Dr. Rosenthal’s broad-ranging book will appeal both to newcomers who want to know the basics of this ancient technique, as well as seasoned meditators wishing to broaden their knowledge and deepen their understanding about it.
By presenting a mix of fascinating stories, published research, and his own clinical and personal experience with the Transcendental Meditation® (TM) technique, Dr. Rosenthal illustrates the value of TM in promoting cardiac health, reducing anxiety and depression, and helping people suffering from traumatic stress and addiction.
Dr. Rosenthal emphasizes that the TM technique can especially help highly successful people to live fuller and richer lives. He illustrates this in interviews with prominent meditators like Paul McCartney, Martin Scorsese, Moby, Russell Brand, and Laura Dern.
