ABOUT THE TEN PERCENT HAPPIER PODCAST
Dan Harris is a fidgety, skeptical journalist who had a panic attack on live national television, which led him to try something he otherwise never would have considered: meditation. He went on to write the bestselling book, 10% Happier. On this show, Dan talks with eminent meditation teachers, top scientists, and even the odd celebrity. Guests include everyone from His Holiness the Dalai Lama to Brené Brown to Karamo from Queer Eye. On some episodes, Dan ventures into the deep end of the pool, covering subjects such as enlightenment and psychedelics. On other episodes, it’s science-based techniques for issues such as anxiety, productivity, and relationships. Dan's approach is seemingly modest, but secretly radical: happiness is a skill you can train, just like working your bicep in the gym. Your progress may be incremental at first, but like any good investment, it compounds over time.

Rick is the real deal

[@professormurdoc1359]

I may drop out of grad school after listening to this and finally feeling like I can listen to that voice within that says “you know you don’t want to do this!”

[@kristin2040]

you can always go back. for now, go with your gut (your 2nd brain) and your heart.

[@lukedmoss]

Genuinely curious~ What are you studying? (and how did it start?)

[@2brickmusic]

You don’t have to drop out. Don’t exercise quitting. Following thru is a very important habit to form. Plus you can always chase your dreams after you lock in your back up plan. I’m not saying to not throw your hard work away but in your case, it sounds like you are almost finished. Starting over is hard, especially if you are chasing a dream that has less structure than what ur studying. Also u can always find a creative avenue for ur current study. Follow thru!

[@josiahamaze]

Follow your heart forget youtube comments

[@joshvikoren6809]

Yes brother! Lots to explore out there

[@dcgermick]

This interview is a gift. I feel like I just watched a Rocky movie and am ready to run through the streets straight into the studio to make the most glorious thing I can humanly muster

[@rend7267]

great analogy✨ i can hear the theme🎶💪🏽🎶

[@lyricallyamazing777]

His ENERGY Is Definitely Contagious In The ✨Greatest Way

[@josiahamaze]

That's the opposite point imo

[@AlysonArchibequeDavis-kv1bx]

The book feels like this. It’s excellent. 🥰

[@therealb3yond]

There is a lot wrong on social media but interviews like this make a lot right ! thanks

[@blacksquidGH]

OMG, Rick Rubin is super amazing and a genius. The world needs more men like him. I can't stop listening to his explanations to things. I am going to listen to all his interviews and definitely buy his book. Super great guy.

[@AlysonArchibequeDavis-kv1bx]

🥰

[@davidbarnes6410]

I’ve got the audio book. It’s amazing.

[@alexbrown1170]

Thanks for the overview. I will order Ricks book. I’m stuck and I have my Art. It’s been very slow to come out of me. The freeze of my childhood trauma is thawing. I’m 69. I saw Hendrix play live in Seattle at the Colusium and now I play his leads on my 6 string Bass. I’m finding my way out thru channeling his energy and music- still in my world the Greatest. Someone had to do it!

[@TenPercentHappier]

You can do it!

[@kristin2040]

I just got it yesterday and I've been pouring over it all day sitting in the forest. I made sure to get a paperback and im one of those types that makes notes and highlights areas because I can tell it's a book I'm going to re-read several times. Very inspiring

[@absolute6422]

it is really great that you found an artistic outlet that you enjoy. Happy playing!

[@henriettahope2209]

When i hear Rick Rubin, I'm aiming to work with him. Still love this rich conversation thanks again.

[@emptydog1109]

[@TenPercentHappier]

[@AllisonBalanc]

Such a legend. Love this

Discipline and grind, never thought this way about meditation

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thanks for sharing!

[@PaulMahabir]

Rick says it like it is. Some great insights into the creative process and the power of meditation and authenticity.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Yes, he does!

[@henriettahope2209]

I could n"t be happier finding a place that feels like my place; my creativity ;my highest offering from all of me then and now and Im excited to see what comes. this is awesome conversation thank you.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Well said!

[@thedudelives]

Thank you. This perspective was incredibly encouraging and useful.

[@MrPoonomatic]

Rick gives us a great road to a full life.

[@henriettahope2209]

love this conversation wams my heart

[@AlexaOleksa]

57:28 i don't take any drungs, but i smoked pot like 7-10 times over last 20 years. I remember how i after smoking was going home and that night streetlight made me go graby sctech book and do watercolour sctet h under the rain) i did 3 scetches that night. But then, i understood that feeling i got was same that i get when i get into my "art zone", only I remember everything, have full control and then can recreate that texhnic in contrast to haze drugged scteching that happened as accident amd though i love the result, i understood that i can reach same state of mind that will be more beneficial in long run without dopings, and it is much more satisfying.

[@TenPercentHappier]

[@TenPercentHappier]

They are a ball of fun together! Thanks for sharing.

[@emptydog1109]

I am 65. I’ve been listening to Neil Young a long time. I saw him live in San Francisco when he did that live album he made into a movie. I saw that show.. one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life to this day. I don’t think Neil Young ever made a single song or a single album with the idea this will be a hit, ever. I don’t think it’s in him …

[@TenPercentHappier]

Wow, what a night that must have been! Thanks for sharing.

[@RichieBankzz]

Im the rick Rubin of music 🎶

[@the.harrison.andrew]

Incredible podcast 👏 Great questions, amazing answers. Both of you were great 🎉❤

This was great! I love Rick Rubin and TM

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thanks for listening!

[@osanda2313]

Heavy metal chaos has sprung from silent concentrated efforts 😮

[@josephashenofsky8266]

Epic stuff

[@TenPercentHappier]

He's the best!

[@Here4TheHeckOfIt]

Terrific interview! Thanks for this 🙏

[@TenPercentHappier]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@givepeaceachant108]

Great interview, great man! 💕☮️💕

[@TenPercentHappier]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SIRBENMARX]

well done, congrats to all involved

[@mgk_moloko]

❤

[@robertdintsch1583]

Thx!

[@TenPercentHappier]

Thank you!

[@josiahamaze]

That was explained perfectly 17:45

[@SGTSpliffer]

Jack kornfield would be a good interview. Thanks for this channel .... A fresh view.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Great suggestion...we love Jack! Keep an eye out for him later this year on the show!

[@josiahamaze]

28:58 Bro Rick makes so much sense with everything he says. He isn't smart hes in tune pun intended

[@silver2zilver]

This guys a fuckin genius

[@TheCALMInstitute]

Just ask him!

[@henriettahope2209]

the heart of truth is not disillusional.

[@mikegregory222]

WOW mom MoMo !!! Clip it.. node.....

[@asgard3118]

I don't know TM. ButbI know 😅 Nothing never about the tool. Here and now it is. I know, Rubin knows this. What and how ever this record might be shaped.

[@danielh9831]

3:05 Starts

[@emptydog1109]

I’ve heard artist say, over and over something like “you have all the time in the world to make your first album” and then they get signed and they have to produce

[@TenPercentHappier]

Interesting!

[@TeezyK]

Something happens when you show up

[@Meta4Monky]

Dave, let's go methodphoracle in our next book. Does it cost to have a friendly non recorded phone call? 😅 Really tho. Would be surreal to talk to you or anyone else about this shit.

[@Anorectic.Bumblebee]

is there something better than happiness?

[@stempest]

1 or 2 phases at a time. 5 to 8 hours per phases. EVERYONES SIMILAR

[@damon123jones]

with the exception of om petty, those bands are akin to eating from vending machines

[@therobertjconley]

At about 34:00 Dan confuses instinct with intuition.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

35:00

[@sagegolf]

Fundamental difference is Rick knows it’s a game and he’s playing it. Dan thinks it’s a real competition of winners and losers and has developed an intellect to debunk the players and the game. Must be exhausting at some point

[@zexnynex777]

8:59

[@eweesplace]

A great supposed sophomore slump was Pinkerton by Weezer. It's now hands down the "true fan" cult classic.

[@josiahamaze]

34:09 Thats a very interesting and kind of disturbing fact that he asked that.

[@TenPercentHappier]

Dan and Rick are quite the duo!

[@griffinbaker860]

Why not 110% happier? Is enlightenment possible or not? If so, shouldn’t that be the goal?

[@juliahunsinger3070]

10% is a S.M.A.R.T goal. Enlightenment happens when you are here-now.

[@mikegregory222]

Pay a ten tiin...tion...ooooi. Spear it!! L is Ten it!! Wave Weaver. Rider!! ❤️ LJ U! Or hands... Feel it...

[@asgard3118]

Yes! But TM is just a brand name 😅 we are talking about awareness...

[@2brickmusic]

Tm is an abbreviation for transcendental meditation. It’s not a brand name. Transcendence has been around for ever

[@infinityiznow]

Thoughts stop

[@user-co4zq5ex2m]

Ha what did Johnny say about me enlighten me if you would

[@richy31b]

I was gonna say, what about Eminem? Berzerk

[@josiahamaze]

26:25 doesn't sound ridiculous at all in terms on real truth

[@kingaroik8453]

🩷

[@markdyballuk]

fucking common sense AT LAST

[@brentlesheim7084]

Why did the interviewer have to use the “F” word? It takes away from the quality of the interview.

[@vincentsanregret124]

😂

[@brentlesheim7084]

😆

[@infinityiznow]

Probably just to fuhk with you

It's literally physical, the sun...not metaphysical whatsoever. The sun is literally going through your work. Moreso in the day than night. SMH Yes I believe in the metaphysical and the sun is something that you can actually feel, very physical.

[@TenPercentHappier]

We appreciate your take!
