Meditate on the Breath (Without Driving Yourself Nuts) | Bonus Meditation with Joseph Goldstein

This is the Ten Percent Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hey, it's Dan. I just want to tell you about something I'm really proud of. The new community we are building over on my new app, which is called 10% with Dan Harris.

Here's something I believe with no reservation. Taking care of your own mind is not selfish. It's actually essential if you want to show up for the world, if you want to deal with the various emergencies on the planet right now. There is, in fact, a geopolitical case for you to get your shit together. In other words, taking care of your own mind is good citizenship.

I think about it like an upward spiral. You train your mind, that makes you happier and less reactive. Because you're steadier, that improves your relationships with everybody around you. And because relationships are crucial to human happiness, you get even happier, then your relationships get even better, and up you go. Our mission over at this new app is to guide you through this process with a growing library of meditations from world-class teachers like Sebane Selassie and Joseph Goldstein and on and on.
