conversation is rare: honest, grounded, no pretence. He asks the questions a skeptic would ask and doesn't pretend the answers are simple.

    The recent episode on the Science of Supplements was so good, I shared it with my physiotherapist and a friend.

  • Thank you

    Dan, thank you for being real.

    So much of this podcast I find relatable and I find myself saying “ahh!! Me too!!” Specifically the topics of insomnia, cannabis and panic attacks, claustrophobia… just to name the first few that came to mind. This podcast covers so many different helpful topics ! It’s not all just meditation and breathing (though nothing wrong with that!!)

  • Great guests

    Edit: Ashley Madison as a sponsor? I fell off listening to the pod for a while, it used to be my go to for mental health.. tasteless.

    I sometimes wonder if I’m in the right tax bracket to be a listener of this show, lol. Even still, as a corporate millennial in middle management, some of the guests have genuinely changed the way I lead my team. Overall a great podcast that I listen to weekly.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brain Won't Stop? Here's How to Calm Down | Dan Harris
Q: How can you decide when to dead-end a thought stream?
Label recurring, unproductive thoughts as dead ends in a way that is light and non-hostile, using it as a signal to shift away from unhelpful rumination and back toward constructive focus.
How to Click With Anyone, Read Every Room, and Stop Absorbing Other People's Stress | Kate Murphy
Q: What is interpersonal synchrony and why does it matter?
Interpersonal synchrony is the natural tendency for people to mirror each other's gestures, expressions, and even physiological signals like heart rate and brain activity; it fosters empathy, understanding, and stronger social bonds, both personally and professionally.
Anxiety Narrows Your Brain. Here's How to Widen It Back Out. | Susa Talan
Q: What should you do when emotions like crying arise during meditation?
Treat crying as a signal to stay with the sensation, describe the physical feelings, and allow the experience to unfold without rushing to fix it; over time this can reveal more about the underlying experience.
Anxiety Narrows Your Brain. Here's How to Widen It Back Out. | Susa Talan
Q: Does it make a difference whether you do a guided meditation or just meditate on your own?
Guided meditation can support focus and provide structure, but the key is finding what supports your own mind to be aware and present; the form matters less than the intention and consistency.
Anxiety Narrows Your Brain. Here's How to Widen It Back Out. | Susa Talan
Q: Why is being aware a preferable way of moving through the world?
Being aware helps you stay present, respond with more choice instead of reacting, and notice connections and opportunities for care that are easy to miss when the mind contracts around anxiety.
