[message]Transcendental Meditation seems now to be a pretty well-established way to find inner peace and happiness and that’s what this book is trying to help with. Back in the day people would picture Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and the Beatles in Rishikesh, but it’s much cooler now with the filmmaker David Lynch a huge advocate. The book doesn’t give exercises on how to do it – I think for that you need a direct teacher – but it is full of statistics and anecdotes about the effectiveness of TM and of meditation and spiritual practice in general. It also gives a lot of useful background about the Vedas and the background to TM generally in the Hindu scriptures. Even though I have no personal interest in the practice, I found this an uplifting book.
