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.

Here, you won’t just uncover simple relaxation techniques —and you won’t find any New Age fluff or religious dogma.

***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.

“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

Now it requires paid membership to use all the functions which is quite depressing

Amazing app

Using this Sam Harris app for 5 months, daily. It is difficult to explain how helpful it can be, you should try it out for yourself in order to understand.

Life changing

I’m loving the app so far, plan to keep using it well into the future.

A wonderful, life-changing app

Dylan "Smooth Suede" R. on

I find waking up to be the greatest app I have ever used and a truly life-changing experience. I struggled my entire life with a lot of stress, anxiety, and depression, and also was completely subsumed in many pursuits that didn’t really make me happy, but I didn’t have the awareness to see the mechanics of my own mind. Waking Up changed all of that for me by giving me the tools to observe my own experience. My entire sense of what life is about has changed for the better, and I’ve now recognized that the quality of my own mind is the basis of real contentment and well-being. I am immensely grateful to have had the chance to learn these truths and be able to apply them in my life, I would say that there has never been anything more important that I have ever experienced. thank you sincerely from the bottom of my heart for doing this work and helping people like me completely transform our lives for the better.

Waking up is the best

I have tried a few different meditation apps, and I enjoy waking up the most. It has a way of really teaching you the fundamentals — not in a super time intensive way, but through practice. I felt like this meaty substance was missing from other apps and sessions in those apps. One practical thing I’ve found in this app, and not others, is the direction of attention towards a given thought when the mind wonders. Paying attention to that thought and watching it unspool. My practice with this app has helped me to become a more even keeled and present person. I highly recommend it.

Incredible daily resource

cthaeh10 on

Easily the most important app on my device. The meditations are simple and concise yet varied and deep enough to keep your proficiency on awareness up to speed. That alone makes it worth it, but there is also content on “theory” and “life” separated into easily digestible segments. These end up being just as essential to your spiritual and mental well-being as meditation practices are. The only drawback to all of this (and probably an unfair critique) is that it is all “audio”. Specifically, the “theory” and “life” segments. That obviously makes it difficult to take notes and revisit important facts and arguments that you’d like to commit to memory. But, most of this content is written by the guest speakers who wrote book(s) on the content they’re sharing anyways on the app (e.g. Matthew Walker, Cal Newport, etc). Even if this remains an audio only app for the next decade or two, it’s still the most important one on my device.

Thank you brother / sisters, truly life changing

Sam and team. Thank you so much. I wish I look each and every one of you in the eye and express my gratitude, but I can’t. It’s exponential, beyond expression. You’ve changed my life in ways I can’t express. I love you all. Thank you for the knowledge and the persistent repetition to look where it matters most.

A PERFECT meditation app

Benjl2000 on

I wanna start by saying that anyone looking to start their meditation practice, Sam Harris’s 30 Day Introductory Course is THE place to start. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and easy to listen to, honestly to the point where I got giddy excited to progress. The conversations on the app are also sooo entertaining to listen to. Unfortunately I had to step away from the app for awhile for financial reasons but then I heard about their scholarship program and they helped me out, which was INCREDIBLY gracious of them. I love this app.

Go-to!

Waking up has been my go-to source for both my meditation practice as well as inspiration for less than a year I believe…maybe a year…time flies. I have practiced for about 20 years, originally as a Vajrayana student and later finding Dzogchen practice. It’s truly unbelievable that I am able to tap into just about any and every teaching I desire, using this app. I finally made the leap from just using it for theory study and actually started using the guided meditations and timer. The app is like having a teacher always accessible and it seems to be working for me in a similar way as meeting with teachers in the past. I am undeniably grateful to have access to this bank of wisdom!
