Description

We’ve been trying to do a bunch of experiments here on this show, and our latest is a weekly newsletter, which you can sign up for here!To celebrate this new endeavor, we’ve put together a whole episode about risk taking and experimenting. We thought this would be helpful and educational while also giving you a fun peek behind the scenes (and also allowing us to be blatantly self-promotional in the process—a win/win!). In fact, this episode itself is experimental in its format, because we don’t have a typical guest.I sat down with the show’s Senior Editor Marissa Schneiderman—who has been collaborating with me on the newsletter—to talk about how we’ve been putting into practice the wisdom from some of our best guests, including Brené Brown, Adam Grant, Rick Rubin, Sarah Cooper.You can sign up for Dan Harris’ Newsletter at:https://www.tenpercent.com/podcastIt’s a weekly roundup of life hacks, cultural recommendations, pod news, and upcoming events.Related Episodes:Adam Grant on the Science of Potential and AchievementLegendary Record Producer Rick Rubin On: Creativity, Habits, Self-Doubt, Intuition and MeditationComedian Sarah Cooper On: Humiliation, Perfectionism, and Taking ChancesVulnerability: The Key to Courage | Brené BrownHow to Speak Clearly, Calmly, and Without Alienating People | Dan Clurman and Mudita NiskerFull Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/take-risksSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical ABC News anchor who had a panic attack live on "Good Morning America," which led him to try something he always thought was ridiculous: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, "10% Happier." In this podcast, Dan explores happiness (whatever that means) from all angles. Guests include legendary meditation teachers -- from the Dalai Lama to Western masters -- as well as scientists, and even the odd celebrity. But the show also ventures beyond meditation, bringing on leading researchers in areas such as social anxiety, bias, creativity, productivity, and relationships. The animating insight of this show is that the mind is trainable. This is what science is showing us. Mental traits such as happiness, calm, generosity, compassion, and connection are not hardwired, unalterable factory settings; they are, in fact, skills that can be trained. On this show, you'll learn how.
