Making Sense with Sam Harris

Join neuroscientist, philosopher, and five-time New York Times best-selling author Sam Harris as he explores important and controversial questions about the mind, society, current events, moral philosophy, religion, and rationality—with an overarching focus on how a growing understanding of ourselves and the world is changing our sense of how we should live. Sam is also the creator of the Waking Up app. Combining Sam’s decades of mindfulness practice, profound wisdom from varied philosophical and contemplative traditions, and a commitment to a secular, scientific worldview, Waking Up is a resource for anyone interested in living a more examined, fulfilling life—and a new operating system for the mind. Waking Up offers free subscriptions to anyone who can’t afford one, and donates a minimum of 10% of profits to the most effective charities around the world. To learn more, please go to WakingUp.com. Sam Harris received a degree in philosophy from Stanford University and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA.

A “must have” podcast with profound conversations
15/08/2021
If there is one thing that the Making Sense podcast have taught me it is this: disagreeing without being disagreeable. Sam is diving in to fascinating topics, which are often very difficult to talk about and understand. It definitely helps me to make sense of the world. I don’t agree with everything that is being said, which is precisely why I think it is so good. Thanks, Sam - for your work and dedication. If I could ever only listen to one podcast, it would be this one. Oliver, Denmark
The podcast of a public enemy
30/01/2024
Sam Harris support conspiracies between state intelligence agencies and independent media to undermine the democratic proces. He stated this very clearly and refuse to go back on the statement event after several mild mannered attempts from colleagues to help him see the error of his judgement. He should be boycottet by all organisations and people until he issues an apology and retraction of his antidemocratic remarks om triggernometry in 2022.
Intelectually stimulating

The podcast is an intellectual beacon.
24/07/2020
Making Sense is one of the most enlightening podcasts out there. Sam Harris is an intellectual beacon for those looking for a rational, fact based, compassionate, and genuinely liberal perspective on current events and pressing matters. Sam Harris bravely enacts intellectual freedom and is seldomly willing to ignore popular sentiments and the sometimes considerable pressures for conforming to these. Sam Harris engages knowably across a broad range of subjects and is both capable of genuinely listening while also willing to uncompromisingly push back on idiocy and untenable positions.
