Episode description as stored
MEDITATION WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
Why do we set aside time to take care of our bodies, but not our minds?
You need to work out your mental health just as often as you work out your physical health.
Meditation is basically a bicep curl for your brain.
When you meditate, you’re training your brain to come back to the present moment over and over again.
It’s scientifically proven to alter your brain waves.
That’s why I’m revisiting a conversation I had with someone whose life was changed by meditation: Dan Harris.
Dan Harris is a correspondent for ABC News, an anchor for Nightline and co-anchor for the weekend edition of Good Morning America.
He is a New York Times bestselling author who wrote 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 and Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-to Book.
Dan found meditation after suffering an on-air panic attack. Now he works to make meditation accessible for everyone.
Learn how meditation helped Dan and why he thinks it’s health’s next big thing in Episode 705.
