I have to admit, I was expecting a how-to on Transendental Meditiation. This book is 308 pages on why you should pay $1000 to go to a center and learn TM.

TM may be wonderful, but the book actually made me feel wary. I was originally drawn to TM by news reports of lowered blood pressure and stress reduction in practicers The book's emphasis on all the wonderful things you get, with very little effort, and very little detail on how, smacked, just a bit, of secret societies and too-good-to-be-true, $1000, instant-fixs.

And, to be honest, I wasn't looking for a sales tool, I was looking for a how-to, so I feel a little silly and a little duped.

This book offers a lot of insight into the benefits of Transcendental Meditation (TM). It is not a how-to book, but there are no how-to books. You can only learn this technique from a qualified instructor.

Denniston's book is a great introduction to the benefits of the TM technique. It is straight forward and easy to follow. A great companion to this book is TM Transcendental Meditation by Robert Roth. Both of these are the premier titles of the Transcendental Meditation Organization (www.tm.org).

The results of TM are immediate. $1,000 is a lot of money to pay to learn this technique, but once you start practicing TM you will feel that every penny was worth it. After just practicing TM once I had so much energy. I went home and cleaned my entire apartment in just a few hours--a chore that used to be an all-day event. Tasks that used to seem demanding became effortless.

Practicing TM also increases your entire well-being. You will feel blissful and happier. Big problems become manageable. Personal stores of the results of TM are also presented.

This book discusses the many benefits of TM including scientific studies that discuss the physiological benefits of the technique. I highly recommend the book.

A simple book which beautifully illustrates and explores the benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique.
