This episode is a bit different, and I am in the hot seat.
Dan Harris (@danharris) interviewed me for his
show, the 10% Happier with Dan Harris podcast, and I thought it
was worth sharing here. Dan is a wonderful interviewer, and we
got in the zone. He is also the bestselling author of 10%
Happier and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10%
Happier How-To Book.
