About Ten Percent Happier
Ten Percent Happier is the 'No-Bullshit' guide to the mind. Its weekly newsletter is famous for its 'Skepticism'—Dan approaches mindfulness with a healthy dose of cynicism, which is exactly why it works for people who are allergic to robes and incense. It's unique for its 'Expert Access'; he brings on top-tier scientists and meditation teachers and grills them with the directness of a network journalist. It is an essential read for anyone who wants the benefits of meditation (focus, calm, kindness) without the woo-woo baggage.
