Dan Harris: The Hidden Stressors That Are Ruining Your Inner Health & 10 Changes to Make to Reduce Stress

What stresses you out the most?

Have you noticed stress hurting your health?

Today, Jay sits down with Dan Harris, journalist, meditation advocate, and the author of 10% Happier. If you’ve ever felt like stress and anxiety are running the show in your life, this episode is here to remind you that you’re not alone—and better yet, there’s a way forward.

Dan opens up about the growing levels of anxiety and stress we’re all feeling, thanks to modern life’s endless distractions like social media, political turmoil, and the ripple effects of the pandemic. He unpacks the difference between stress and anxiety and offers some eye-opening perspectives on why we often feel overwhelmed. But this isn’t just a heavy conversation about what’s wrong with the world—it’s packed with solutions.

Jay and Dan dive into the magic of human connection, the science of mindfulness, and the art of not being so hard on yourself. Dan shares personal stories about grappling with anger, dealing with claustrophobia, and navigating his own inner critic. You’ll hear how meditation has been a game-changer for him, not in making life perfect, but in making it manageable—and even joyful.

They also get into the nitty-gritty of practical tips: How do you set boundaries with your phone? How do you learn to live with discomfort instead of running from it? And how can you reframe that negative self-talk that’s always lurking? Spoiler alert: It’s not about silencing your inner critic; it’s about befriending it.

In this interview, you'll learn:

How to Differentiate Stress from Anxiety

How to Build Meaningful Connections That Reduce Stress

How to Reframe Negative Self-Talk

How to Identify the Root Cause of Your Anger

How to Embrace Discomfort for Personal Growth

How to Recognize and Change Destructive Habits

You don’t need to have all the answers or fix everything overnight. It’s about showing up, being kind to yourself, and embracing the messy, imperfect journey of personal growth.

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty

The 6 Ways To Stop Yourself From Falling In Love Too Fast

The 6 Ways To Stop Yourself From Falling In Love Too Fast

I am absolutely fascinated by exploring the insights of love and relationships. Understanding the depths of a connection is the key to whether two people are right or wrong for each other. All things that matter to our lives, they take time. There's effort, there's mistakes, there's learning, and there's growing - no shortcuts. Making big decisions based on a small amount of information isn't productive. You think you know their heart, but you just know their mind.

Why Small Talk Should Be Banned & 9 Questions That Go Deeper

What does small talk do to our minds and our experiences? Small talk limits us from deep meaningful relationships, not just with others but with ourselves as well. How often do you go to an event and have the same conversation? You stop learning, you stop listening and leave feeling unsatisfied. The more genuine, authentic, vulnerable & empathetic discussions that we have, the deeper our relationships goes and the higher our quality of happiness.
