"10% Happier" Author Dan Harris to Keynote CancerForward Forum

HOUSTON, TEXAS (PRWEB) October 27, 2014 -- CancerForward: The Foundation For Cancer Survivors will present ABC News anchor and New York Times best-selling author, Dan Harris in Houston Wednesday, November 12 in the first Texas stop of his national book tour. Harris’ recently-released book “10% Happier” tells of his 2004 live-on-national-TV panic attack that led to Dan’s personal experience with daily meditation.

“The excitement over Dan Harris visiting Houston for CancerForward is palpable. His message about meditation is of-the-moment, and is of great interest to many here in the world’s largest medical center.” Beth Sanders Moore, Founder, CancerForward

Harris will keynote We Can Go Forward, CancerForward’s annual forum for cancer survivors and caregivers, where he’ll share how meditation and mindfulness have entered the mainstream cancer care continuum. Harris argues a meditation practice of even five minutes a day offers a way to get happier that is truly achievable. After locating research that suggests meditation lowers blood pressure and essentially rewires the brain, Harris has enlightened an underreported world of CEOs, athletes, physicians and military leaders who now use it for increased calm, focus and stress-management.

Serving as 2014 chairs of We Can Go Forward are New York-based fashion designer Bill Hamilton, Houston philanthropist Denise Monteleone, PaperCity Magazine executive editor Kate Stukenberg, and Beth Sanders Moore, founder and chair of CancerForward. Said Moore, “The excitement over Dan Harris visiting Houston for CancerForward is palpable. His message about meditation is of-the-moment, and is of great interest to many here in the world’s largest medical center.”

With the goal of raising awareness of restorative cancer caregiving, the event also marks the second annual presentation of The H. Rudy Teichman Anchor of Strength Award to a couple widely-known as compassionate cancer caregivers: Rolanette and Berdon Lawrence. Thousands of cancer survivors are served annually through The Rolanette and Berdon Lawrence Bone Disease Program of Texas, created by a visionary gift of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence and operated in a unique collaboration between Baylor College of Medicine and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The forum is funded by a grant from The H. Rudy Teichman Family.

Harris is the son of two Harvard-based oncologists. He currently lives in New York City with his wife, Bianca, a pulmonary oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
