From Krista: I loved being interviewed by Dan Harris as much as I've ever enjoyed being on the other side of the microphone (as the saying goes). He drew things out of me I didn't know I had to say. And I'm so impressed with him as a human being, and what he's created with Ten Percent Happier. I hope you might enjoy this!

- Tuning in to our generative agency
- Her definition of a wise life as distinct from a knowledgeable or accomplished one
- Why she believes it is as important to know what you love as it is to know what you hate
