10% Happier with Dan Harris7 Nov 2025

Is the News Making You Hate Everybody? Here's a Radical Antidote.

We're sharing an episode of The Paula Faris Show on which Dan was a guest. Here's Paula's introduction:

From theological debates to newsroom banter, Dan Harris and I couldn't be more different — I grew up in a Midwest Conservative Christian home, while Dan grew up as an East Coast Liberal who had a Bar Mitzvah for the money (his words!). But our unlikely friendship as co-anchors on Good Morning America became a lesson in empathy, curiosity, and the beauty of bridging divides.

In this candid and hilarious reunion, Dan and I talk about media bias, religious differences, and how pushing each other made us better journalists — and better people. It's a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when you stop avoiding the hard conversations and start leaning in and the science behind the importance of having people in our lives who are different from us.

From Bar Mitzvahs to Bible studies, this episode will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even text a friend who sees the world a little differently than you do.

Sign up to receive Paula's email where she keeps it real about what it's like being a parent in America. And if you're a working mom, make sure you're getting The CARRY ALL email, the load-lessening newsletter for and by working moms.
