I think the app undersells the "Introductory Course". In my experience, if anyone had any interest in this, I would say, that introductory course could very well be the beginning and end of anything you need to point at what we're pointing to. Great stuff. Good job, Sam.

I started listening to Waking Up in March 2020, at the start of the shutdown of San Francisco during the pandemic.

The Daily Meditation on the app helped me to “maintain my sanity” during that strange and stressful period.

I found you and your writings through the app Joan, and I am so glad I did. You really make a difference - at least it appears like that to me. Happy to be told you don't make a difference, I feel like any assertion is bound for the bin. I am happy either way or not!

I also found Joan through her first conversation with Sam on the Waking Up app.

I have listened to this feisty conversation several times.

Joan “stands up” to Sam in a way that is rare and refreshing.

I also have the app....thank you Joan. The app changed my life. I got a 4 month old kitten on Monday - what a change from my normal life ;-) Certainly took my 'attention off myself'. Love your stuff on Waking Up and everywhere else, and also lots of stuff on the app.

Hello Joan and Folks - this morning's daily meditation with Sam made "metta" or loving kindness meditation more palatable..... Joan you might want to listen if you have not already ;-)

The sound on ocean waves - my new kitten settles right down on my chest listening to Sam's voice and the waves.....you can turn the volume of the background sounds up or down. If you are in a hot place with no rain in sight, do the RAIN one....it's beautiful. Sending love to all.
