While doing my best to distract myself from life at the time, I read the book “Waking Up” by Sam Harris, and this got me curious.

I’ve since been using the Waking Up app also created by Harris. The introductory course is a flavor of Vipassana or “seeing things as they are”, and that’s where I started.

Harris has an extensive background and relationships with many meditation teachers and experts across various disciplines, and he tries to distill the best bits from each into the core meditation course.

In addition to the core practices, the app has a deep library of content from other expert teachers ranging from theory/philosophy to guided practice, and I’ve found it fascinating to try meditations from various schools of thought. Some of the extra content goes down some (secular) Buddhism rabbit holes if that’s of any interest.
