Ep. 37: Taming the Voice in Your Head

Award winning ABC News correspondent Dan Harris, co-anchor of“Nightline” and a weekend anchor on”Good Morning America” has covered wars and presidential campaigns, but it was a panic attack live on the air in front of 5 million viewers that forced him to face his biggest challenge yet: taming the voice in his head. Dan is the author of a new book: “10% Happier: How I Tamed The Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help that Actually Works – A True Story”. He'll talk to us about his journey to reduce stress and anxiety, first by self-medicating with drugs and then ultimately finding the solution in mindfulness and meditation. We're also joined by Dr. Mark Albanese, the Medical Director of Addictions at Cambridge Health Alliance and faculty member at Harvard Medical School’s Division on Addictions.
