Do you ever check email compulsively, eat when you’re not hungry, or fixate on the past and the future at the expense of the present? Ever lose your temper unnecessarily? Nightline anchor Dan Harris joins Mindy Todd on The Point to talk about his new book, 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story.After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A skeptic, he'd always assumed that meditation was either impossible or useless. But after learning about research that suggests meditation can lower your blood pressure and actually make changes to your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using meditation for increased calm, focus, and happiness. Here's information on a talk Dan Harris will give next week, hosted by Calmer Choice.Adam Liss, director of Cape Stress Reduction and Optimal Health, joins the conversation to share information about the growing popularity and the health benefits of mindfulness practice.
