Here is a podcast with the author:

Of course, Sam Harris himself has a meditation app (Waking Up). I think might be the best option for the HN crowd.

Here [1] is the Exodus Privacy report for this app. To be fair, I did like the FAQ on the website.

Fwiw, Waking Up gets better marks by those metrics than the other popular meditation apps mentioned in these comments: Headspace and Calm.

(Lower is better)

- Waking Up (3+11=14)

- Headspace (11+16=27)

- Calm (9+15=24)

I've tried the Harris app. Everyone can do better than 10-20 minute sessions with Harris rambling in the background, acting as a constant distraction by going on and on about free will and the nature of consciousness.

IMO the HN crowd doesn't have to limit itself to any specific apps. We all have access to books that discuss the hows and whys in much greater detail than any app currently does.

Thanks. Didn’t know that. On my second listen of the book but will check out the app for sure now.

Haven't read that one, but "Buddhism without Beliefs" is also a great read on Buddhism without the supernatural stuff people have attached to it over the centuries.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to give it a try.
