Sam Harris discusses the mystery of our existence on earth and how fortunate we are to be here now—at a time when information and knowledge are so easily accessible. He shares that meditation isn't about understanding things conceptually, but is rather about the ability to experience things more clearly in order to experience psychological freedom.
While many meditation tools today aim to improve symptoms of an untrained mind such as trouble falling asleep or anxious thinking, Waking Up treats the root cause of these struggles with carefully curated content aimed at developing a sound understanding of the practice and theory behind meditation. After all, it’s only in fully examining our minds that we’re able to unlock them.
