10% Happier by Dan Harris - A Review

I liked the honesty in this, especially around anxiety, burnout, and trying to make sense of mindfulness without fully buying into it at first. That angle felt real and relatable, and I appreciated how it tries to make meditation feel less intimidating.

It lost me was in the follow through. It starts strong, but it was repetitive, and the pacing dragged. The meditation parts were interesting at first, but they never really went deep enough to feel super helpful or practical. The name dropping and media references also pulled me out of it and made it feel more like a personal story than something I could actually apply.

Overall, I can see why this works as an introduction to mindfulness, especially if you’re new to it. For me, though, it didn’t have enough depth or fresh insight to really stick. Interesting in parts, but not very impactful.
