This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris.

Hey, hey, how we doing, everybody?

Today we've got some insider tips on how not to let the news paralyze you.

My guest is an old friend who recently became the anchor and managing editor of the NBC Nightly News.

I knew him when he was a correspondent over at ABC News where we work together. He's always been a very thoughtful dude. He also happens to be a power listener to this show, which is

proof of something. I wanted to have Tom Yamis on to discuss the techniques he personally

uses to survive our current national and global tumult. This is a guy who really is in the belly of the beast.

So what does he know that the rest of us should?

We talk about how to be a better listener, practices for continued growth and curiosity as you get older,

the role of both faith and meditation in Tom's life, the role of exercise, the role of

friendship, his family's dramatic history

and how that impacts him becoming the first Latino anchor of a weekday evening news broadcast

and much more. Before we dive in, a very quick plug, don't forget to check out what we're

doing over on Dan Harris.com. Subs com subscribers get to come to our weekly live meditation

and q and a session every tuesday at four the next one is coming up on december 16th is going to look a

little different we're going to be joined by some special guests with details on an exciting new

project that we're launching in the 10% happier world i'm very excited for you to hear about this.
