    About this audiobook

    Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., a twenty-year researcher at the National Institute of Mental Health and the celebrated psychiatrist who pioneered the study and treatment of Season Affective Disorder (SAD), brings us the most important work on transcendental meditation since the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Science of Being and Art of Living-and one of our generation's most significant books on achieving greater physical and mental health and wellness.

    Transcendence demystifies the practice and benefits of transcendental meditation for a general audience who may have heard about the method but do not necessarily know what it is, how it is learned, or what they stand to gain, physically and emotionally, from achieving transcendence. Dr. Rosenthal clearly and practically explains the basic ideas behind transcendental meditation: It is a nonreligious practice that involves sitting comfortably for twenty minutes twice a day while using a silent mantra, or nonverbal sound, to attain a profound state of aware relaxation.

    Alongside exclusive celebrity interviews-where figures like Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Martin Scorsese, Russell Brand, Laura Dern, Moby, and David Lynch openly discuss their meditation-Dr. Rosenthal draws upon experience from the lives of his patients and a wealth of clinical research amassed on transcendental meditation over the past generation (340 peer-reviewed published articles). He provides the fullest and most accessible book ever on the broad range of benefits of this remarkably simple practice, from relief of anxiety, stress and depression to new hope for those experiencing addiction, attention-deficit disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder.

      Nothing more than a sales pitch to get a teacher to train you in TM.

      When humans practice kindness perhaps the world would be a sweeter place. "By now", sounds ego driven. There are plenty new to the scene, open minded, compassionate. Shame the connoisseur reviewers don't practice "the practice".

      Great find!

      I didn't find any totally new revelations in this book. Yes, Transcendental Meditation works, we know it by now. And, of course, the use of this kind of meditation is narrowed by the fact that it has to be taught to you by a teacher, who whispers a mantra for your ears only to remember and meditate on. This cannot be learned from books or lectures, and this limits the availability of it to just everybody.
