I very much enjoy seeing everyone of your new illustrations that pops up in the Waking Up app. But this is huge!

I followed your lead and started meditating after a crisis post surgery. It got me out of a real hole. And then, last year I used the app to help my dad.

He’s a technophobe, but I used an old iPhone and cleared everything off the home screen apart from the Waking Up app. I loaded up the introductory course and after a couple of days of doing it with him, I left him to it whilst I went off to Cornwall.

I came back a fortnight later and he had whizzed through the entire course. It was the thing that got him out of his head and back into the garden. Both are now transformed. He is happy and the garden is no longer the jungle it was.

Thank you again.

That is incredible! Love this story.

Thank you, Alex. Very glad your dad got out of his head and back into the garden --and that it got you out of that post-surgery hole. Hope you're doing better now :)

I love this man, congratulations on such a great project! I struggle with branding my own publication, but the work you’re doing here is inspiring some ideas!

This is crazy timely, I actually just started using the Waking Up app a few weeks ago (I'm on day 12)! Really liking it so far. Somehow I had no idea those beautiful portraits were yours but I totally see it now!

Also, huge congrats on your book birthday—just ordered my copy! 🐶
