Waking Up - Guided meditation with Sam Harris

I call this intellectual meditation. Meditation never worked for me, for years, because it didn’t engage me enough in the right places of the mind. Sam does that with his interesting and brilliant logic and speech. His voice is soothing to begin with, but just hearing him describe the human experience in intellectually stimulating and sensory ways is true meditation in itself. I have finally found it.

Pros:

Meditation for intellectuals

Cons:

None

I have been following Sam for years. I have the 4 horseman DVD, have read, listened to and watched many things Sam has done.

Pros:

It is consistent. There is no metaphysics. It allows me time to get it. I just finished day 62 in a row of Waking up + the practice guides.

Cons:

Not that I am aware. I have been taking a philosophy class for 2+ decades Find no discrepancy in these two practices

If you can stick with it, this app can profoundly change you your mind

Pros:

Very comprehensive sessions of meditation.

Cons:

None

I am so grateful for this app. I was raised in a small Mennonite community and struggled with breaking free from religion for many years. I have read some of Sam’s books (which have helped me through my journey) and now this app his helping me continue my process of growth in such a big way WITHOUT religious dogma. Thank you.

Pros:

The clear and concise way Sam discusses why meditation is good for your psychological state.

Cons:

I would love for new lessons to be released more often.

This app serves as therapy for me. I'm doing much better now thanks to Sam's mindfulness meditation sessions. Each session is just 10 mins long, which is a good duration for me.

Pros:

Harris has a very calming voice and his practice involves only secular content; no need to believe anything on insufficient evidence.

Cons:

None

An incredible product. Thank you, Sam.

customer support which is responsive and easy to access!

This is the only meditation app I can honestly say has been life changing for me. Everything else in the category I've used has only been pretty good to superficial. There is an ability to capture and deliver with simplicity enormously complex subjects. Masterclass.

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...
