This is the 10% Happier Podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello everybody, how are we doing? We've got a fascinating and often very funny discussion today and we cover a lot of ground. How can you be cool with literally anything that happens?

Does everything happen for a reason? Is there any truth to that old cliche? We also take your voicemails with questions on work-life balance, obsessive thinking, and meditation versus napping. This episode is part of an occasional series we do here on the show called Meditation Party. It features two of my old friends, Jeff Warren and Sebonet Selassie.

If you are not familiar with those guys, uh, here's a little bit more information about them. Sabine describes herself as a writer, teacher, and immigrant weirdo. She is the author of a great book called You Belong. She's based in Brooklyn in NYC.

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