This is a show about how to do life better. It’s hosted by Dan Harris, a former ABC News anchor turned bestselling author. Drawing on a mix of ancient Buddhism and modern science, this podcast covers such topics as: stress, anxiety, depression, sleep, self-compassion, fitness, relationships (personal and professional), productivity, focus, decision-making, time management, and meditation. Interviewees include authors, teachers, psychologists, researchers, and celebrities—from RuPaul to His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The animating insight is that happiness is not an unalterable factory setting; it’s a skill. The mind is trainable, and this show will teach you how to do it.
