Hello everybody, I'm Dan Harris. Welcome to the 10% happier podcast. One of my little taglines is, uh, the world is insane, but you don't have to be. I get it. Uh, it is tough out there, and uh, given all the chaos and and cruelty and uncertainty, it is natural.

to want to resort to despair or hostility or denial, but none of those things actually feel good. And more importantly, none of those things actually help the overall situation. So today we're going to talk in great detail about how to feel better about everything that's happening in the world and more importantly, how to engage so that you can make things better, which by the way, will make you feel better. My guest today is the legendary meditation teacher Tara Brock.

She has written such books as Radical Acceptance and Radical Compassion, and she's out now with something called the Courageous Heart Workbook. We're going to talk all about it. Tara Brock after this quick break. A few things before we hear from our sponsors, if you haven't already checked out my new-ish meditation app, 10% with Dan Harris, I would love for you to do so.
