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.

    I decided to try waking up because I liked the idea that they don’t charge people who can’t afford it and offer scholarships. I decided to take a chance on the app since even though I’m trying to trim my spending it was free. It has DRASTICALLY effected my mood, affect, overall gratitude for life, and has given me my focus back. The non duality meditation is also so incredibly rewarding as it helps you find genuine connection to the present moment and those incredible moments of “feeling like you have no head”. Overall I recommend this app to anyone who is willing to listen. I have even been a practicing Christian my whole life and Sam Harris is famously known as an atheist. The content is such high quality, the talks are incredible, no ads, it’s such a change from the typical media we consume. 10/10. I recommend the Amanda Knox series, the Mindful CBT, and Tim Pychl’s Procrastination series. All incredible. When my scholarship is up I will GLADY be paying for this app.

    It’s hard to put it into words but this was exactly what I needed. I feel more in touch with reality over all and I’m handing difficult things in life much better. I don’t just write reviews either, but I love this app so much.
  • Perfect for me

    I’ve tried a lot of meditation apps, and there are a lot of good ones out there, it is very much a matter of personal taste, but for me this app is all I need. The meditations are configurable and very varied. They particularly work for me due to Sam‘s academic background, as well as his long time personal meditation experience. Apart from the meditations, the app is filled with so many resources for good listening and understanding. I absolutely love it and look forward to each morning ritual.

    I’ve never found such a comprehensive meditation app. They make it so easy to digest and the information is broken down into easy to consume bits.

    I hesitated to subscribe for years due to the cost, but I finally did, and even after short-term usage, this is without a doubt the best service I’ve ever paid for. The quality of the guided meditations and lectures are the best in the world, and I’m grateful that Sam, with his deep pockets, created such a meaningful resource. There is none of the new-age hocus-pocus, but just grounded, rational practice and wisdom. It’s been a difficult period of my life, and this app is opening up my eyes to hope that was scarcely visible. Thank you, Sam and all the wise minds on this app.
  • The best app for waking up!
