"He wrote Waking Up back in 2014, and the app is based on the insights from that book. What's interesting about Sam is that people mostly knew him as one of the Four Horsemen of New Atheism, but what they didn't know is that he spent much of his twenties going back and forth between Nepal and India studying primarily with Tibetan Buddhist teachers, also Advaita traditions."
"When he created the app, he wanted to present teachings from many traditions in a secular way so people in the modern age could connect with these deep wisdom teachings. My role is helping steward content for the app. I'm deeply involved in meditation practice myself, and I was a user of the app before joining the team. It's great work."
"The best way is to go to wakingup.com/michaeltaft. Anyone who goes there gets a free 30-day trial-no credit card required. They can listen to your series and everything else on the app. We have the entire Alan Watts collection and many of your colleagues and contemporaries. Your series launches January 20th. Part one goes live then. Half the sessions are available now, and the rest will roll out in a month or two."
