How I Tamed The Voice In My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, And Found Self-Help That Actually Works

Dan Harris

overview

Author and News  Anchor, Dan Harris who was struggling with addiction while trying to be  ambitious in the competitive world of journalism had an on-air anxiety  attack and was on the brink of a total life meltdown. This prompted him  to seek help, sober up, go to therapy and eventually agree to embark on a  spirituality themed journalism project his boss Peter Jennings (a  legendary news anchor) was pressuring him to undertake.  This project exposed Dan Harris to a myriad of religious figures,  self-help superstars and the likes. He eventually stumbled upon what he  feels might be the answer to his conundrum, Mindfulness. To achieve this  he had to learn Meditation, being a pragmatic person he had to first  demystify the whole concept and distill the true lessons from the  standard pretentiousness associated with it. In this book, Dan Harris reveals all he learned in a funny yet  enlightening way, he made it easy and practical for people to actually  use Meditation in their everyday life.

overview

Time constrains the purposefulness of our professional and personal lives. In our 24/7 always-awake and always-connected world, there’s so much we need to do to be successful in our professional and personal pursuits, and so little time to do them; even though we sleep less and less to make “more time” to do them. Do you feel time-constrained in your professional and personal lives? Most of us are under a constant time crunch. Week in, week out. Laura Vanderkam, the author of “168 Hours”, makes a counter-argument ― there are 168 hours in the week, and there is enough time inside of those 168 hours to live purposefully in our professional and personal lives. Then if we rinse and repeat, there is enough time to live a purposeful life, 168 hours at a time. Is Laura Vanderkam right? Find the answers in this time-management book you need to read.
