“Transcendental Meditation gives you what you need, when you need it. It’s literally changed my life. Some of the clearest ideas or epiphanies I’ve had in life happened during or after meditating. Everything becomes clear, and the truth starts coming out,” actor Hugh Jackman told David Lynch Foundation’s Executive Director Bob Roth during Bob’s monthly SiriusXM interview series, “Success without Stress.”

“With Transcendental Meditation, the decisions you make are more authentic. You’re better able to listen to other people—and as an actor, it’s all you’ve got.” —Hugh Jackman

“One thing about my job is there is a high level of stress that’s easy to buy into. It doesn’t matter how long you’re doing it. For each new role, there’s some element about it that’s risky, frightening, and potentially very stressful. With Transcendental Meditation, the decisions you make are more authentic. You’re better able to listen to other people—and as an actor, it’s all you’ve got. It’s helped me immeasurably in every way. I’m a completely different person now that I am meditating.”

Handling fame
“When I step out of a car onto a red carpet and there’s 3,000 people cheering, then deep down, I’m actually connecting with their calm inner-self. Meditation makes me see what’s true and real. It’s not an inborn talent; it’s a technique that anyone can learn.”
