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

Best customer service

Janench on

I love the Waking Up app. I am very cautious about purchasing apps because the cost often doesn’t meet the service but this has been fantastic. I am new to meditation and have high anxiety and this app really helps. I needed some support to use the app and my email was answered the same day and my query was handled professionally and kindly. Highly recommend.

An Excellent app, equally suitable for beginners and experienced

Pravz13 on

An Green application Excellent content, meticulously designed with a simple welcoming interface and approach Don’t hesitate on this one May sound cliched, but this app is definitely not made for profit. Rather the team has worked hard and designed this app, with real intentions to make the world a better place Thank you Sam and team

Move to Somewhere safer please

Aussie652 on

I’m worried for ur safety in CA please consider moving to the sticks. You would be welcome in Australia❤️ but I’m glad you are a trained firearm user. Please keep training. You are so important right now and one of the only honest voices left.

Impossible to enjoy this anymore.

Salsa_Verde_ on

I was a fan. I used it daily and I enjoyed the variety of speakers and other resources. But it’s impossible to support anything by Sam anymore. His empathetic blind spots are really disturbing on some subjects. Particularly current world events.

Requested a refund

sam9838 on

This app was pitched as an app to help you find balance and peace. It charges an expensive yearly subscription and is centred around Sam Harris who says questionable things in the extended interviews and horrendous things online. I have requested a refund as this is not what I signed up.

This is the app!

Amcqueen78 on

I’ve tried many different mindfulness apps over the years and more years meditating. I can definitely say that Waking Up is the best of them all by far. Concise and grounded in a realistic approach this app is powerful.

Life changing

Bert is fat on

I have learned an incredible amount though this app. It has benefited my life and improved my PTSD/depression greatly. I will forever be grateful to Sam and his many guests/colleagues. I am similarly grateful to the wonderful administrators - particularly Karl - who has very generously supported my continued use of the app while unemployed/unable to afford it. Thanks for sharing your kindness and knowledge! From Alex (Cairns, Australia)

Magnificent App

Benson_olara_rullivan on

This app is truly invaluable to my life at the moment. It has aided in opening my eyes to the power of mindfulness and how much of a difference it can make in your life. I feel like meditation is really the only answer. What else can one do? It’s the only way to uncover the intricacies of your own mind and figure out how you can maximise your experience, no matter what that might be. ☯️

The most important thing you’ll ever learn

Serenity ❤️ on

After a bit over a year of practice and having touched only a fraction of what’s available in the app, I often don’t remember how I tended to exist in the world. A total transformation of being, a radical course change in becoming, a path of wisdom available to everyone. My gratitude goes to Sam and the other teachers and guests. The scholarship program deserves a special mention. Thank you so much!

This app changed my life

Rb Jimmy on

To break the shackles of thought truly changed the way I look at life on a moment to moment basis. Couldn’t recommend more ☺️
