'The wise companion that each of us needs.' Sam Harris' skillfully-guided Intro Course is already easing me into the freedom enabled by waking up to the reality of consciousness, experience, and attention. This app uniquely enables discovery of the true purpose of meditation, understanding why mindfulness matters, and what it means to live an examined, fulfilling life. The education and mindfulness practice that I have always needed. User-friendly, exemplary user support, transformative content.

Review of Waking Up

I listened to several meditations last night as I was trying to fall asleep. Sam has perfect tone and pacing my o create a meditative headspace. His many years of personal experience really shine through.

Although I have practiced hatha yoga for about 20 years I never got deep into the still forms of meditation-I have long found the meditative within movement.

Yet, I have several Buddhist friends and have always admired their calm collected and deeply still presence.

Following this feeling of respect coupled with my innate curiosity of all things spiritual and the Waking Up podcast (my highest patreon sponsorship goes to it and if you know anything about me you know that's saying something!) I was thrilled to be given the opportunity explore with an invitation to download the app for free.

Thanks @samharrisofficial! I would have paid for it, but these little things mean so much!

To summize-This is a great product. I recommend it highly for new to advanced meditators and the meditative-curious.

Om ing On and On and On.........

Review of Waking Up

This is one of the few meditation apps I have tried, and although it's "cortical" approach is perhaps not for all (there is a lot of explaining), I myself have truly been enjoying it for a year, and would recommend it to everyone. Sam and his team also deserve kudos for their generosity for less well-off fans, offering scholarships or even free subscriptions (no questions asked) upon honest requests. I have nothing but respect for Sam and his amazing team. May they be happy, may they be healthy, and may they be free of suffering, and may they be at peace...
