In this bitesize episode, I speak to neuroscientist and Waking Up app creator Sam Harris about the real purpose of meditation — not just calming the mind, but seeing through the illusion that we are the mind. We talk about why people struggle with their thoughts, how we get tangled in them, and what it means to see thoughts for what they really are — fleeting appearances in awareness. As I often say: you are not your thoughts — you're aware of them. This shift changes everything.

In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Cameron McAllister and Nathan Rittenhouse perform an intellectual autopsy of the New Atheist movement, reflecting on its cultural rise and current irrelevance. They unpack why arguments from figures like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, and Sam Harris no longer resonate—especially in light of Christianity's enduring philosophical and moral foundations. With references to current debates, including a dismantling of Lawrence Krauss's secular claims, this episode provides Christians with a robust understanding of how to engage secular critiques with grace and intellectual rigor.

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek.

This episode features two of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek.

When a loosely connected group of disgruntled liberals burst onto the scene to tackle the problem of wokeness, it seemed like a big deal. Men like Jordan Peterson, Sam Harris, and Eric Weinstein found huge audiences while stressing the importance of free speech and open dialogue. But now, a decade after they made their mark, many members of the "intellectual dark web" have changed their tune and are now calling for censorship and deplatforming. Comedian Dave Smith, who has found himself a target of these deplatforming efforts, joins me to discuss.

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Dr. Michael Thiessen delve into Buddhism's surprising influence on Western thought. They discuss the core teachings of Buddhism, its impact on Western minds through figures like Sam Harris and the Dalai Lama, and why Buddhism's philosophy offers little more than a self-salvation death cult. The conversation contrasts Buddhist detachment with Christian transformation and looks at how Christians can respond to and understand these cross-cultural influences. The episode also explores the global sociopolitical implications of popular Buddhist teachings and highlights the superiority of a Christian worldview rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Sam Harris speaks with his wife, Annaka Harris, about LIGHTS ON, her ten-part audio documentary exploring the perplexities of consciousness and the cosmos. They discuss the hard problem of consciousness, whether consciousness is fundamental, what split-brain patients can teach us about consciousness, what consciousness being fundamental could mean for the world of physics, and other topics. After Annaka's conversation with Sam, we present an excerpt from LIGHTS ON. Chapter 8: Space and Time features author and science writer George Musser, as well as physicists Lee Smolin and Carlo Rovelli. Annaka draws on their noted expertise to explore some of the most mystifying conclusions in quantum theory, how they may validate certain meditative insights, and the ways in which they challenge our basic understanding of reality. Everyday experience tells us that space fills the universe; that causes have effects across time; that the future exists only as potential; that consciousness is confined to intelligent creatures, rather than fundamental to the very structure of being. These bedrock assumptions, when examined through both modern physics and contemplative practices, prove surprisingly fragile—and the fabric of existence profoundly counterintuitive.   If the Making Sense podcast logo in your player is BLACK, you can SUBSCRIBE to gain access to all full-length episodes at samharris.org/subscribe.
