Waking Up is a 📝mindfulness and 📝meditation platform developed by neuroscientist and author 📝Sam Harris. Described as “a new operating system for your mind,” it offers guided meditations, lessons, and conversations aimed at cultivating a deeper understanding of self and supporting a more examined life. The platform emphasizes both practical techniques and the theoretical foundations of mindfulness, drawing on ancient wisdom and contemporary science. Users can explore a curated library of teachers—including Laurie Santos, David Whyte, Gangaji, Adyashanti, and others—covering topics such as Stoicism, effective altruism, sleep, and psychedelics research. Waking Up aims to serve as a serious resource for those interested in mindful practice without religious dogma, providing daily reminders to integrate awareness into everyday experience.
