How To Stop Getting Dragged Around By Your Anxieties, Thought Loops, and Insecurities | Sebene Selassie

How To Stop Getting Dragged Around By Your Anxieties, Thought Loops, and Insecurities | Sebene Selassie

Plus: How to find practices that work for you, what "mindfulness" actually means, and a new audiobook out now.

Sebene Selassie has been meditating for decades, survived cancer three times, and still says the practice isn't a magic bullet. That honesty is kind of the point.

Today we're sharing a sneak preview of Dan's new audiobook, Even You Can Meditate, co-authored with Sebene. Think of it as a practical rescue plan for anyone who feels too distracted, overwhelmed, or skeptical to start (or restart) a meditation practice.

In this preview, Dan and Seb cover:

  • Why "mindfulness" is actually a bit of a misnomer — and what the practice is really about

  • What meditation can and can't do for you (it won't solve everything, but the benefits tend to kick in faster than you'd expect)

  • How to find the style that works for your specific brain, body, and life — including if sitting still feels impossible

  • The role of intention, and why getting clear on your "why" can become a surprisingly powerful engine for keeping a practice going

  • The five hindrances — the predictable challenges that come up for almost every meditator — and how to work with them instead of against them

Even You Can Meditate is out now on Audible. Listen now at audible.com/danharris.

And mark your calendar: Dan and Seb are running a free five-day meditation challenge March 23–27 on Dan's app, 10% with Dan Harris. Download the app at app.danharris.com.
