The Problem With Headspace, Calm, and All Those Meditation Apps // Meditation has become a multi-billion dollar industry in the U.S., but how well do some of the most popular meditation apps actually work? It depends who you ask. If you’re serious about learning meditation or stepping up your practice, watch this video. We’ll be discussing five problematic trends with most meditation apps on the market – PLUS, an app that I think is an exception to the rule.

Time Stamps:
0:00 – Intro (what was going to be a calm or headspace app review)
1:48 – #1: Too much focus on self-improvement
3:27 – #2: Promotion of spiritual materialism
4:49 – #3: Venture-backed (means different incentives)
7:08 – #4: Unethical practices in the name of growth
8:54 – #5: Lack of training for insight
10:50 – The only app I would recommend: Waking Up with Sam Harris
14:03 – Closing thoughts

WAKING UP:
