Dan Harris Biography

Dan Harris is a former co-anchor for the weekend edition of "Good Morning America" on ABC News, as well as a former correspondent for such broadcasts as "Nightline" and "World News Tonight." Harris is also the author of "10% Happier," a #1 New York Times best-selling book about a fidgety, skeptical news anchor who stumbles upon meditation. This ancient practice — too long associated exclusively with hippies and robed gurus — has been shown by modern science to boost resilience focus, creativity, emotional intelligence, and overall mental and physical health. With meditation and mindfulness now being embraced by executives, athletes, educators and entertainers, Harris has become a leading voice for pushing for the practice into the mainstream, using plain English and dry humor. He has spoken in front of a variety of audiences—corporations, health and wellness organizations, and schools and universities.

In "10% Happier," Harris tells his story as only a reporter can: through deep research, tough questions, and a healthy dose of irony. The book is part investigation and part immersive journalism: one man’s accidental quest to boost his happiness quotient without losing his professional drive. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America’s spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

The app co-founded by Harris — called 10% Happier: Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics — mixes the irreverence of the book with simple, practical, down-to-earth instructions. Users get short, daily videos, in which he discusses the practice with some of the world’s greatest teachers. The app also comes with a personal coach, who can answer questions and keep users accountable.

10% Happier is also available in podcast form, and features in-depth conversations about meditation and happiness with celebrities, doctors, scholars, and other icons, including the Dalai Lama. Harris’ latest book, Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics, was released in December 2018 and immediately found its way onto the best-seller list.

Harris has received Murrow and Emmy awards for his reporting. Prior to joining ABC, he was in local news in Boston and Maine.

Harris grew up outside of Boston and currently lives with his wife, Bianca, and their son, Alexander, in New York City.
