Loading... Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditationby Bob Roth
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. I have been exploring the concept of TM for a while now and truly think that it is something that I would find helpful. Honestly, the initial investment $400 is what is keeping me from jumping in right now. Maybe someday. That being said, the book was very interesting and reaffirmed the need for TM in so many aspects of the world today. Buyer beware. This is a long sales pitch for Transcendental Meditation. Thankfully, I got it from the library, and didn't buy it. What a waste. no reviews | add a review
Instant New York Times Bestseller A simple, straightforward exploration of Transcendental Meditation and its benefits from world authority Bob Roth. Oprah Winfrey and Jerry Seinfeld. Ray Dalio and Ellen DeGeneres. Gwyneth Paltrow and Howard Stern. Tom Hanks and Gisele Bündchen. What do they have in common? The answer is a Transcendental Meditation teacher named Bob Roth, who has spent the past forty-five years helping many thousands of people access their innate creativity and power through this simple, nonreligious technique. Roth's students range from titans of business and the arts to federal prisoners, from war-scarred veterans to overworked moms and dads. Medical experts agree that the epidemic of stress is damaging our physical and emotional health at younger and younger ages. While there is no one single cure, the Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple practice that dramatically changes how we respond to stress and life's challenges. With scientifically proven benefits-- reduced stress and anxiety, and improved focus, sleep, resilience, creativity, and memory, to name a few--this five-thousand-year-old technique has a clear and direct impact on our very modern problems. Once a skeptic, Roth trained under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the twentieth century's foremost scientist of consciousness and meditation, and has since become one of the most experienced and sought-after meditation teachers in the world. In Strength in Stillness, Roth breaks down the science behind Transcendental Meditation in a new, accessible way. He highlights the three distinct types of meditation--Focused Attention, Open Monitoring, and Self-Transcending--and showcases the evidence that the third, Self-Transcending, or Transcendental Meditation, is a uniquely accessible, effective, and efficient way to reduce stress, access inner power, and build resilience. Free of gimmicks, mystical verbiage, and obscure theory, Strength in Stillness offers a clear explanation for how Transcendental Meditation can calm the mind, body, and spirit.

What it does tell you is the underlying principles and ideas of it, why it works, who it works for. There are also details of lots of individual experiences. This is written quite well, but after you get a certain way through it feels like you're not reading anything new.
This book has its place, but the wording on the covers is misleading. (
