Do you guys meditate? Any advice? (hexbear.net)

Everyone keeps talking about meditation and I try to get into meditation like every year. I've read a couple of books. I have a pirated Headspace course on my phone but I don't really vibe with it, it bores me for some reason. I tried a trial of the Sam Harris meditation app that seemed pretty cool, more theoretical and technical, which appealed to my nerdy side, but the trial is only a week and I haven't figured a way to pirate it. Either way I always end of doing it consistently for a couple of weeks or so and fail to form a habit.

What am I doing wrong? What's a good book, program, guided thing or whatever that keeps you going and developing your meditation practice? Maybe the whole meditation thing is overhyped and I shouldn't even bother?

"The mind illuminated" (you can pirate it on libgen) might be good for you. It has different stages to work on, where the first is just getting a daily practice started. (the first half of the audibook is on youtube as well)
