I used Waking Up pretty regularly for a year or two. In the first week or two I found profound benefits. I started to appreciate the sensations and imagery of things around me (something that Sam Harris focuses on). I was able to pay attention through an entire boring weekly all-hands meeting with no trouble for the first time ever. My focus performing work improved similarly. After that my experience regressed back to beneficial but not profound. By the end of it, I couldn't even meditate anymore. Lots of things in life seem to follow this pattern for me. At least this one was somewhat beneficial for a longer time.
