Hi Richard, If you're talking about 10% Happier, the book has a link near the beginning. If you follow that link, all the Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics material will be free to you, regardless of whether you get a subscription. I believe the app also has a Meditation Basics course that is always free, and when they introduce new courses, some material is free. So even if you don't subscribe, there will be quite a bit of material available, especially if you follow the link in the book.
Also, while subscribing usually costs $100 for a year, they send out sale coupons sometimes. Over Labor Day weekend, for example, it was 50% off,.
