Everyone keeps talking about meditation and I try to get into meditation like every year. I've read a couple of books. I have a pirated Headspace course on my phone but I don't really vibe with it, it bores me for some reason. I tried a trial of the Sam Harris meditation app that seemed pretty cool, more theoretical and technical, which appealed to my nerdy side, but the trial is only a week and I haven't figured a way to pirate it. Either way I always end of doing it consistently for a couple of weeks or so and fail to form a habit.

What am I doing wrong? What's a good book, program, guided thing or whatever that keeps you going and developing your meditation practice? Maybe the whole meditation thing is overhyped and I shouldn't even bother?

    I tried a trial of the Sam Harris meditation app

    He's a bigoted cryptofascist that's deep in bed with the ruling class and even his credentials are fabrications conjured up from his parents' money that bought him a foundation to assign himself a doctorate he doesn't actually practice and doesn't ever submit peer-reviewed papers for.

    Go with someone, almost anyone else. Please.

      As I've said, the trial period I had on his app is over and I haven't figured out how to pirate it, so I'm safe for now.
