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.

  • What I was missing in my practice

    I really appreciate (and fully subscribe to) Sam’s approach of combining traditional mindfulness teaching (eg attention on the breath) with a more active searching and investigation of the idea of non-self. I find that this intellectual side of meditation complements and supports my ability to stay mindful both while sitting and in real life. The talks following each meditation I also find immensely helpful, the mind is much more ready for dharma study after meditation and this combination is the next best thing to having access to a teacher in front of you. I have just started to explore other app content, but have already found Sam’s conversations extremely supportive of the practice. I try to weave them into my practice often after sitting and search for content related to whatever concept I am struggling with (eg self compassion). I don’t think Sam’s approach to teaching is for everyone, and some in dharma circles will actively disagree with it. But for me, being an engineer especially with an analytical and logical mind, it is what I was missing from my previous practice - and it helps bring me back to the cushion day after day. If you have a similar mind, even non-beginners will find a lot of value in this app.

    This app contains a wealth of knowledge. Sam Harris has created something life changing here. Please try it out for yourself.
  • Accessible. Non-Religious. As a man who loves Jesus I find the practice quiets my brain.

    I appreciate that the approach to meditation does not conflict with my love of Christ. I also appreciate that this approach allows me to not be burdened by trying to clear my mind of thoughts. Rather I have new opens to relate to my chaotic brain in a powerful manner. Lastly I look forward to my practice. This is significant. Chris

    I have found that I can’t start my day without this gift of awareness. This app goes places that I have not seen in other apps. Do yourself a favor and invest in guided consciousness.

  • Update: Predatory auto-renewal & impossible cancellation process negates content

    Update: They did refund my subscription quickly and with no fuss. Restored my faith in the material to some degree. ———————- I thought I was learning so much from this app, and all of that perspective was turned on its head when I tried to cancel before the auto-renewal went into effect. The cancellation instructions are completely impossible to follow as the steps and menus do not actually exist. Pasting here my attempt to cancel. Let’s see if they truly honor the risk-free policy they pretend to have. ———— Per your Risk-Free Policy,* please cancel my subscription and refund not only the predatory auto-renewal, without any courtesy reminder, that you just charged me, but the original year as well. The impossibly complicated way the cancellation process is setup is in exact opposition to the insights and wisdom I thought I was learning with this app. The predatory way you so easily take my money, completely negates the content presented with the app, so NO, I have not found it valuable, instead it has added to my stresses. I expect a full refund of $239.98 ($119.99+$119.99), per your stated policy. * “Becoming a member is risk-free: If you don’t find it valuable, we’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked.”

    I’ve been using this app for nearly two years now. I struggled with anxiety for all my life, and it is truly thanks to this app that my inner life is now calm and anxiety-free, and whatever negative emotions arise last half as long, if that. Cannot recommend enough.
