Hey everyone, welcome to Being Well, I'm Forest Hanson.

If you're new to the show, thanks for joining us today, and if you've listened to before,

welcome back.

I'm here as usual with Dr. Rick Hanson, Rick is a clinical psychologist, a bestseller

and author, and he's also my dad, so dad, how are you doing today?

I'm really good, and I'm very happy that we're going to be talking with Dan Harris.

I've just had a lot of respect for a long time.

If you're listening to a podcast like ours, you're probably already familiar with Dan.

For 21 years, he worked as an anchor and correspondent for ABC News, where he hosted shows like

Nightline and Good Morning America.

And after having a nationally televised panic attack on GMA in 2004, Dan gave meditation

a try, which led to his New York Times bestseller, 10% happier.

And these days, as I said, he's the host of the top podcast by the same name and the co-founder

of the 10% happier meditation app.

So Dan, thanks for doing this with us.

How are you doing?

I'm doing great.

Thanks for having me.

It is so cool to be doing this, because I've heard your voice through my earbuds so frequently,

and so actually talking to you is pretty cool.

And I wanted to start just by asking you, you mentioned on social media a little while

ago, that a few months ago, you actually had a research and some panic attacks.
