10% Happier with Dan Harris · When You Don't Know What You Actually Want: How To Say No, When To Say Yes, and The One Question That Cuts Through It | Yara Shahidi · 31 Jul 2026 podcast

Sometimes I have to have conversations about who is this work for?

This work self-servingly is for us and for right now and is necessary for right now.

And at its most, you know, kind of...

egalitarian it's for the future and it's working towards something that we may not be able to see but know is necessary and then on a less esoteric level there's certain just practical things of being like the last couple years I've been tracking what we call the hard yes list and this came from it was such a great thing being able to work alongside

your business partner, who also happens to be your friend, who you also happen to be related to.

We have a lot of great life talks.

And one thing that we were figuring out as we talk quality of life, I realized for people that may not know, I'm talking about Carrie Shahidi, aka my mother, aka my partner in all things wonderful.

And so we started developing what we just call the hard yes list of things that bring you joy.

And it can really range.

It can range from a color, a food, a person, a conversation you had.

And the thought was you have to build your arsenal of things to fall back on.

and have that in your back pocket at all times.

And it was so nice to be able to, throughout the years, kind of contribute to this list so that when I was hitting those moments, it's not so much always about persevering through those moments, but being like, what can I do right now that provides an actual material reset for me?

And because I've been paying attention through the year of having those moments of, oh, let me write this down.

I'm at a concert and I feel so filled up.

I love live music or...

I've been prioritizing getting coffee with friends and this has brought me this feeling.

Or, you know, Yara, you need to stop wearing all black when you're feeling down because I know how important color is to lifting your mood.

Had all of these really cool mix of things to turn back to.

And so that's one thing that I love that I feel like everybody has the ability to do for themselves, which just starts with basic observation of your day to day.
