Why Waking Up Stands Out

Unlike conventional meditation apps, Waking Up blends practice with theory—so you not only learn to meditate but also understand how it transforms your mind. It’s meditation, science, and timeless wisdom in one place.

Topics & Techniques

Our library combines contemplative traditions with modern science, offering tools for both practice and understanding. Techniques include mindfulness (Vipassana), Loving-Kindness, body scans, yoga nidra, and nondual awareness practices from Dzogchen, Zen, and Advaita Vedanta. Topics span neuroscience, psychology, Stoicism, ethics, psychedelics, productivity, and happiness.

Content & Teachers

Created by neuroscientist and best-selling author Sam Harris, Waking Up features leading voices in meditation, philosophy, and psychology. 

Practice—Vipassana, Zen, Dzogchen, Advaita Vedanta (Joseph Goldstein, Diana Winston, Adyashanti, Henry Shukman, Richard Lang)
Theory—the philosophy and science of consciousness, ethics, and well-being (Alan Watts, Charlotte Joko Beck, Joan Tollifson, James Low, Douglas Harding)
Life—mindfulness in relationships, productivity, Stoicism, and more (David Whyte, Oliver Burkeman, Matthew Walker, Amanda Knox, Donald Robertson, Bob Waldinger)
Conversations—Sam Harris with Yuval Noah Harari, Michael Pollan, Morgan Housel, Roland Griffiths, Cal Newport, Shinzen Young
Q&As—Sam Harris with Joseph Goldstein, Adyashanti, Henry Shukman, Jack Kornfield, Loch Kelly
	
And many more subjects and teachers.

Created by Sam Harris

Neuroscientist and best-selling author Sam Harris built Waking Up as the resource he wished he’d had when he began meditating 30 years ago. Every practice, course, and teacher is chosen for its power to change lives.

## Waking Up Reviews in Südafrika

### ***** "What it feels like coming home"
This app has given me the opportunity to find myself within myself again.
-- BobThornton, 2024-12-12

### ***** "Awake"
Sam Harris has pointed out the things in my mind that can actually change my reality for the better for myself and those I interact with. Love this app.
-- TashVanG, 2024-11-03

### ***** "I’d written myself off as someone who doesn’t meditate"
Throughout my life I’ve identified heavily with my thoughts and didn’t know any better. I did the foundations course during a period where I wasn’t working after being laid off from my job. The best thing I did during that time was establish a meditation practice as a result of using Waking Up. I’m deeply thankful to Sam Harris and the people who have contributed to this app.
-- Rebecca Johnson ZA, 2024-10-15

### ***** "Waking Up"
I started Sam Harris’ introductory Waking Up course a couple of weeks ago and I can say, without hesitation, that it is the best guided meditation course that I have come across. What makes it so exemplary is the ease with which it puts each mediation in the greater context of mindfulness and how quickly and easily it has enabled me to integrate the sessions in my everyday life. Things an exceptional gift.
I am also able incredibly thankful for the scholarship programme because, as an unemployed person, I simply can  not afford the subscription at this time. Conversely, I feel like I can not afford to not have this practice in my life.
-- alsgray, 2024-06-18

### ***** "Recommended to improve quality of life"
This app has been amazing. I am a psychologist and I use the daily. I also recommended it to many of my clients and we have definitely seen improved quality of life and also just a great experience. I highly recommend this app and I hope that everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
-- Gerrithendri, 2024-06-11
