Dan Harris was a TV news correspondent who began using drugs as he adjusted to returning from covering the war in Afghanistan. After he had a panic attack on the air, he discovered mindfulness meditation to manage his anxiety.
This is a very readable introduction to mindfulness meditation, including simple instructions to get started, if you've never explored the topic before. I've read a bit written by Jon Kabat-Zinn, one of the earliest and best-known mindfulness meditation teachers and researchers in the U.S., so early on in the book, I recognized where Harris was going. Experienced meditators may find it a bit too basic and his journey tedious.
