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.

The shift from the external to the internal
This app has been very helpful and reducing anxiety, helping focus, and decluttering the mind. It is a resource full of wealth that I look forward to each day.
This is the cure
Whatever suffering that you may be experiencing, will be unraveled with Waking Up. I have immense gratitude for the message that Sam Harris is putting out into the world; I truly believe that this is a gift to humanity and the consciousness. Everything simply is. There are no things nor objects. There is only a great “happening” I will say it would be nice if there was a place to take notes in the app! Maybe some integration with the Notion app 👀. Regardless, still worth the money, you must use this app.
Excellent for beginners and more advanced
The 28-day introductory course is great to set the groundwork for people looking to understand and enhance their experience of meditation beyond cultural norms like lowering stress or getting better sleep. This is is an app that is guiding towards the root of the issue, not the branches. Looking forward to exploring it more
100% recommend
It’s such a well-designed, artful app that can unlock a completely new way of experiencing life.
A new operating system. Thank you, Sam!
This is not just an app but a training school in the art of meditation and liberation. I’m from India and I’ve been introduced to “spirituality” since an early age by parents who meditate regularly since last 30years. I’ve never been able to wrap my head around the concepts they share but this app has helped me get an idea of what does it actually mean to have a practice. Before this app I used to be an observer of breath during meditation but never thought I could be observing that observer. Haven’t successfully been able to do that yet but I believe Sam and his guest’s guided meditation and shared experiences will get me there one day with regular practice. The appearance of your voice in my consciousness has been super beneficial. I know you had no option but to be this awesome since there is no free will haha but I just wanna say, THANK YOU, Sam!! Also, I highly recommend this app. Just do it!
Thankful for Waking Up!
I am very grateful for this app. I do not have the feeling of failure that has frustrated me for so long. The introductory course is a gem. I look forward to starting every day with meditation and listening to teachers throughout my day. I can’t thank you enough Sam Harris and everyone that has contributed on this app. This compliments beautifully with the Stoicism that I have been practicing for the last year. Thank you for sharing this with us all 🙏
