How about some meditation in "these uncertain times"?

TUT. These Uncertain Times. How many times have you heard that phrase recently?

Well, anyway. In "TUT" I have been enjoying rediscovering Dan Harris, author, app founder, podcaster and ABC national news anchor.

His books are "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" (2014) (which I read and really liked)
and "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics"

His podcast is the Ten Percent Happier Podcast with Dan Harris and that's what I just started listening to. The one I played today was April 8, #237: Is It Still OK to Be Happy? | Sylvia Boorstein and the first one I listened to was April 1 #235 Joseph Goldstein |Meditating in a Pandemic (Dan's meditation teacher) and both were wonderful. There are at least two more related to COVID which look equally great.

There's also a free newsletter on his 10% Happier website - recent episodes look like they are all about the crisis.

Dan's app is 10% Happier, by subscription, but he's offering free subscriptions to health care workers.

Check it out, friends and please, stay emotionally as well as physically safe!

 

Really really great 10% Happier podcast this week, Dan interviews David Kessler: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/david-kessler-240 (#240 Why We’re All Grieving - And How To Deal With It | David Kessler — Ten Percent Happier) "Why We’re All Grieving - And How To Deal With It"

100% spot on for this time we are in.
