10. Sam Harris' WAKING UP Guided Meditation App is excellent. It is my favorite App of this kind as I personally sync with Sam's clear, rational voice which cuts through the fog of confusion. If you're unable to afford the App, you can request a 'Scholarship' on their website and they will provide you free access until you can afford it! Calm and Headspace are also great!
