This is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, my fellow suffering beings. How are we doing? We've got a conversation today with one of my best friends and favorite meditation teachers, Jeff Warren.

We talk about insomnia, chronic pain, how to turn down the volume on your inner critic, how to handle the existential fears that many of us feel for our loved ones, especially our kids, what to do when you feel stuck in your meditation practice, and the difficulty that many of us face when we're caring for our aging parents. What you're about to hear is me and Jeff taking questions live from subscribers to my new app, which is called 10% with Dan Harris. We do these live sessions every week on video where we uh meditate and then take your questions. And if you sign up for the app, you can join us in real time. To get the app, go over to danharris.com.
