Dan Harris, ABC News Journalist, Nightline Anchor, co-anchor for Good Morning America, New York Times #1 Bestselling author of 10% Happier and co-founder of the 10% Happier Meditation App shares his story of coming from a high achieving family, but still missing something - one day his eyes opened up to a whole new world on a trip to Europe where he saw the Hotel Regina in Paris for the first time - a place that represented beauty, success and excellence. Dan has been voraciously pursuing his own version of Hotel Regina, an allegory for success - a desire for achievement that has brought him from almost becoming a Hollywood music video producer to a household name across America as a news anchor, bestselling author of 10% Happier and co-founder of the 10% Happier meditation movement. In Dan’s words, when he wrote the book he “…did not perceive that 10% Happier was going to be so f*cking successful that it would take over his life…” Dan shares how he overcame toxic behaviors in the corporate world and what he does today to maintain a sense of balance. Truly humble and self-aware today, Dan’s personality shines as Jake Dunlap uncovers things you never knew about Dan Harris and the voracious hunger for success that lives inside of the world's most successful people. About Dan Dan Harris is a co-anchor the weekend edition of Good Morning America on ABC News, as well as a correspondent for such broadcasts as Nightline and World News Tonight. He is also the author of 10% Happier, a #1 New York Times best-selling book about a fidgety, skeptical news anchor who stumbles upon meditation. Recently, Harris launched an app specifically designed to teach meditation to doubters and busy people. This ancient practice – too long associated exclusively with hippies and robed gurus – has been shown by modern science to boost resilience, focus, creativity, emotional intelligence, and overall mental and physical health. With meditation and mindfulness now being embraced by executives, athletes, educators and entertainers, Harris has become a leading voice for pushing for the practice into the mainstream, using plain English and dry humor. He has spoken in front of a variety of audiences—corporations, health and wellness organizations, and schools and universities.
