你有嘗試過冥想嗎?反正這個(gè)事在美國(guó)挺流行的,尤其是80后和90后,硅谷的冥想風(fēng)氣也很盛。
由于這個(gè)風(fēng)潮,冥想相關(guān)的APP也感受到了春天,2019年生意做得相當(dāng)好。

The?millennial obsession with wellness and self-care has led to a booming business for meditation apps.?
千禧一代對(duì)身心健康和自我保健的癡迷促進(jìn)了冥想應(yīng)用軟件業(yè)務(wù)的發(fā)展。
In the first quarter of 2018, app intelligence firm Sensor Tower reported the top 10 “self-care” apps had pulled in some $27 million in revenue. Fast-forward to the end of 2019, and the numbers have gotten much higher.?
2018年第一季度,應(yīng)用軟件情報(bào)公司Sensor Tower(一家移動(dòng)應(yīng)用數(shù)據(jù)分析公司)報(bào)告稱,排名前十的“自我保健”應(yīng)用軟件已獲得約2700萬美元的收入。到2019年年末,其收益更高了。
According to Sensor Tower’s latest data, just the top 10 highest-grossing meditation apps of 2019 — a subset of “self-care” apps — grew to $195 million. That’s a 52% year-over-year increase.
據(jù)Sensor Tower最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示,2019年最賺錢的十大冥想應(yīng)用(“自我保健”應(yīng)用的一類)的總收益就增長(zhǎng)至1.95億美元,與去年同期相比增長(zhǎng)了52%。
Meditation apps were already leading the self-care app market back in 2018, with apps like Calm, Headspace and 10% Happier driving revenue. Other self-care apps focused on mindfulness or yoga were popular as well, but further down the charts.
早在2018年,冥想類應(yīng)用就已經(jīng)在自我保健類應(yīng)用市場(chǎng)上領(lǐng)先,而Calm(平靜)、Headspace(內(nèi)心世界)和10% Happier(更開心10%)等冥想類應(yīng)用的收益皆有所增長(zhǎng)。其他專注于正念或瑜伽的自我保健類應(yīng)用也很受歡迎,不過其排名要靠后一些。
Over the course of 2018, the top 10 meditation apps alone ended up generating $128 million in revenue. That was a huge increase from just a few years prior, when the top 10 meditation apps of 2015 had only pulled in just over $8 million in revenue.
2018年,僅排名前十的冥想類應(yīng)用就創(chuàng)造了1.28億美元的收益。與前幾年相比,收益大幅增長(zhǎng)。就在2015年,排名前十的冥想類應(yīng)用的收益才剛剛超過800萬美元。
In 2019, the top 10 meditation apps grew revenues to $195 million.
2019年,排名前十的冥想類應(yīng)用的收益增長(zhǎng)至1.95億美元。
Only two apps, however, have been in the top 10 list since 2015. Calm, which is estimated to have grossed $92 million in 2019, and Headspace, which grossed $56 million. Both saw revenues up year-over-year, as well, at 46% and 33%, respectively.
然而,自2015年以來,只有兩款(自我保健類)應(yīng)用位列應(yīng)用榜前十。2019年,Calm應(yīng)用的總收益預(yù)估為9200萬美元,而Headspace應(yīng)用的總收益預(yù)估為5600萬美元。與去年同期相比,這兩款應(yīng)用的收益皆有所增長(zhǎng),且分別增長(zhǎng)了46%和33%。

冥想Meditation
正兒八經(jīng)的冥想并不只是閉眼休息,而是通過一些技巧來訓(xùn)練自己的專注力和感知能力,同時(shí)達(dá)到思維和情感上的冷靜狀態(tài),現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)有很多與此相關(guān)的書籍、課程、app。但是學(xué)者們目前很難給冥想這個(gè)概念下定義,因?yàn)槿蚋鞯氐内は氩顒e很大。
