Resumen del Editor

Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D., a 20-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 20 minutes twice a day while using a silent mantra, or nonverbal sound, to attain a profound state of aware relaxation.

Alongside exclusive celebrity interviews - in which such figures as 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 (including 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.

Great info

Great info on how TM works, but unfortunately doesn't explain how to do it. To do it you have to go to expensive one on one classes.

excellent

What did you love best about Transcendence?

It was interesting, upbeat, used research to back up claims. That said, you must have an open mind to listen to-it does sound a bit like like the author is trying to convince rather than educate.Having worked in health care for 20 years, his claims actully make sense.

What other book might you compare Transcendence to and why?

None

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

All

Any additional comments?

The reader was excellent.

Very detail account on the TM technique

This book is the prelude to Super Mind. It explains in real terms as well as scientific terms the TM technique, it's benefits and how to properly use it. I'm keeping this book in my mobile to listen over and over to improve my tm experience.

A Great Scientific Discovery and a Great Read

Would you listen to Transcendence again? Why?

Rosenthal takes the mystery out of mysticism with practical explanations supported by extensive research, and at the same time makes science interesting and readable. It is a common supposition that meditation has something to do with religion and is in competition with prayer or other beliefs. But Rosenthal's explanations make it obvious that Transcendental Meditation is not only religion neutral--requiring no belief or spiritual bent--but is in fact mental hygiene, as necessary as brushing one's teeth. The word TRANSCENDENCE means "to go beyond." Anyone who is interested in getting beyond their present state (no matter how good it might be), improving his or her mental and physical health, sense of well-being, expanding creativity and personal development and learning about expanding consciousness to higher states will find this book useful. I have meditated for many years and can vouch for TM's effectiveness but it is often difficult to explain to others why TM is so powerful, so I admire Rosenthal's writing all the more because he explains it so well.He succeeds in explaining the benefits from a scientific and medical perspective that is not only informative but inspiring, even humorous at times. His writing style is down to earth and easy to read, with great anecdotal stories and supportive scientific facts. I'm already sold on TM's benefits, but I'd read this again just for the pleasure of it.

excellent book

31 years of TM has so very much improved my life. After meditating about 4 months, general anxiety went out the window!

Inspirational yet "Informercional"

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would add more specific meditation instruction.

If you’ve listened to books by Norman E. Rosenthal before, how does this one compare?

n/a

What three words best describe Gildart Jackson’s performance?

His tone of voice and style is very inspirational and motivational.

Was Transcendence worth the listening time?

Yes and no.

Any additional comments?

There was plenty of wonderful telling of how important transcendental meditation is. I believe it, I would have liked less selling of meditation centers and more information about the meditation process itself.

imformative, easy to listen to, powerful message

Transcendental Meditation has the potential to change the world for the better, both at the personal level and at the community level. Rosenthal makes the case well, with anecdotes, research evidence, and theory in an easy to understand style. Gildart Jackson's narration is pleasant and well done.
