Thank you for your practice, and enjoy the app. I first discovered Sam Harris through his podcast, Making Sense, which is still my favorite podcast of all time. I felt less insecure, less anxious, less angry, less anticipatory, less critical, bit by bit, each session. And this continues to be true. Sam, I wish I could look you in the eyes and tell you this in person: This app and your podcast have made me a better person.
My interactions feel lighter. I am less self critical. I am less reactive. I am a better critical thinker. Your work pushes those who listen over and through the walls we put up, the walls created by childhood, by fear, by habit, by politics, by culture. I will end with this: This app is for everyone.

Hence when we grasp these ideas through this small mind, there is just exasperation. The aim of true teaching is to awaken the teacher in each one of us. If someone suggested this can be achieved with a digital medium in the form of a smart phone app, literally everyone in the world will find it silly.
Sam Harris thankfully is not one of them and for that I Thank him I wish there is a way to express the amplitude behind that Thanks, but my grasp of English is sadly inadequate.
