Overview

Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics (2017) by Dan Harris and Jeff Warren (with Carlye Adler) is a companion book to 10% Happier, Harris’s 2014 bestseller about embracing mindfulness meditation. In 2004, Harris, who is now a co-anchor for Nightline, had a panic attack on Good Morning America in front of more than 5 million viewers. He has since become a devout meditator, in part to address his anxiety. Now a full-fledged meditation evangelist, Harris hopes to help other people learn basic mindfulness techniques that will drastically boost their well being.

Since the publication of 10% Happier, Harris has established a company of the same name that produces a meditation podcast and a smartphone app.
