An Antidote to Violence recaps TM social research
11. An Antidote to Violence: Evaluating the Evidence, by Barry Spivack and Patricia Saunders, is now available at MIU Press. While there is significant scientific research showing that the TM technique has a positive influence on the health and well-being of individuals, is there any evidence that large-scale TM practice can have a similar influence on societies in reducing stress and levels of violence? The authors reveal the answer to this urgent question with the latest scientific research. This book is also available at the University Store. If you’re an MIU alum, be sure to ask about your discount.
