Editor's Note (March 2026): This episode contains a brief reference to Deepak Chopra. Since this episode was published, documents released by the Department of Justice have revealed Deepak Chopra's connection to Jeffrey Epstein. We find these revelations deeply troubling and do not condone any association with Epstein or his activities. Please know that we have removed our interview with Deepak Chopra from our library. --- Dan Harris talks beginner meditation with anxiety, his panic attack on tv, writing a book about mindfulness and how his life changed 10 years ago. Now the tables have turned: Dan is interviewed by two of his producers. This is the kickoff episode of our upcoming series celebrating the 10th anniversary of Dan’s book, where two of Dan’s producers, DJ Cashmere and Lauren Smith, interview him. We talk about the story behind the book, what it was like to have a panic attack on national television, why Dan decided to admit it publicly, how the success of the book utterly transformed his life, and what he learned… Both while writing the book and subsequently. We talk about concepts such as “Respond, not react,” why our faults aren’t our fault (but they are our responsibility), and whether we all have the capacity to change. DJ and Lauren will even weigh in on how they think Dan’s doing on the score.
