When You're Afraid to Slow Down — Even Though You Need To

This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Okay, everybody, how are we doing? Today we're going to talk about how to keep your mind calm in a chaotic world. What you're about to hear is an interview with me, actually.

It was conducted by my new friend Hoda Kopi, who's another veteran of network morning television. Hoda was, as you may know, for many years the co-anchor of the Today Show on NBC, which was our arch rival when I was working at Good Morning America. Now, among other things, Hoda hosts her own podcast, which is called Making Space. If you like it, you should go subscribe to the show. Before we dive in, just a lightning quick reminder.

to come check out what we're doing over on danharris.com. If you sign up, you get custom meditations that come with all of our full-length Monday-Wednesday episodes on the show. Those meditations are designed to help you take what you learn on the show and, as I like to say, pound them into your neurons. If you sign up, you'll also get invited to our weekly live meditation and Q<unk>A sessions, which we do every Tuesday at 4 Eastern. All right, we'll get started with me and Hoda Kotpi on making space right after this.
