Happier Meditation

This app is a little jenky and doesn’t work half the time but these meditations are life changing. every teacher is studied and practiced and seems to have a deeper understanding than a typical lmeditation by a yoga instructor or casual meditator. These people are serious. Most have a Buddhist background, but the Buddhist bias is pretty minimal / not in your face. I like how it tracks days, weeks & minutes meditated. I love to go through my favorites. I love the ones by Pascal, Oren and Booker. The courses are also definitely worth the longer meditations. This program found me when it was part of the ten percent happier podcast, and I wish these were still on Spotify and free to people, but I do think they’re extremely valuable. Support staff is super nice, too. Thanks, ten percent!

I’ve been using this app regularly for over three years. It has sustained me through personal losses, the challenges of new business ownership, and the transition to my role as a caregiver of two people in my family who both have dementia. I have learned many uplifting, practical and eye-opening lessons which the app supports my practicing every day. Even if you can only practice three minutes a day, start now. Your use of the many tools on the app will grow naturally over time.

👉WOW! I AM NOT THE ONLY USER WHO HATES THE ENFORCED "CHECK-IN PAGE👈 I am one of the top users—the app doesn't even have milestones for the amount of consistency and milestones I've reached. I am grateful to Dan Harris for creating this and really sad to hear that he split with the co-founders due to creative and financial differences 💔 I have complained to support over the past year about the invasive "check-in" page and they had at least changed it to opt-out—but nope, not anymore! I guess maybe they are using it to collect health & wellness data of users 🤔. I emailed them to ask them to return the "Skip" option and they said they hadn't removed it. I am an experienced Beta tester for apps with 20 years' experience. I realize that it's popular to add check-ins make the user feel "personalized" but this number of complaints? Nope. Cancelling my subscription and following Dan Harris over to "10% Happier With Dan Harris"

Out of the 3 meditation apps, I listen to, this is my favorite. I do miss Dan Harris and the way he recapped the lesson.& shared his personal stories. Yet I’m confused every single day it asks me to update. I haven’t even listened to all the episodes. I Keep getting billed monthly. I think it’s 1299 that’s disappointing. Please stop asking to update! I can’t even listen to 10% happier daily anymore- it won’t let me. Idk why- I purchased this every year and that should be enough Respectfully submitted, Jennifer Richards

I enjoy this app and use it daily. But there haven’t been any new course offerings, meditation challenges, or updated content for a while. For example, several of the meditations relating to “current events” were recorded when the Covid- 19 pandemic was in full swing, so they don’t feel relevant to what is happening now. It would be nice to have at least some meditations that reference today’s current events. Otherwise this app provides good solid instruction in guided meditation without being too smarmy or too New Age-y. Worth the investment.

I’ve been a 10 Percenter for many years, and my meditation investment has made a difference that often far exceeds the “10 Percent” model. For example, I am a novelist who regularly plugs into Jeff Warren’s creativity and ocean-breathing meditations to plum the depths and get through logjams.
