Dan Harris always believed that the restless, unrelenting, and impossible-to-satiate voice in his head was among his greatest assets. If you want to get ahead in an ultra-competitive field like television news, you need to be constantly worrying and hypervigilant. For a while he was successful at using his strategy. He was an anchor for national broadcasts and he covered wars. He then hit the brakes and had an anxiety attack live on the air. What happened next was totally unexpected. Through a bizarre series of events involving a disgraced evangelical preacher, a mysterious self-improvement guru and a fateful gift by his wife, Harris stumbled upon something that allowed him to tame the voice in his mind: meditation.

“The book itself is a narrative of Dan’s conversion amidst the harried and decidedly un-Zen world of the New York Times newsroom. It ends with a section for the beginner on how to get started with meditation.”

At first he was very skeptical. He had always associated meditation with bearded swami and unwashed hippies. But when confronted with the mounting scientific evidence that just five minutes a day can literally change your life, he decided to take a deep dive into meditation. Harris’ life wasn’t turned into a parade of rainbows and unicorns, yet he did gain a passion to meditate every day.

The Likeability Trap (2019)

This book explores likability as a proxy for unconscious bias and gender discrimination. It also offers constructive ways for women to reframe so-called feedback from others that focuses solely on style or presentation, and ways to change your mindset from one of likability to that of relatability. The bottom line: It calls for women to be confident, advocate for themselves, challenge stereotypes and bias, and not be afraid to walk away when their personal, ethical, or moral code is undermined.
