This is a FlashNotes Book Summary of 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works - A True Story by Dan Harris

Original book description:

Winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir

After having a nationally televised panic attack, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of a hypercompetitive business but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.

Eventually Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice, something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation, a tool that research suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain. 10% Happier takes listeners on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America's spiritual scene and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

10% Happier

The (short) version of this book was terrific! For people who like to get to the " facts" or in this case, the message, it's perfect. Without repeating examples upon examples of a specific point, the narrator encapsulates the essence of the information bringing the reader ( listener) to a personal crossroad. The reader can choose to read ( listen to) the entire book or not. It's a satisfying way to involve oneself in the search and delight in finding books worth a person's investment in time and interest.

A Must Read. Convinced me to Meditate.

If you could sum up 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works - A True Story by Dan Harris: Book Summary in three words, what would they be?

I love that he is so skeptical, and he's not someone that you think of would be into meditation, so very relatable.

What other book might you compare 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works - A True Story by Dan Harris: Book Summary to and why?

I read The Untethered Soul just before and I found reading both books one after the other gave me a really solid understanding and appreciation for the 'voice in my head'. I've been trying to meditate even just 5 minutes a day (probably more like every other, or every 3 days) but I feel the benefits already.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it was quite entertaining.

Any additional comments?

Life is becoming more and more stressful, so fast paced and there are so many distractions. I truly believe, as Dan Harris says as well, mediation and/or mindfulness is the next big craze and well needed before we all end up on anti-anxiety medication.

very helpful

I really liked how simple it was to understand it.

Publisher: Sounds True

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 11 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

"First thought, best thought." This was the phrase that poet Allen Ginsberg used to describe spontaneous and fearless writing, a way of telling the truth that arises from naked and authentic experience. For more than 30 years, groundbreaking teachers at Naropa University such as Ginsberg and his colleagues Anne Waldman, William S. Burroughs, and Diane di Prima have inspired emerging poets and prose writers to express themselves with unfettered honesty and immediacy. Now, with First Thought, Best Thought, the first landmark release from Naropa University's treasured audio archives, you are invited to meet and learn with these literary mentors face-to-face as they share the secrets of their craft.

Selected and edited by poet and Naropa alumnus Randy Roark from thousands of hours of performance and teaching sessions, First Thought, Best Thought brings you four rare gems of inspiration and practical wisdom, including:

An Amazing WEALTH of Writing Advice

I've been having an ongoing flirtation with the "Beat Generation" this year, having read Diane Di Prima, Anne Waldman, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, among others. When I stumbled across this set of audio CD's, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. To hear these giants of their generation reading their own works was a dream come true.

The title "First Thought, Best Thought" was the phrase that poet Allen Ginsberg used to describe spontaneous and fearless writing--a way of "telling the truth" that arises from naked and authentic experience.

Here's the gist of the CD's:

*William S. Burroughs teaching his breakthrough methods for generating fresh writing--including "the cut-up method," chance operations, and dreamwork.

*Diane di Prima on how to survive as an artist: preserving your sensibility, creating a supportive artistic community, getting published, self-publishing, and much more.

*Allen Ginsberg exploring every stage of poetic activity--from inspiration, to composition, to revision, to performing your poetry in public.

*Anne Waldman on the elements of the poet's craft--from the raw material of the words themselves to the many aspects of the poem in performance.

I must say that my own writing practice (after listening to these CD's a few times) has been profoundly enriched for the better. I've decided to publish my own poetry and I'm experimenting with the cut-up method suggested by Burroughs. It's a blast and funny has hell at times.

If you need a giant dose of inspiration and/or encouragement for your writing, then by all means, BUY THIS COLLECTION!

Of course, the Universe being a giant cross-reference, these authors led me to other great books: "Women of the Beat Generation" by Brenda Knight was an eye-opening read about the women of that generation.

Here's a blurb from that book: "In many ways, women of the Beat were cut from the same cloth as the men: fearless, angry, high risk, too smart, restless, highly irregular. They took chances, make mistakes, made poetry, made love, made history. Women of the Beat weren't afraid to get dirty. They were compassionate, careless, charismatic, marching to a different drummer, out of step.

Title: Feel Deeply: Neville Goddard Lectures

Author: Neville Goddard

Narrator: Clay Lomakayu

Format: Unabridged

Length: 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-06-15

Publisher: Majestic

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 44 votes

Genres: Self Development, Motivation & Inspiration

Publisher's Summary:

What you feel deeply is far more important than what you are thinking. You may think about doing something for a long time and never do it, but when you feel something deeply you are spurred to act - and God acts!

He who is the cause of all life acts through the sense of feeling. You can think of a thousand things yet not be moved to act upon one of them. A deep conviction felt is far more important than anything you could ever think.

Let us turn to the first chapter of the epistle of James. "Ask in faith with no doubting, for he who doubts is like the wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. Let not that person believe that a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways, shall receive anything from the Lord. But be ye doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourself. For if you are a hearer only and not a doer, you are like a man who observes his natural face in the mirror and then goes his way, forgetting what he is like. But if you are a doer of the word and not just a forgetful hearer, you will look into the perfect law of liberty, and persevere. That man shall be blessed in all his doings."

Members Reviews:

Yay for Clay!

I love this narrator Clay L. He reads Neville Goddard the best of anyone. When I look for my next Neville Goddard audio book, I search to see if Clay L. Is the narrator. Neville Goddard's books talk all about feelings. Clay L. expresses these feelings through his reading as I imagine the author himself would have. Wonderful!

Short and nice listen

I love the wisdom of Neville and the narration was great. Very good short listen

would recomend

this was so enlightening to me.thank you.I have told friends to buy this book..great book

The Miracle Morning: The Not-So-Obvious Secret Guaranteed to Transform Your Life Before 8 AM, by Hal Elrod, is a self-help book that explores the key point that the start of a person's day not only sets the tone for that day but also has a profound impact on the rest of a person's life. Indeed, Elrod explains that 95 percent of people struggle their entire lives because they fail to work on personal development, fail to start their days off right, and fail to choose to live differently....

Strait to the points.

I really liked this overview of the book. I'm at a point in my life that needed something simple and short like this. The advice are things we hear all the time but having it organized in a step by step process really makes it feel achievable.

This book will change your life BUT

This book will change your life by the author presents it in a way that makes it seem as if the miracle morning is the only way for you to get more power and momentum and The right frame of mind to lift off your day.

The author is very correct about making an hour at the beginning of each day to focus on mind body and soul!

The author comes across not as a personal development guru or a teacher but rather someone who is sharing their passion from a personal triumphant victory! Because the author is not trying to sell you another program or is a teacher of this philosophy the material comes across as very one sided in the way that you must follow the authors formula in order for you to have success in your day or morning.

The person I was listening to the audio with felt the same way. The content is good if you can't let go of the authors point of view as he explains that his process is the only process.

Short and Sweet

I like this short synopsis. It gives the jist of the full book, making it easier for the listener to decide to listen- or not. It's a quick listen, which I especially like for when listening with kids, as they can grasp the important points if the book without devoting hours to read or listen.

Such wonderful information given in a way that keeps your interest. Well done. I thoughly enjoyed it over and over. Wish more of her books were available here.

Based on anecdotes not on science and experiments

No

How did the narrator detract from the book?

No comment

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Heal Your PTSD?

No Comment

Any additional comments?

This book can be potential dangerous for ptsd "victims"

It is based on anecdotes from personal experiences, you won't learn anything useful from this book.

Please consult books based on science and experiments, I recommend reading a book on how your brain works.

Then read titles like predictable irrational, the hidden gorilla, you are not so smart, to get an insight in to the human mind,

and then dig up the latest science papers and results on treating ptsd.

Your mind is not built to make you happy; it's built to help you survive. So far, it's done a great job! But in the process, it may have developed some bad habits, like avoiding new experiences or scrounging around for problems where none exist. Is it any wonder that worry, bad moods, and self-critical thoughts so often get in the way of enjoying life?

Based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), The User's Guide to the Human Mind is a road map to the puzzling inner workings of the human mind, replete with exercises for overriding the mind's natural impulses toward worry, self-criticism, and fear, and helpful tips for acting in the service of your values and emotional well-being - even when your mind has other plans.

Life changing

I've read many books on anxiety... this book drastically helped my anxiety and I continue to read it every time I need a little reminder or feel my anxiety coming back. It's amazing and well worth a read if your struggling with anxious thoughts. If I could only read one book the rest of my life... I'd be this book!!!!!!!

Incredibly unique & great.

I will be implementing a lot from this book! Probably the most influencial book in my library.

Very repetitive

What would have made The User's Guide to the Human Mind better?

The central message is that our brains are designed to worry in order to keep us safe. This author repeats this same message over and over again in the entire book and it's incredibly boring. Do they assume us readers/listeners are dumb? If so, he really doesn't understand how the mind works.

Would you ever listen to anything by Shawn T. Smith again?

hell no

Recommended

This is the only psychology book I can recommend without qualification. A must read for humans.

Members Reviews:

Who BANNED these secrets?

Would you try another book from Daniel Smith and/or Jennifer Howe?

Nope. The author offers no new insights and the narration nearly put me to sleep.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Some other LoA book.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jennifer Howe?

Practically anyone.

Could you see Banned Law of Attraction Secrets: Understanding the Reason Why the Law of Attraction Hasn't Worked for You in Your Life and How to Change the Results being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No way. More like an infomercial.

Any additional comments?

No one, that's who. The author just uses "banned" and "secrets" to sell titles. There was nothing new in here about the Law of Attraction that I haven't read in a dozen other books. I did take a few notes, but I would have returned it if I'd paid full price or used a credit.
