    Lightbulb Anyone using Sam Harris's 'Waking Up' Meditation App?

    Curious to see if anyone is using the 'waking up' app...I've been a fan of Sam Harris for many a year and took up the course about a year ago. It acts as a guide to understanding the mind and is a superb supplement to the examined life. It's such a positive investment of one's time and attention particularly given the year we've had (!)... but I can't help but feel it could be potentially improved by introducing a social aspect. Some of the concepts are inscrutable and would benefit from some back and forth, I feel.

    If anyone is doing the course I was thinking of perhaps a whatsapp group — leading perhaps to a meditation /discussion meet up after this dumpster-fire of a year sorts itself out.

    Open to other suggestions of course....

    If you're not familiar with the app here it is, with links to the free trial https://www.wakingup.com/

    Waking Up App is fascinating stuff! I’m in the middle of the 28 day course, heading into the headless portion. . I’d be in for a WhatsApp group if you’re thinking about it. I’m on the U.S. East Coast (DC) so there would be time lag though. Best, wishing you much fun with the journey.
