Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion is a 2014 book by Sam Harris that discusses a wide range of topics including secular spirituality (essentially within the context of spiritual naturalism), the illusion of the self, psychedelics, and meditation. He attempts to show that a certain form of spirituality is integral to understanding the nature of the mind. In late September 2014, the book reached #5 on The New York Times Non-Fiction Best Sellers list.
In September 2018 Harris released a meditation app entitled "Waking Up with Sam Harris." Harris' podcast had previously been titled Waking Up, but he retitled it Making Sense to differentiate it from his meditation app.
