I’m doing something similar with my phone wallpapers! I have a dozen or so rotating daily. One of them is “is this useful” and another fave Goldstein one of mine to help with mindfulness is “sit and know that you’re sitting”. Helps ground me.
Greetings all from the UAE 🇦🇪. Making the adjustment to Substack (which I love-a regular user) and our new reality. Kinda feel like my parents divorced. As Dan said, new experiences and change…a guarantee. Question for the DH team, it may be difficult with time difference to sit in on live experiences. Will you be recording so I can community gathering after? Thanks and break a leg Dan. Big fan of the team
Hi Michele, great question! The chat today is all text and will stay there, as I think Dan said somewhere else "until the sun swallows the earth. I think?" And when we start live video AMAs, those will be available for paid subscribers to view at any time after as well. Hopefully the timing will work for you to able to join a few of these!
I want to throw a feature request into the mix (which I have no clue if it’s even possible). I’d love to have an option where you read your emails. I love the content but I suck at processing written content and the automated voice is cringe! Regardless, I’ll for sure be listening because the content is awesome. Thanks for doing this!
I always love listening and learning from the magical mindfulness trio! Please keep gathering together and bringing us your wisdom. Next time, maybe add kazoos!
I’m so excited for this next chapter - and from the comments the last few days, it looks like you’ve already started to create a community. :) This is a newbie question: is there a way to access the chat without downloading the substack app? Congrats Dan and team - I hope you all can take a deep breath now that you’ve gone live and are seeing so much support and love for all you do 💕
This list of 3 is exactly what many of us are looking for. Hopefully we dive more into this and maybe we can even find ways to seek them out through your sub, Dan.
This was such a great episode. I have been dealing with that anxiety vortex and there’s something reassuring that I’m not the only one out there suffering but in the knowledge that “this too shall pass.”
Thanks and looking forward to hearing you and your “team” in person during the Meditation Party in a few weeks. Appreciate all the helpful resources while being on a grief journey. Be well and good luck with your pivot ! 🙏
Amazing article! Community is everything! Intention is also everything as is self awareness. I love to add writing to my guided meditation personally (at the end). I started a live online weekly heart centred meditation with the vision of raising heart- centred living and heart consciousness, enabling more people to connect with their hearts to activate live from within. I’ll be honest, I feel sometimes the message falls on deaf ears or that I’m not quite speaking the correct language. Most people valuing productivity and result and what I’m offering is softness, space and maybe even naming an emotion, love, that is foreign to some or that so many have protected themselves from. And yet it is my truth 💜
Hearing your podcast announcement that you were no longer part of the app that you helped create pissed me off - and I was driving - not a good mix. I felt that you were being cheated without even knowing any details of course. Your input and the teachers you have introduced me to have been immeasurably helpful. It even helped me realize I was in an abusive marriage (I got sent to marriage counseling 4 times by my ex-wife to “fix myself and twice to fix myself and my stepson-her own child!). Then the anxiety came; I had never even heard of Substack, just a short stack or tall stack of pancakes! I’m grateful for your help and your honesty and will continue to ride along the journey wherever it may wander. I think secretly you are a physician just like me, your parents and your wife-you didn’t know it - and you’re smarter!🤓
Hi Matt! I work with Dan, thanks for the question. The podcast itself won't be moving and is available on all platforms, including YouTube music - here's the link:
Just out of curiosity, this episode wasn’t released on the Happier App today, another episode was. I usually listen to your podcasts on the Happier App. Is this a future release on the app?
His 34 minute explanation was released on the app under the podcast and he said his podcast would be available in all of the areas that the listeners access it so it sounded like the Happier app was going to keep that as one of their podcasts. And two more new Dan Harris podcasts have been released since his announcement on the Happier app. The one that was released today is not the one that he talked about in this thread and that’s why I was wondering if maybe there’s a lag on the app now. I’m hoping they keep his podcast.. it’s one of the reasons I’m on that app and why I was planning on keeping it. Hopefully he will read this and clarify for us.
Hi Justin! You can still listen to the podcast in the App - they release a week early which is why this one might be a little harder to find. But it came out on the 6th.
Thanks! A while ago I wrote “is this useful“ and put it in my clear phone case so I see it when my phone is turned over.
It’s a great reminder to notice where my mind is wandering off to and checking in with myself.
Is this useful? 🥰

Love this idea - rotating reminders. ✌🏼
Maybe that’s my next tattoo!

Thanks for making the transition with me/us! And hanging in there with a new technology. Appreciate it very much.

This is a great suggestion. Let me give it a think.
I am excited about your new chapter, Dan. I’m sticking with you! 😊

I believe you can access it through the open web, yes.

How much meditation is guided meditation and how much is unguided?

Thanks for the post, going to check out the podcast now from Substack player.
Just out of curiosity will the podcast go to YouTube music/Google podcasts?
I normally listen there, but can't find this one 😊🧘🏻♂️
Thanks again

Hi Caroline, thanks for getting back to me. Thanks for the link too.
I wasn't able to find the latest meditation party episode on there. Is it coming soon? Appreciate the help, best of luck with the new site 😊
Just out of curiosity, this episode wasn’t released on the Happier App today, another episode was. I usually listen to your podcasts on the Happier App. Is this a future release on the app?
It actually was released a week early, on the 6th! So it's in there.
Thank you! I thought the topics sound familiar!! I did listen to it already 🤦🏼♀️
His 34 minute explanation was released on the app under the podcast and he said his podcast would be available in all of the areas that the listeners access it so it sounded like the Happier app was going to keep that as one of their podcasts.

Dan is no longer involved with that app so I doubt future episodes will be in the app.
Hi Justin! You can still listen to the podcast in the App - they release a week early which is why this one might be a little harder to find. But it came out on the 6th.
Good to know. Thank you.
They will be in the app for the the next few months, yes.
I understand that but his 10% Happier podcast is still available through the app 😊
I’m assuming future episodes after his announcement won’t be. Just speculation though.
