Book 12 (of 52) – Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics

Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book – Dan Harris, Jeff Warren, and Carlye Adler

Catching up on the books I read while in Hawaii on vacation.

Following up on his previous book on meditation, Dan Harris returns, along with Jeff Warren and Carlye Adler, with Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics.  In 2017, Harris and crew rented a tour bus and hit the road, embarking on a cross-country trip to tackle some of the myths and misconceptions that stop people from meditating.  This book tells the story of that trip, along with practical meditation instructions to tie into the reasons people give for not meditating.

Meditation was something I had been interested in dating back to 2017.  I had done it off and on, more off than on to be honest, until last year, where I tried to stick with it every day.  That has carried into this year, at least so far.  Has it improved my life?  I think so, at least a little bit.  Has it transformed my life?  I’m not quite ready to go that far just yet.
