Transcendence: Healing and Transformation Through Transcendental Meditation

A big no....monotonous book....rather buy books on mindfulness....like fully present

This was my second reading of this book. It is the most powerful and useful book I have ever read, arguing a sound case, well backed by research, on the value of transcendental meditation. I took up the technique after reading this book 4 years ago, and can testify to its power and the transformation it made to my life.

This book confirmed that my decision to study how to practice TM is a good one, providing lots of evidence (both scientific and anecdotal) on the benefits of TM practice. I now cannot wait for my course to start, and I think reading the book in advance has helped with my motivation to ensure I will find the time for the 2 x 20 min daily sessions of TM that that practice recommends.

A great introduction to Transcendental Meditation and its benefits. As a new meditator, I found it consolidated my own early experience of TM and what it was already doing for me, but also it gave me the why.Everyone should learn TM - this book is an excellent place to start if you are considering it.

This is a scholarly consideration of the benefits of TM - interesting and impressive but clinical and certainly not a guide to TM for someone looking to take it up.
