Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
10% Happier
Dan Harris · 2014
🎙 Narrated by Dan Harris (author-narrated)
78/100
👍 Worth It
Dan Harris makes meditation feel doable for even the most skeptical listener, and his own on-air panic attack makes for one heck of an opening hook. Just know there's some rough language and references to his past drug use woven through the memoir. He narrates it himself with a newsman's polish, and it's a genuinely fun, worthwhile listen.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Some strong/profane language and references to past cocaine use — worth flagging for sensitive or younger listeners. We still scored it 78; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.

🎙 Narration: excellent Author-narrated with a broadcast journalist's polish — witty, candid, self-deprecating delivery well suited to the memoir.
