Summary

Do you want to live longer, exercise smarter & eat better? Ten Percent Happier has a series of podcast episodes to help you do just that, featuring experts in science and Buddhism. Listen here: https://link.chtbl.com/vX0o7hLd.The Ten Percent Happier podcast is hosted by Dan Harris, a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. On the Ten Percent Happier podcast, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity -- from Gabor Maté to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. Listen as Dan ventures into the deep end of the pool, covering subjects such as enlightenment and psychedelics or science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. You can listen to Ten Percent Happier wherever you're listening to this.

0:04.0	Hey it's Dan Harris, host of the 10% happier podcast. I've got an announcement about an exciting new series.
0:17.0	We've put together over on the show that I think might be of high interest to you.

1:02.3	In the midst of all of this, in the middle of this measma,
1:05.0	it is genuinely hard to keep up with what is actually good for us,

1:30.1	want to be healthier or is it some sort of self-loathing? So these are some of the
1:34.3	questions we are endeavoring to answer in the course of this new series which we're
