Review: 10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works by Dan Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

One question I often struggled to find an answer to is how to balance equanimity with ambition? Meditation does make you focus on the present moment, and get you rid of desires, the dilemma then is how to balance ambition with your peace of mind.
I appreciate the attempt of Dan Harris to answer this question but the explanation was very short. (last 2 chapters)Often the writers who write about the "Now" concept don't have a regular job so they have more freedom over life and can practice this concept. What I want to know is how one can apply these concepts in a regular job. Dan Harris is one such person who is a correspondent at a news channel.

The writing was really good and I didn't feel like putting this book down.
