Plus: How to find practices that work for you, what “mindfulness” actually means, and a new audiobook out now.
Sebene Selassie has been meditating for decades, survived cancer three times, and still says the practice isn’t a magic bullet. That honesty is kind of the point.
Today we’re sharing a sneak preview of Dan’s new audiobook, Even You Can Meditate, co-authored with Sebene. Think of it as a practical rescue plan for anyone who feels too distracted, overwhelmed, or skeptical to start (or restart) a meditation practice.
In this preview, Dan and Seb cover:
Why “mindfulness” is actually a bit of a misnomer — and what the practice is really about
What meditation can and can’t do for you (it won’t solve everything, but the benefits tend to kick in faster than you’d expect)
How to find the style that works for your specific brain, body, and life — including if sitting still feels impossible
The role of intention, and why getting clear on your “why” can become a surprisingly powerful engine for keeping a practice going
The five hindrances — the predictable challenges that come up for almost every meditator — and how to work with them instead of against them
Even You Can Meditate is out now on Audible. Listen now at audible.com/danharris.
And mark your calendar: Dan and Seb are running a free five-day meditation challenge March 23–27 on Dan’s app, 10% with Dan Harris. Download it at app.danharris.com.
