Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics

ABC News anchor Dan Harris has developed my favorite new mindfulness meditation app, called 10% Happier – Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics. The basics are largely available for free and the rest can be unlocked with a $10 month membership. I haven’t yet done a full comparison with Headspace, but at first glance, I’d say that it is a richer mindfulness meditation experience. The app features a series of mindfulness instruction courses developed with a variety of meditation experts, such as Joseph Goldstein, Sharon Salzberg, George Mumford and others. I will report further after I have had a chance to experience this app in greater detail.

Dan Harris also wrote a book about his experience discovering mindfulness meditation after experiencing a stress and drug related panic attack on national television. I am reading the book, also called 10% Happier, and will report on that separately. So far, I am enjoying it.
