Waking Up
A new operating system for your mind

Waking Up is a meditation and mindfulness app created by neuroscientist and philosopher Sam Harris. It offers a structured 30-day introductory course, guided meditations, and in-depth lessons drawing on neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. The app also features a community forum and content from over 100 interdisciplinary teachers.
Users follow a guided 30-day introductory course of daily meditations and lessons from Sam Harris, then explore a broad library of teachers, traditions, and topics at their own pace via a subscription app.
