10% Happier by Dan Harris

"Having been dragged kicking and screaming into the present, I'm finally awake enough to see what I could never see in my regular life. Apparently there's no other way to get there than to engage in the tedious work of watching your breath for days. In a way, it makes sense. How could you learn a sport? You do drills. A language? Conjugating endless verbs. A musical instrument? Scales. All the misery of repetition, the horror of sitting here in this hall with these zombies suddenly seems totally worth it." - Dan Harris
