After his nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Harris knew he had to make some changes. He realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had propelled him through the ranks of a hypercompetitive business, but had also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out. Eventually Harris stumbled upon an effective way to rein in that voice -- meditation, a tool that research suggests can do everything from lower your blood pressure to 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. --From publisher description.

looking for inner peace

I'm surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this book. Dan Harris has a really funny way of telling his story of how he found self-help gurus and inner peace. Despite whether you are a long-time meditator or just looking to start meditation, I think Harris provides very amusing anecdotes for how he started and continues his practice.
