About Dan Harris:

Dan Harris is renowned for his groundbreaking book, 10% Happier, which has sold more than a million copies and is celebrated as a seminal text on the benefits of meditation. After experiencing a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Harris embarked on a journey of self-discovery. Despite being a lifelong nonbeliever, he explored the realms of spirituality and science, leading to significant personal revelations. He discovered that the incessant voice in his head, once thought to be his greatest asset, was the root of many of his issues. Harris also hosts the top-ranked podcast Ten Percent Happier and has developed a popular meditation app by the same name.

“We’re so honored to have Dan join us this year, and his topic could not be more relevant,” said Colorado Press Association Board President Linda Shapley. “As more newsrooms struggle to stay open, morale among those of us in this industry is at one of its all-time lows. While Dan’s insight won’t necessarily solve all our woes, it can be an important tool to help reframe those tough days we all have.”

Tim Regan-Porter, CEO of the Colorado Press Association, added, “Dan’s tips for managing stress and finding calm are crucial for everyone navigating the chaos of today’s fast-paced and polarized world. His insights resonate far beyond journalism, offering valuable lessons for anyone seeking balance in their work and life.”

Harris’s book provides an approachable introduction to meditation, even converting the most skeptical readers. His insights on taming inner chaos, cultivating empathy, and practicing self-care have resonated widely, making him a pivotal figure in promoting mental well-being.

“An Evening with Dan Harris” is part of Local News Solutions 2024, a larger gathering of local newsrooms and support organizations focused on strengthening local journalism in Colorado. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Colorado Press Association.
