Just signed up - love it. There are a lot of meditation programs out there but I really love the way this builds on itself with new custom recordings each time. That variation I think is key.
The mobile app interface kinda reminds me of TwoDots, in a really good way :)
@kevinrose and @mulligan were raving about Headspace the other day.
The video pitch uses the tagline "gym membership for the mind." I really like that positioning for the non-meditating audience like myself.
I tried this out nearly two years ago when they were starting. A bunch of other players have entered the space but Headspace mastered it. I have even gone so far as to hire a meditation coach in the past (you can ask if it was worth it) but headspace was one of the quickest paths to enabling me to reach the sort of "out of body" experience. I only experienced it once or twice and from then on only hoped to :)
@tferriss mentioned this on Tea Time with Tim (periscope 😍). I had to give it a try.
Been using this for 2 weeks. I never really "believed" in meditation before. But it's totally life changing. Feels like gaining a new super power.
Beyond being more relaxed, it teaches you how to let things go and keep your attention on what's important. I'm finding this is bleeding into my day-to-day and making my life easier. Learning how to let things go into 1 ear and out the other, without draining you of energy/focus = hugely valuable.
been using headspace for almost a year, made a huge difference for my awareness in general. such a casual and powerful experience, much different than anything else out there! would encourage anyone to give a try to their free take10 series!
Haven't played with the new version, but it looks phenomenal. Excited to play with it. @kevinrose and i were saying on the last product hunt radio that we love this company, but their iOS app was lacking. Looks like a huge improvement.
Love headspace! I have been meditating (was forced to at school) since a kid, and never understood its value until Headspace. Very pragmatic approach to meditation & cleverly positioned to be only very slightly spiritual.
just showed my designer this app. she got real competitive - "what we're building has to be better!" i told her it's being recognized as absolutely gorgeous and is a top top standard... but thanks for the kick in the butt :)
i've enjoyed headspace for a while and this redesign is awesome. it used to be very simple though, and i'm a bit confused how to get around it now. i think it will require a fairly big learning commitment to rewire how i used to use the app. perhaps it's easier for new users. they used to only have one meditation track and now with several, i feel frozen by choice. maybe the meditation will help...
This is probably my favorite app, in all of history. I can be dramatic like this because it genuinely changed my life. It has helped me to dramatically reduce and "control" my anxiety, as well as help me to be calmer and happier. THANK YOU, HEADSPACE.
Hands down the best product to serve a very important aspect of your life, straight forward flows and beautiful handholding process. Thank you Headspace for making an app that truly makes people happy!!!
