NYU is Partnering with the 10% Happier App!
10% Happier is a clear, simple approach to meditation with bestselling author Dan Harris and the most respected teachers and scientists on the planet. As an NYU community member, you have access to a suite of classes and meditations absolutely free. Your access will get you a subset of what's available with a full subscription to the app. It includes three full courses with two of the world's leading meditation teachers—The Basics with Joseph Goldstein, Focus with Sharon Salzberg, and Compassion with Joseph Goldstein—as well as about three-dozen of the most played meditation tracks, which can be found by looking for those meditations without lock icons on them in the app.
