Waking Up is an Android application created by Sam Harris, a well-known American neuroscientist to help users develop mental clarity and emotional balance.
Fulfilling life
There is a structured daily meditation session designed to cultivate presence, reduce anxiety and sharpen awareness. Each lesson is guided by the creator himself or guest teachers, providing clear instructions that evolve over time. The courses focus on attention, open awareness and non-dual mindfulness techniques.
Moreover, the app includes a multi-day introductory meditation for beginners, covering fundamental concepts. Advanced series come with deeper exploration into non-duality, consciousness and awareness practices. Guides build on one another to foster long-term growth in both understanding and experience.

In addition, there are in-depth audio conversations with neuroscientists, philosophers, monks and other experts. Dialogues explore identity, meaning, suffering and the nature of the mind topics. As for practicing, each meditation technique is backed by scientific context to help you see why the method works.
