WHY IS WAKING UP DIFFERENT FROM OTHER MEDITATION APPS?
*Meditation is often taught as though it were an ancient version of an executive stress ball. But it’s more like the Large Hadron Collider. Waking Up users quickly understand that there are fundamental discoveries to be made in the laboratory of their own minds.
*Waking Up guides you through a 50-day introductory course before unlocking access to an ongoing series of daily meditations. If you’re a novice, you need this. (And if you’re an experienced meditator, you probably do, too.) All meditations are created and led by Sam Harris.
*Waking Up also contains a growing curriculum of short talks by Sam Harris on a wide variety of topics relevant for deepening your practice.
*Waking Up never resorts to gimmicks or pseudoscience. The app contains only what you need to make fundamental insights into the nature of your mind.
“I’ve been incredibly impressed with this app. Whether you want to sharpen your mind or experience more peace, this can help in dramatic fashion. The power of its progression is hard to overstate.”

Reviews
A life changing year
WalterLarry
There were many things I added and subtracted from my life this year to try and be a better version of myself and everything Sam Harris has been a huge positive addition. His books, the making sense podcast, and especially the waking up app. I had tried meditation on several other apps before and this one has been the only one I’ve connected with on the level I needed. I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for in a meditation app and that’s what makes this one so special. It showed me what I was looking for.
Great resource

Sam makes meditation accessible and does a great job of explaining why it is such a useful daily practice. As far as I can tell, this is the best meditation course available.
I finally “got” it

I have tried other meditation apps and none of the others really teach you meditation to the level of depth that sam Harris does. Really simple instructions and quite powerful. I really got to experience meditation like I never have. It’s hard to describe.

I use waking up every day. I love the way Sam Harris guides the meditations. My practice is something I will use for the rest of my life. There is so much to explore on this app.
Peace

It’s hard to find peace in the modern world. But with this practice of mindfulness meditation I find comfort in the present. Thank you Sam for opening my eyes to my mind.
Simple. Consistent. Deep

I appreciate how Sam's approach is vast, helping expose many ways to think about the mind and meditation through different speakers and meditation types. The daily sessions are simple, which I've grown to appreciate. The new talks help keep it fresh as well. Great app.
Take care of your brain

The benefits of meditation and the exploration of philosophy without all the religious judgment and control and hate.
Changed my life

Best decision I have made in my life when it comes to my mental well-being
Transformative & Revelatory

I don’t have the proper capacity of language to fully capture how the information contained in this app has completely transformed my life. I have been living on the outer edges of my existence, as a passenger who felt she lacked any agency to change course. I’m filled with such profound gratitude for those of you who have kept a torch lit for all who are asleep. Awakening, like everything in the universe, is twofold. Characterized by joy and gratitude as you realize the power you wield with your discerning attention and overwhelmed with compassion, helplessness and sorrow for the suffering of so many around you. All I want to do is share what I know with everyone I meet, but I’ve learned that all I can do is continue to deepen my practice, live what I know and be ready when those around me are ready to listen. I just applied to UCB get my science teaching credential. The best thing I can do right now from my current vantage point is to help teach this generation how to effectively direct their attention and to inquire about the nature of their reality. They won’t find it in the virtual or augmented reality that they are becoming increasingly entrapped in. While I know there are many who make this app possible, I must offer special thanks to David Whyte, Joseph Goldstein and you Sam. It is important now more than ever to start waking up and I’m so humbled to have made it to the other side.
