Dan Harris

Follow With and For wherever you're listening.

My own mind.

My favorite thing I ever wrote was the first line to my first book, which was, the voice in my head is an asshole.

And I think that is true.

I think it's true for many people.

Each week, my guest answers questions about their life, questions pulled from a deck of cards.

They're allowed to skip one question and to flip one back on me.

The next time you're in a spiral of anxiety, ask yourself this question.

Is this useful?

We often and very quickly cross the line between constructive anguish and useless rumination.

We were colleagues for a while at ABC, and then several years later we both ended up leaving our news jobs.

I started this very show, and Dan created the incredibly successful podcast 10% Happier, based on his book of the same name.

He's generous and wise and the only Buddhist I know who can drop the F word into a mantra, and somehow it works.

I'm so happy to welcome Dan Harris to Wildcard.

I love that.

That's my innovation in the worlds of the Dharma.

That's your value add to the Dharma.

We're just going to start with memories.

First three cards.

I hold three up, and you pick randomly.
