Dan Harris Biography
Dan Harris is an author, journalist, and podcast host with a career in broadcast news and mindfulness. Harris served as an anchor and correspondent for ABC News, hosting programs such as "Nightline," and reporting from Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti, Cambodia, and the Amazon. He covered major events including Hurricane Katrina, the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, and conflicts in Afghanistan, Israel, Gaza, and Iraq. Harris received an Edward R. Murrow Award and four News & Documentary Emmy Awards for his journalism.
Harris experienced a pivotal moment after a nationally televised panic attack on "Good Morning America." This event led him to explore meditation as a method for managing anxiety and stress, despite initial skepticism. In his book, Harris details how he balanced meditation with the demands of a career in television news.
His book, "10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Really Works – a True Story," became a number one New York Times bestseller. Harris also created the "Ten Percent Happier" podcast, which consistently ranks among the top podcasts in the health and wellness space. He authored a follow-up book, "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics: A 10% Happier How-To Book." His TED Talk contributed to the growth of the mindfulness movement.
Harris transitioned from ABC News to focus on mindfulness education and content full-time. On his podcast, he interviews meditation teachers, scientists, and public figures, discussing topics such as mindfulness, meditation, mental health, productivity, and science-based approaches to well-being. Harris maintains ownership of the "10% Happier" podcast and developed the "10% with Dan Harris" app for iOS and Android. In 2026, Harris joined MS NOW to host two member-exclusive series focused on mental well-being and navigating the nonstop news cycle, "The Week in Sanity with Dan Harris" and "Never Worry Alone with Dan Harris."
Harris has spoken at organizations such as Google and shared mindfulness practices on ABC News, NPR, and "Good Morning America." His work centers on providing practical, evidence-based tools for mental resilience and well-being, positioning him as a leading figure in mindfulness, meditation, and mental health education.
