Description
Been using Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that helps you get into meditation and mindfulness. Pretty solid if you’re trying to be more present and calm in your daily life.
Here’s what you do – there’s a 28-day introductory course to get you started. And there’s daily guided meditations with the app’s creator, Sam Harris. And it’s got little ‘Moments’ you can listen to when you need a quick mental reset, plus a daily quote and some longer ‘Reflections’ lessons. There’s also a meditation timer if you wanna do your own thing.
Look, if you’re into meditation and personal growth, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – can be a bit serious at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you’re looking to build a consistent meditation habit.
Editor Opinion
So here's my honest take on Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom. I've tested a bunch of meditation apps and this one's one of the better ones I've tried. The guided meditations with Sam Harris are really well done and I like the variety of content - not just basic meditation but also deeper lessons and perspectives. That said, it can get a little heavy at times and the UI is a bit bland. But overall it's a solid option, especially if you're new to meditation and want some structure.
