So Dan Harris's story is kind of the stuff of legend, the kind that terrifies most of us.
An accomplished news anchor in the biggest market in New York City for years, Dan had a panic attack live on air.
It was devastating.
I think so many of us can relate.

Thing is, what these experiences do to and for us is in part about what happens and how we handle that moment.
But I think even more it's about how we allow these experiences to inform us, to change us, to enrich us, even when we thought there was nothing good to come from them.
And that's exactly the path that Dan took.
Recovering over time, he took this journalistic approach to what he'd been through, mounting a now years long quest to understand how we show up in all parts of life.
How we handle uncertainty, high stakes expectations, often wildly unrealistic pressure, perfectionism and anxiety, and how we can explore tools both ancient and cutting edge to effectively rewire our minds and lives.
To not only be able to meet these moments of unexpected and profound disruption with more ease, but also to move through the entirety of our lives, our relationships, struggles and triumphs, with so much more grace and ease.
And this is exactly where we head in todays powerful, raw, honest and insightful conversation.
For Dan, this crisis led to an awakening that set in motion a quest that eventually led him away from his long career as an ABC News anchor and down the path of becoming a Buddhist.
Number one New York Times bestselling author of 10% happier how I tamed my voice in my head, reduced stress without losing my edge, and also eventually ended up founding a company that focuses on what he describes as self help that actually works.
