Take A Break! Take A Break! is another iOS and Android app from the
Meditation Oasis podcast. It is very similar to the Simply
Being app but offers two more guided meditations
featured on the podcast. People who are curious about
the Simply Being app but are apprehensive about paying
should give Take A Break! a try first, since this one is
free.

free alternative to the Simply Being app for
people who want to try out the Meditation
Oasis podcast’s apps without spending any
money, however, it’s also less popular and
has a slightly lower rating than most of our
other recommended apps (about 4.5).
 Emotional Intelligince
Emotional intelligence can lead us on the
path to a fulfilled and happy life by providing
a framework through which to apply
standards of intelligence to emotional
responses and understand that these
responses may be logically consistent or
inconsistent with particular beliefs about
emotion.

Benjamin Franklin

“If you are interested in emotions, learning about them will satisfy
your curiosity. If you depend upon emotional knowledge in your job,
learning more about emotions would likely help.”
