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.

    Finished the intro course, it is marvelous that I could have gone my whole life without ever once given any consideration to my own thoughts. My thoughts color my whole experience and I never once until now stopped to observe them and realize that they are the source of any suffering.(not that thoughts are useless on the contrary)
  • Amazing app

    I downloaded this during my yoga teacher training in 2020 because we were told to meditate at least 10 minutes every morning and I didn’t know how. Whenever I used this app regularly since then, little miracles seemed to keep happening where my interactions became more compassionate and thoughtful, I felt more in control of my actions and my destiny, and I was able to reach a meditative state super fast in savasana or just sitting outside. I can’t wait to jump back in after all these years. I’m glad I can pay for a membership now but it was still available to me when I really couldn’t. Amazing
  • Thank you!

    The Waking Up app has been an absolute game-changer! It has been truly transformative. I’m immensely grateful to Sam, the entire Waking Up team, and everyone who has contributed to the app for providing such a wealth of knowledge to the public. Their approach to mindfulness, meditation, and self-awareness has not only deepened my understanding of Eastern Philosophy and meditation, but has also enhanced my overall well-being. This app has become an essential tool in my journey toward personal growth, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

    There really are no words to describe what Waking Up has given me. I recommend this app to anyone and everyone that is ready to grow, expand, or embrace “new” states of consciousness.
  • A good start

    I just finished the introductory course of the waking up app. It’s a great in that the app doesn’t just have a daily meditation session for you. I learned about stoicism from some Scottish guy and I’ve also been using the yoga nidra sessions. I recommend this app to anyone that’s interested in learning.
  • A grift

    Sam Harris is making gazillions from this App by preaching “loving kindness”. But he himself is full of inner violence, seething with hatred for Trump and his supporters. Hypocrisy much? The griftiest of grifts.

    The insights I’ve gained from this forever changed my perspective on reality and consciousness. It’s been a reliable friend during dark times and a way to appreciate the world more during good times.

    Thank you for creating a meditation app focused on deeper wisdom and depth. The effort your team has made to allow me to subscribe despite the steep costs shows me the care you have for spreading these teachings. I’ve candidly found some of the meditations outside of Sam Harris more aligned with my path and am so glad for the diverse yet quality range that exists here. What an amazing moment this is!
