“The awareness that emerges through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally, 

in the service of self-understanding and wisdom."

- Jon Kabat-Zinn

After a life-changing experience in India, Dr. Richie Davidson tried to convince his Harvard professors to let him study the science of meditation. No one took him seriously. Half a century later, Richie has measured the undeniable impact of meditation on our brains. And here’s the good news for people who know the benefits of meditation but struggle to actually do it: you don't need to carve out separate time for a practice. Richie walks Maya through how to integrate meditation into daily activities.

Dan Harris is a journalist, co-anchor of ABC’s Nightline and the weekend editions of Good Morning America, who wrote the bestselling book 10% Happier after having a panic attack on live national television and starting meditation, skeptically. He talks with meditation teachers, scientists, and celebrities including the Dalai Lama, Brené Brown and Karamo from Queer Eye. Subjects range from enlightenment and psychedelics to science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. "Dan's approach is... secretly radical: happiness is a skill you can train, just like working your bicep in the gym. Your progress may be incremental at first, but like any good investment, it compounds over time."
