Waking Up is more than a meditation app—it’s a complete program for understanding your mind and living an examined life. Go beyond relaxation techniques and discover the true purpose of meditation, experiencing real mindfulness without New Age fluff. The app helps you understand why you’re practicing by blending ancient wisdom with modern science, and it offers lessons on Stoicism, effective altruism, sleep and psychedelics to help you live an examined, fulfilling life. Learn the fundamentals of mindfulness step‑by‑step with Sam Harris—neuroscientist, author and creator of Waking Up—as he guides you into the deep end of meditation. A curated library of guided meditations ensures you practice with top teachers, while the “Place for Serious Seekers” section invites you to explore thought‑provoking conversations on life’s big questions without religious dogma. To support daily practice, Waking Up sends short daily mindfulness reminders to integrate meditation into your life. The company donates at least 10 % of its profits to high‑impact charities and offers a scholarship program for those who cannot afford a subscription.
