Waking Up with Sam Harris - Mindfulness Meditation

Discover your mind.

Join Sam Harris—neuroscientist, philosopher, and bestselling author—on a course that will teach you to meditate, reason more effectively, and deepen your understanding of yourself and others. Meditation is often taught as though it were an ancient version of an executive stress ball, but it’s more like the Large Hadron Collider. Waking Up users quickly understand that meditation is about more than feeling good in the moment—there are fundamental discoveries to be made in the laboratory of their own minds.

• Waking Up guides you through a 50-day introductory course, teaching a progressive series of meditation techniques.

• Meditation for Children. Led by Annaka Harris, the program aims to help the children in your life start a lifetime of discovering their own minds.

• The Metta (loving-kindness) meditation series has launched with an introduction and meditations created and led by Sam Harris. The goal of Metta is to feel loving-kindness for one’s self and for others, and to make this state of mind as vivid as possible.

• Waking Up also contains a growing curriculum of short talks by Sam Harris on a wide variety of topics relevant for deepening your practice.
