10% Happier with Dan Harris

Plus: How to build a meditation practice you keep coming back to. We’re in the midst of an exciting evolution of the overall 10% Happier project. In our quest to make this podcast more actionable – to help you operationalize all the game-changing ideas you encounter on this pod – we’re now offering guided meditations to accompany each full episode of the show, available to paid subscribers at DanHarris.com [http://danharris.com]. For the month of July, those meditations will come from Dawn Mauricio [https://dawnmauricio.com/], a teacher in the Insight Meditation tradition whom we love.  In this kickoff episode, you’ll hear our head of content, DJ Cashmere, in conversation with Dawn, who shares a little of her backstory and her journey to become a teacher. You’ll learn about the hardest thing she’s ever done in her life, how she describes herself as a meditation teacher, and how an injury she’s currently dealing with has turned out to have some genuine upsides.    Related Episodes: * How To Handle Difficult People | Dawn Mauricio [https://www.danharris.com/p/how-to-handle-difficult-people-dawn-33d?utm_source=publication-search] * What “Getting Out of Your Head” Actually Means | Dawn Mauricio [https://www.danharris.com/p/what-getting-out-of-your-head-actually-496?utm_source=publication-search]   Join Dan’s online community here [http://www.danharris.com] Follow Dan on social: Instagram [https://bit.ly/3tGigG5], TikTok [https://bit.ly/3FOA84J] Subscribe to our YouTube Channel [https://bit.ly/3FybRzD]   To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris [https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris]
