How To Stop an Anxiety Spiral, The Best Protections Against Financial Ruin, and a Workaholic's Guide to Productivity (and Self-Care) | Andrew Ross Sorkin

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello everybody, how are we doing? Today we've got an unusual guest given the nature of this podcast. I'm talking to uh my friend Andrew Ross Sorkin, who's one of the best-known and most well-respected financial journalists in the world.

I wanted to have Andrew on because he recently wrote a book about the stock market crash of 1929. The book says a lot about human nature when it comes to one of the most reliable sources of suffering for myself and many other people, and that is money. So in this conversation, you're going to hear us talk about how to manage your anxiety when it comes to money, how not to make emotional money decisions, how not to lose your head and fall prey to fads and FOMO, etc. We also take a deep dive into Andrew's own productivity hacks, given that he is genuinely one of the busiest people in all of media.

And uh just so you know, one of those hacks is meditation, so we'll hear about his meditation practice. A little bit more about Andrew Rossorgan before we jump in here. He writes for the New York Times, where he's the founder and editor at large of Deal Book, an online daily financial report. He's also the co-anchor of Squawkbox on CNBC. And he's written two bestsellers, Too Big to Fail and his latest, which is called 1929, Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History and How It Shattered a Nation.
