    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.
 
Here, you won’t just uncover simple relaxation techniques —and you won’t find any New Age fluff or religious dogma. 
 
***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.
 
“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

    Love the app and we’ll worth 5 stars. 

A note for the developer though. The app sometimes freezes/pauses in the middle of a meditation. Seems to happen when my phone screen locks. Would be even better if this bug could be resolved.

    I overall really like this app. It is loaded with great content and the vast majority of the sessions are really useful/ enjoyable. 

One barrier I just can’t get past are the sessions where Sam uses finger snapping to indicate when you should attempt to look inward for the subject. Maybe it’s just me, but I find this exercise to be the be the opposite of meditative, sometimes outright irritating! If there were a way to filter these out I would consider leaving a 5 star review.

At this point though, I don’t think I’ll be renewing for a third year and will begin exploring some of the other apps out there. 

As for getting me started on the daily meditation sessions, thank you Sam! It has brought increased clarity and mindfulness into my life!

    The more I meditate, the more I realize just how essential it is. This app provides everything you could need for your mindfulness practice with daily meditations and a whole library of other meditations, talks from Sam and others, etc. The team is always looking for new ways to add valuable content to the app as well, which I appreciate. Sam’s guided meditations are extremely thoughtful and effective. Get this app! ❤️

    Can you imagine my giddy glee when my punchy 9 year old boy says “Cool!” and grabs my phone to mail himself this app link, after hearing Amy describe her voice as a thought bubble in his head? It’s such a departure from the games and podcasts we fill our time with. Thank you Sam for your creativity and persistence. No one on earth has fought the darkness and created community so effectively. So brave.

    It takes a certain state or point in life for someone to seek a meditation practice. Call it struggle, call it suffering, call it purposelessness. This app has helped me in myriad ways I can’t seem to encapsulate! Given me a purpose to keep plugging along and recognize that states of despair are self imposed narratives, almost so I find myself laughing at some of my minds tricks now. After using the app quite diligently over about 183 days, i sense a deepness in understanding the states of my mind. Practically one thing I’d love to see is talks about addiction and stepping past the cycle of craving, there’s a profoundly consistent narrative of awareness and of the thought of craving itself embedded into every practice almost. The practice of recognizing the impermanence of it and finding freedom from it. Although, desire and addiction to cycles of desire could be a dedicated topic worth exploring to educate the waking up audience with. Maybe it’s inherently already there and this is a personal struggle but I thought it’s a point worth bringing up and I hope someone’s reading this. Regardless, from the deepest part of my conscious existence. Thank you !

  • So grateful :)

    I just finished my first meditation retreat at Spirit Rock and my life will now be divided between before and after this profound experience. It’s highly unlikely I ever would’ve found my way to that retreat without Sam and this app. I also know the practice and teachings here will help keep that experience evergreen. I simply can’t recommend this app enough. No matter what problem you are facing in life, there is very likely an answer here. You simply need to take the first step!

  • Waking Up sounds the alarm

    My life experience has been littered with frightful experiences which left a huge void and foundation in my awareness of the world. Many books, therapists, etc. have not provided what Waking Up has given me. Through a scientific pov, insightful experts and the meditations—life is finally starting to make sense. I no longer suffer because of my mind and thoughts, I witness and experience life objectively and unafraid. Thank you, Sam Harris and your amazing team!
