This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, everybody. Today we're doing what's called a feed drop. That means we're taking an episode from another podcast and dropping it down.

Our feed. We do this occasionally when there's a show we really like and we think you might like. This is a great way to just kind of let you know, to taste test. The show we're highlighting today is hosted by Michelle Obama, the former First Lady of the United States of America, and it's co-hosted with her big brother Craig Robinson, and the show is called IMO. Anyway, you know how on this show our whole goal is to translate complex ideas from modern science and ancient wisdom and turn them into actionable advice that you can put to use in your everyday life.

Well, that's quite similar what Michelle and Craig are aiming to do over on IMO. Their goal is to bring you candid, useful perspectives on the everyday questions that shape your life, your relationships, and the world around us. Each week they're joined by a guest to tackle real questions from real people just like you, and then to serve up practical advice, personal storytelling, and some laughter. In the episode you're about to hear, Anderson Cooper from CNN shares what he has learned about grief. Anderson has done some incredible work publicly on the often very private issue of grief, with which he has, unfortunately, a lot of experience.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.
