In celebration of its 10th anniversary, a revised and updated edition of the award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller that changed the way we look at meditation, expanded with new material by Dan Harris. After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head. We all have an inner narrator. It’s what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we’re not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us assume we’re stuck with this voice—that there’s nothing we can do to rein it in—but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. 10% Happier is now considered a classic text on the power of meditation, an introduction to the practice that can convert even the most hardened skeptic. With over a million copies sold, 10% Happier is the go-to guide, and with meditation now a widely accepted and encouraged practice, Dan Harris is a pivotal and approachable figure in the field who has built a thriving platform based on the ideas he first presented in this book. In this 10th Anniversary Edition, Harris offers a new preface reflecting on how much has changed—for him and for the public perceptions of meditation, plus a revised and expanded appendix, filled with guided meditations and practical advice for people looking to boot up a habit.

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF 10% HAPPIER Too busy to meditate? Can’t turn off your brain? Curious about mindfulness but more comfortable in the gym? This book is for you. You’ll also get access to guided audio meditations on the 10% Happier app, to jumpstart your practice from day one. What exactly is meditation? ABC News anchor Dan Harris used to think that meditation was for people who collect crystals, play Ultimate Frisbee, and use the word “namaste” without irony. After he had a panic attack on live television, he went on a strange and circuitous journey that ultimately led him to become one of meditation’s most vocal public proponents. Harris found that meditation made him more focused and less yanked around by his emotions. According to his wife, it also made him less annoying. Science suggests that the practice can lower your blood pressure, mitigate depression and anxiety, and literally rewire key parts of the brain. So what’s holding you back? In Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, Harris and Jeff Warren, a masterful teacher and “Meditation MacGyver,” embark on a gonzo cross-country quest to tackle the myths, misconceptions, and self-deceptions that keep people from meditating. It is filled with game-changing and deeply practical meditation instructions—all of which are also available (for free) on the 10% Happier app. This book is a trip worth taking. Praise for Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics “If you’re intrigued by meditation but don’t know how to begin—or you’ve benefited from meditation in the past but need help to get started again—Dan Harris has written the book for you. Well researched, practical, and crammed with expert advice, it’s also an irreverent, hilarious page-turner.”—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project “The ABC News anchor, a ‘defender of worrying’ who once had an anxiety attack on air, offers a hilarious and stirring account of his two-steps-forward-one-step-back campaign to sort ‘useless rumination’ from ‘constructive anguish’ via mindfulness, along with invaluable suggestions for following in his footsteps.”—O: The Oprah Magazine

Risk and Return for Regulated Industries provides a much-needed, comprehensive review of how cost of capital risk arises and can be measured, how the special risks regulated industries face affect fair return, and the challenges that regulated industries are likely to face in the future. Rather than following the trend of broad industry introductions or textbook style reviews of utility finance, it covers the topics of most interest to regulators, regulated companies, regulatory lawyers, and rate-of-return analysts in all countries. Accordingly, the book also includes case studies about various countries and discussions of the lessons international regulatory procedures can offer. - Presents a unified treatment of the regulatory principles and practices used to assess the required return on capital - Addresses current practices before exploring the ways methods play out in practice, including irregularities, shortcomings, and concerns for the future - Focuses on developed economies instead of providing a comprehensive global reviews - Foreword by Stewart C. Myers

This book offers a socio-cultural examination of contemporary creativity studies. Drawing heavily on posthumanist, new materialist and affective theoretics, the author argues in favour of an expansive and sustainable approach to creativity which contributes to an emergent ‘creativity studies’ inter-discipline. It seeks to establish a broader consideration of creativity in socio-culture, that extends beyond, or indeed refutes, the narrowing aperture of entrepreneurship and innovation as synonyms for creativity in economic, cultural and educational contexts and discourses. Drawing on multiple case studies of creative relational and creative ecological empirical research, this book integrates a concern for personal, planetary and geo-political collaboration, as an antidote for ‘innovation for innovation’s sake’.

"Este é o melhor livro sobre meditação para os não iniciados, os céticos e os curiosos. Parte confessional, parte investigação jornalística, 10% mais feliz é 100% viciante." — Daniel Goleman, autor de Inteligência emocional e Foco Dan Harris era um jornalista promissor, que construía com garra sua carreira de apresentador na rede de televisão americana ABC News. Mas a obsessão pelo trabalho, a autocrítica exagerada e a extrema competitividade o levaram a um ponto sem volta: o dia em que teve um ataque de pânico ao vivo, na frente de milhões de telespectadores. A partir dali, ficou claro que algo precisava mudar – e ele acabou embarcando numa inesperada odisseia através do mundo da espiritualidade. Apesar de declaradamente agnóstico, Dan precisou admitir que ficara intrigado com aquele universo. Com certa relutância, ele descobriu que a fonte de seus problemas era justamente aquilo que considerava seu maior aliado: a voz incessante dentro de sua cabeça, que o impelia sempre a querer mais, fazer mais, se esforçar mais. Todos nós temos essa voz. É ela que nos faz ter preocupações excessivas, julgar os outros, ruminar o passado e temer o futuro. É ela que nos torna tensos, ansiosos, irritados e frustrados. Assim como a maioria das pessoas, Dan acreditava que era impossível controlar essa voz. Mas ele encontrou na meditação uma maneira eficaz de acalmar seus pensamentos, equilibrar suas emoções e se tornar uma pessoa melhor – sem perder a energia para lutar por aquilo que deseja. Fugindo de clichês e sentimentalismos, ele divide com o leitor suas dúvidas, desconfianças e descobertas, narrando de forma hilária os inusitados passos dessa jornada: de entrevistas duras com Eckhart Tolle, Dalai Lama e Deepak Chopra até um retiro de dez dias que fez ruir sua resistência.

Cuối cùng, Harris nhận ra rằng nguồn gốc của những vấn đề là thứ mà anh luôn nghĩ là tài sản lớn nhất của mình: tiếng nói nội tâm, thứ đã đẩy vượt lên trên hàng ngũ của môi trường siêu cạnh tranh, nhưng cũng đẩy anh đến những quyết định cực kỳ ngu ngốc, kích động sự điên cuồng trong anh. Cuối cùng, Harris tình cờ tìm ra một cách hiệu quả để kiềm chế giọng nói đó, một thứ mà anh ta luôn cho là không thể hoặc vô dụng: hành thiền. 10% hạnh phúc hơn đưa độc giả trên một hành trình từ thánh địa tin tức với cung đường Vành đai tôn giáo của Mỹ, và lưu lại một cuộc phiêu lưu có thể thực sự thay đổi cuộc sống của họ.

Être un peu plus zen, c''est déjà beaucoup. Et c''est faisable. Dan Harris, c''est Candide au pays du développement personnel. Présentateur télé, stressé chronique, sceptique systématique, rien ne le prédisposait à s''intéresser au développement personnel ou à la spiritualité. Mais son patron l''envoie enquêter sur les stars du développement personnel. Le voici rencontrant les stars du développement personnel, de Deepak Chopra à Eckhart Tolle, en passant par les télé-évangélistes, avec un regard toujours curieux, parfois narquois, et très souvent amusé. Mais, entre les propositions les plus ésotériques, et celles carrément loufoques qui promettent le bonheur à 100%, n''y a-t-il pas moyen, pour un esprit cartésien, de devenir - et c''est déjà beaucoup - 10% plus heureux ?

¿Tu vida es tan ocupada que no puedes meditar? ¿Eres incapaz de "apagar" tu cerebro? ¿Te da curiosidad la meditación pero te sientes más a gusto en el gimnasio o la oficina? Este libro es para ti. Como muchos otros escépticos inquietos, el presentador de noticias Dan Harris creía que la meditación estaba reservada a personas que coleccionan cristales, llevan dietas imposibles de explicar y usan la palabra namasté sin ironía. Pero un día sufrió un ataque de pánico al aire, en un programa en vivo que vieron varios millones de personas. Desde entonces, descubrió que la meditación puede ayudar a mitigar la depresión y la ansiedad, controlar la presión arterial y mejorar el bienestar general. ¿Por qué, entonces, no la practicamos todos? En esta obra, Harris y el maestro de meditación Jeff Warren emprenden un viaje para explorar los mitos, malentendidos y autoengaños que alejan a la gente de la meditación: ideas como "No sirvo para esto", "No tengo tiempo", "Ni que fuera hippie" y otras similares. Con una mezcla de testimonios y ejercicios prácticos, claros y aplicables a toda clase de rutinas cotidianas, Meditación para escépticos inquietos demuestra que es posible cambiar nuestra vida sin transformar radicalmente nuestros hábitos ni tener una gran iluminación religiosa o espiritual: basta encontrar los momentos de lucidez y entrenar a nuestra mente para llevar una vida más plena y satisfactoria.
