Sam Harris – Waking Up – Audio Meditation Course

Discover your mind.

Waking Up is a guide to understanding the mind, for the purpose of living a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Join Sam Harris—neuroscientist, philosopher, and New York Times best-selling author—as he explores the practice of meditation and examines the theory behind it.

What makes Waking Up different?

There are hundreds of meditation apps on the market, and several do a fine job of teaching the basic principles of mindfulness. But most present the practice as though it were an ancient version of an executive stress ball—whereas it’s more like the Hubble Space Telescope.

The purpose of meditation isn’t merely to reduce stress or to make you feel better in the moment—it’s to make fundamental discoveries in the laboratory of your own mind.

The Waking Up course is structured around its two core principles:

You can PRACTICE meditation, and you can learn the THEORY behind the practice.

Practice

Go beyond mere stress reduction to make profound discoveries about the nature of your own mind.

Theory

Ground your meditation experience in practical wisdom, ethical insights, and a rational understanding of the world.
