Dan Harris
The facts do not identify a single most-cited work for Dan Harris, so the structural recipe's opening requirement cannot be fulfilled from the fact sheet alone. Rather than invent a title, the biography will open with his most concrete professional role and proceed accordingly.
Dan Harris is a journalist and television presenter who served as an anchor for Nightline and as a co-anchor of the weekend edition of Good Morning America, both positions held at ABC News during his career in American broadcasting.
Harris was born on July 26, 1971, in Newton and is a citizen of the United States. He was educated at Colby College before entering journalism, a field in which he worked primarily in the English language. His career took him to ABC News, where he held on-air roles across more than one program, anchoring the late-night newsmagazine Nightline as well as co-anchoring the weekend edition of Good Morning America.
His tenure at ABC News placed him before national audiences in two distinct broadcast formats: the long-form, news-driven structure of Nightline and the morning format of Good Morning America. Both assignments reflected a career built on television news presenting at a national level within one of the major American broadcast networks.
Harris has since retired from his professional work in journalism and television presenting. The Library of Congress catalogs him under the authorized label "Harris, Dan, 1971-," a designation that places his career within the public record. His time at ABC News, spanning roles at both Nightline and the weekend edition of Good Morning America, represents the documented scope of his work as a journalist and television presenter.

I suspect that if the practice could be denuded of all the spiritual preening and straight-out-of-a-fortune-cookie lingo such as “sacred spaces,” “divine mother,” and “holding your emotions with love and tenderness,” it would be attractive to many more millions of smart, skeptical, and ambitious people who would never otherwise go near it.
Imagine a world where people were 10% happier and less reactive. Marriage, parenting, road rage, politics – all would be improved upon. Public health revolutions can happen rapidly.
