The Transcendental Meditation TM Book : How to Enjoy the Rest of Your Life

The second part of the title of this book says it all. You won't learn how to meditate in this book, but you will read all you need to know about how to enjoy the rest of your life, which means that when you learn TM (Transcendental Meditation) from a qualified teacher, you will enjoy whatever comes next. This book is an easy, enjoyable read, just like TM itself, which is easy and enjoyable, but there are also scientific studies (by now, about 700 have been published in journals all around the world) which support all that this book claims, and much, much more. Charts and specific data is included to show that TM provides deep rest, twice as deep as deep sleep, but that you are completely awake inside during meditation, and that this deep rest gives the body a chance to throw off deep stesses, which is what holds people back from lasting happiness and perfect health. If everyone in the U.S. were to start TM, the hospitals would close down, and most doctors would have little to do. And this is just the beginning. It also mentions world peace. Sure, it's hard to believe, but the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and everyone should enjoy this sweet treat, which is all backed up by the scientific studies already mentioned. It's all online at TM.org. There are always going to be people who are skeptical, which is fine. You don't have to believe anything for TM to work. In fact, a healthy dose of skepticism is good since it's a natural, automatic technique. Finally, the huge volume of scientific work done on TM over about fifty years makes it unique. This charming book is an invitation you can't miss.

This is THE bestseller book on TM with more a Million copies in Print.Best book for someone who wants to know about the benefits they will have if they do TM.TM can never be learned from a book like any skill like painting, sports, music can't be learnt from a book. The TM fees maybe a bit high, but remember you have a life time of followup. I learnt TM in 1996, I still visit my local TM center for group meditation on Thursdays and still discuss my meditation with the TM teachers for free, nearly 20 years after i learnt it paying the fees!!!The Book is well illustrated , lots of charts, bar diagrams, pie charts which make it easy to understand the benefits and differences between TM and others. The language is in a Socratic Question and Answer format and most of the questions are the ones any new comer would ask anyway. I use it to reinforce my TM practice whenever i slacken, to remind myself of the benefits i get for such a short investment of time everyday.

This is lighthearted, informative, a great read, and all still relevant!

Very informative and easy to read. I loved this book because it uses humor to take the mystery out of what can be a very confusing and misunderstood topic. Not intended as a 'how-to' book, "The TM Book" explains what TM is and what it is not. What it is: Easy, Effortless and Unique. What it is not: Religion, Lifestyle or Philosophy. This book introduces the reader to TM's wide range of benefits like decreased blood pressure, better sleep, less stress, better relationships and even lower crime rate! Everyone should get this book and read it!

.. Excellent, the REASON-(s).. to choose, this form of Meditation. Proof n explanations..abound. I suggest, this reading.. for those considering nd those who, are Meditating .. This is so positive nd reaffirming.. I Hope anyone considering Meditation..lOOK HERE FIRST. !!

this is a great book about TM and why its good to do,,,love the illustrations especially the one about sitting in the dark and all you have to do is turn on the light,, it was one of the first books on TM ,,,still so good :)

One of the best introductions to TM in book form. The artistic drawings make it an entertaining read

Was not actually informative about TM in any specific way, was disappointed and felt like it was just bait to pay for the very expensive courses. Boiled down, you cannot begin the practice on any level after reading this. It is a lot of run around instead of any actual content or descriptions of what TM is in its actual practice. Bummed for sure that it does seem to be only for the rich.

Great book tbh

Good book. Fast delivery

This is a very important topic ---how to reduce stress and increase creativity through the TM technique...presented in a very entertaining way.

The whole book is an advert.

This is not how to take part in TM procedure or how to meditate. It is merely selling the courses and detailing all the different reasons why TM is said to be beneficial. Waste of money and disappointing.
