Waking Up: Meditation & Wisdom

Die Kombination aus Meditations-App, täglichen Denkanstößen und aber auch ausführlichen theoretischen Kursen zu vielen Themen macht die Waking Up App ein fantastisches Werkzeug. Ich bin froh, die App gefunden zu haben!

Just google the founder of this app Sam Harris and 🍉and read his long article on the subject.

An incredibly convenient app with a ton of different features. I'm incredibly glad I discovered it and now I recommend it to all my friends, which is very unusual for me. I'd like to give special mention to the support team, who respond in seconds and are truly helpful. Thank you so much!

I’ve been using the app for nearly 6 months, and it’s been a real journey! Initially I had trouble completing the beginner’s course, and it took me 3 months, but once one has found a habit that works, it’s a nice part of the daily routine. Currently it’s the app I use most for media, and I find many of the talks, interviews and discussions extremely enlightening. I sometimes have trouble navigating the topics (Zen vs Dhzogzen vs. Stoicism, etc.), but that has encouraged me to dig deeper and try to understand all the different schools and philosophies. I use it in combination with Balance, which has a more practical, usage-oriented approach, and together they work very well, I have found.

Für mich als nicht-spirituellen Menschen mit ADHS ist es gleichzeitig wichtig, nicht eine spezifische esoterische oder religiöse Weltsicht in der Meditation aufgedrängt zu bekommen UND eine Bandbreite an immer neuen Zugängen zu einer Sache zu finden, die mir hilft runter zu kommen und mich zu sammeln. Diese App bietet genau das. Eine große Bandbreite an Ansätzen, die über eine schematische Meditationsanleitung hinausgehen und eine solide Einführung ins Thema, die auch säkular ‚funktioniert‘.

It’s like a temple of profound mindfulness practice and theory, only without the community. As every social network immediately and inevitably turns into a toxic attention wasteland, this app is a way, a path, and the best that is digitally possible. And as for now, 2025, it doesn’t try to drain money from your pocket for the quality content it offers; indeed, its entire design follows the path it provides to others.
