Description
News anchor Dan Harris tells his story of discovering meditation as a way to guide him through professional and personal crises. The narrative begins with Harris suffering an on-air mental breakdown, after which he cycles through the advice of several unconvincing self-help experts until discovering meditation and Buddhism. Harris makes a case that meditation, along with Buddhist thought and self-interested compassion, can significantly improve a person’s life, and supports his thesis with a combination of scientific evidence and personal testimony.
