This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Happy Sunday, everybody. Here's a provocative question for you. What

drives you? This is such a crucial question. I don't think enough of us ask ourselves this question. For many of us, though, if we pay attention, we may find that our fuel is fear or self-loathing or some kind of inner coercion. However, it is possible to change that.

Today we're going to hear from a very driven person, Christiana Wolf. She's a medical doctor, a Dharma teacher, and an ultramarathoner. She's been on this show several times, so you may be familiar with her. If you are, you may be happy to hear that she is our teacher of the month over on danharris.com for the month of November. That means she will be crafting guided meditations to go along with all of our Monday-Wednesday episodes.

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