Waking up app by Sam Harris. Sam Harris is a scientist, philosopher, and a very intelligent and seemingly humble human. His app contains guided meditation, a podcast with researchers, mathematicians, philosophers, psychologists, etc, and humans who work to help make the world a better place. If we feel lost in the world, this podcast could help us discover others who are like us.
