Description

NOT JUST ANOTHER MEDITATION APP Don’t think of Waking Up as a conventional meditation app—think of it as a new operating system for your mind, and a guide to living a better life. We aim to offer a far deeper approach to mindfulness than you’ll find elsewhere—one that fundamentally transforms how you see yourself, and the world around you. But you’ll also discover life-changing, secular wisdom from top scholars and experts, on everything from sleep and doing good in the world to time management and happiness. Waking Up is free for anyone who can’t afford it. We never want money to be the reason why someone can’t benefit from what we’ve built. ***Created by Sam Harris Sam Harris, neuroscientist and best-selling author, built Waking Up to be the resource he wished he’d had when he began exploring meditation over 30 years ago. Sam only includes those practices and insights he’s found to be utterly life-changing. The same is true for the many teachers, scholars, and experts you’ll meet throughout the app. ***A step-by-step approach to mindfulness We’ve heard from thousands of members who say they never really understood meditation until they took our 28-part Introductory Course. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced practitioner, you’ll dive straight into the deep end of real mindfulness, so you don’t waste any time on the surface. ***Learn the true purpose of meditation Meditation is about more than just relieving stress, sleeping better, or improving your focus. While it can help you do all of that, our goal is ultimately to help you open the door to a deeper understanding of yourself. ***A place for serious seekers Explore some of life’s most important questions, on topics like neuroscience, psychedelics, enlightenment, ethics, and Stoicism—from renowned authors and professors like Oliver Burkeman, Michael Pollan, Laurie Santos, Arthur C. Brooks, James Clear, and others. ***In-depth theory and practice Waking Up explains both the theory and the practice of meditation —so you don’t just learn the “how” of mindfulness, but also the “why.” You’ll be guided by prominent figures like Joseph Goldstein, Diana Winston, Adyashanti, Jayasāra, and Henry Shukman, who teach a wide range of contemplative practices, including Vipassana, Zen, Dzogchen, Advaita Vedanta, and more. ***Timeless insights, modern lens Within Waking Up, you’ll find some of the most profound spiritual teachings from throughout history—those that have stood the test of time. And you’ll hear from historic voices like Alan Watts. But we also pressure-test ancient wisdom against modern science, so you won’t find outlandish claims or anything we haven’t found to be empirically true. ***A comprehensive guide Waking Up supports your growth and development in a number of different ways. You’ll find an abundance of useful features, like meditation timers, in-app support messages, an ever-growing audio library, and daily reminders to help bring your mindfulness practice into your life—plus, Waking Up allows you to save all of your meditation sessions to your Apple Health app. “Waking Up is, hands down, the most important meditation guide I’ve ever used.” Physician Peter Attia “If you’ve had trouble getting into meditation, this app is your answer!” -Susan Cain, best-selling author “Waking Up is not an app, it’s a path. It is equal parts a meditation guide, a philosophy master-class and a highly-focused TED Conference.” -Eric Hirschberg, former CEO of ACTIVISION SUBSCRIPTION Subscriptions automatically renew, unless auto-renew is disabled at least 24 hours before the current period ends.

  • App - Great; Tech Support - Nuts

    I don’t know if tech support is AI but if it is, it’s amazingly bad. I’m trying to set up emails and sharing on the family plan, so that individuals get their own notifications about their progress, and that this doesn’t go to other members. TS responses sometimes make very little sense, sometimes contradictory, but definitely there’s a lack of understanding of what I am trying to do. If the AP weren’t so good, so far, I’d be out of here!

    I am 70 years old, a musician and composer. I am gradually losing my eyesight, which means I am in a constant state of adaptation. I started exploring Waking Up in order to establish a regular meditation practice. But what inspires me to add this review is your Theory collection of audible wisdom, a resource I have been able to tap that can get the verbal side of my brain connected the way music does for the rest of it. Thank you.

    Sam Harris is the philosophical genius of our time. His rational world view and meditation has changed my life and will change yours given a chance. Read his books, join his Substack and his podcast.

    By far the best mediation app. Teaches you not to achieve some ephemeral state, but how to live well in life, right here and now. Plus, tons of theory and conversations to keep you learning. Highly recommend ‘Deep Rest’ NSDR sessions with Kelly.

    I have tried meditation in the past, but did not really GET IT. I had a positive experience with a colleague leading a Friday mediation practice and decided to commit more time to meditation. Working through the intro course and just truly love the physical and mental refresh daily meditation practice has given me. I received a full scholarship as well which helps me during a transition period in my life. Very grateful for this app

    That’s an example of what apps should be like. Works as a charm, filled with great content and easy to use. I can’t imagine how much work’s been done here and I truly appreciate it. Thank you.

    This app is a precious tool as it allows you to see into the mind of one of the greatest, levelheaded, and fair thinkers in history. Sam’s voice alone brings peace and calm to my day. The words and other thinkers that he chooses to provide us with are priceless. This app has helped me understand some of my actions and allowed me to change myself for the better. I wouldn’t choose any other app.
