Dan Harris

I've learned to let my little obsessions not have any or really much impact on the people around me.

And I've learned that the hard way by...

making a lot of dumb decisions or proselytizing to my wife or, you know, getting so into meditation that I would commit so much time to it that I was taking away time from the family.

I just did a lot of dumb shit, and that generally is a good way to learn.

You know, not fun, but a good way to learn.

Funny later, actually, when you talk about it with a microphone.

So I would just think about not trying to... Oh, the cartoon I often think about is the two women having lunch in a New Yorker cartoon.

One of them says to the other, I've been gluten-free for a week and I'm already annoying.

And so...

To just not, you know, oppress other people with your sudden interest in meditation.

Better, as it is often said, it's better to be a Buddha than a Buddhist.

Bro, I'll get that mic taken away from you.

Yeah.

So you mean people want you to go back to being a dick?

No, no.

We were having a full team meeting for my little company the other day, and our CEO was here, Toni.

I heard her say to somebody, yeah, Dan practices what he preaches about 60 to 70% of the time.

So like, yeah, do your best to do better.

And it's not like nowhere is it written that you have to be perfect.

Have we still not answered your question?
