A wartime correspondent, Dan found himself hooked on drugs and struggling after returning stateside, culminating with an on-air panic attack. He found relief through daily meditation. “Ten Percent Happier” began as a book about his experience, since evolving into an app for meditation and this podcast. In the podcast, Dan interviews “smart people” from all walks of life about meditation, including physicians, celebrities, executives, and even the Dalai Lama.
