E153 - Dan Harris: How to Conquer the Voice in Your Head

Retired news journalist and bestselling author, Dan Harris, explores the journey of transforming the mind through meditation. After experiencing a transformative on-air panic attack in 2004, Dan embarked on a journey that led him from the high-pressure world of network news to the forefront of the mindfulness movement. Drawing from his own skepticism and personal struggles, Dan shares how meditation became a practical tool for taming the relentless voice in his head and cultivating real happiness.
