Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics
by Dan Harris, Jeff Warren and Carlye Adler
The follow-up to 10% Happier: a road-trip book that tackles the excuses people give for not meditating, no time, cannot sit still, it is weird, with short practices from teacher Jeff Warren for each. It is funny, unpretentious and useful for people who have tried and quit.
Read it if…
you have tried meditation, failed, and suspect the problem is you.
Skip it if…
you already meditate regularly; it is for the stalled beginner.
Three things you will actually use
- One minute counts; the streak matters more than the length.
- Meet the excuse with a practice.
- Self-compassion is the fuel, not discipline.
Do this first
Do the one-minute 'welcome to the party' practice today: notice everything, judge nothing.
Our verdict
