I do agree cancelling the subscription was difficult, but this was a horrendous effort at signing up people to their site. A sudden chat window to check if i'm interested. And then last page call to action trying to sign me up for more case studies in big bold buttons. The author doesn't seem to be following their own advice.
The teams UI is so fragile that I often end up reacting an embarrassing emoji on random messages. A single meeting usually drains the entire battery. I can't imagine how this kind of application gets passed QA and shipped.
Keyword here being we. Why can't people live in harmony and instead fight for a separatist nation inside a tiny little island?
Being a Buddhist born person living in a mostly Buddhist country this saddens me. It seems all this hype with so called Buddhist retreats and meditation apps in the western world is pretty much twisting the teachings of Buddha. Monks have practiced meditation for centuries without any adverse effects as mentioned in the article. It seems like they focus on _state of being mindful_ than really being mindful. Meditation is not that difficult. And certainly does not require an app or a spiritual guide. Try learning a little about Buddhism and read up on meditation.(maybe avoid the best sellers and go for something written by a real monk?)
