How To Stop Getting Dragged Around By Your Anxieties, Thought Loops, and Insecurities | Sebene Selassie

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello everybody, how are we doing? So today we've got something special. It's a sneak preview of a new audiobook that I worked on with the meditation teacher Sabine Selassie.

It's called Even You Can Meditate, and it's officially out on Audible. You can listen right now by visiting audible.com slash Dan Harris to grab a copy of the book, and I will drop that link in the show notes as well. I'm very excited about this audiobook. Seb and I worked really hard on it. You can think of it as a practical rescue plan for anybody who feels too distracted or overwhelmed to start or restart a meditation practice.

It guides you through various traditions and techniques to help you find the style that actually will work for you, for your life, for your brain, et cetera, et cetera, so that you can derive all the benefits that come from an abiding meditation habit like reduced stress and improve sleep. Speaking of habits, by the way, the book comes with tons of practical, evidence-based hacks for booting up a habit that will actually stick. So what you're about to hear in this little preview are two sections from the book. The first is an introduction where Seb and I talk about what we're going to be doing in the book, why intention matters, and how to adapt these practices to work for your particular brain. The second section dives into mindfulness itself, what it is, what it isn't, and why the word is actually kind of a misnomer.
