Helped me get back into meditation after a 5 years. Very helpful and informative.

Even though the book doesn't specifically teach TM in detail there's a lot of information in it!

Still reading, it's a very. Nice book, good motivation to keep up my twice daily practice. This of course dosent teach you the tech Tho.

I remember reading this book in 1973, when it first came out, and being impressed by its clear and friendly style. The book was genuinely helpful in understanding what meditation is (Transcendental or otherwise), and who Maharishi is and what he was trying to accomplish. This was done without any of the emerging "new age" jargon or vagueness that later came to be associated with terms like meditation, yoga, guru, and the like.Since that time (full disclosure) I have become friends with Jack Forem, and we have stayed in touch for the last 40 years. Many books on TM and/or Maharishi have come out, some good and some utterly misinformed. It's a great relief to me that Jack's book is now back in print, significantly revised and updated, to serve as the most accessible and most complete account of what Maharishi taught to so many people for so many years. The other books have individual appeal, but this -- to me -- is the one that covers all the bases, and does so without selling anything or "debunking" anything. TM works, and there's no significant debate in the face of hundreds of studies of its benefits, but how and why it works are good to know.For decades I've recommended the original version of this book (long out of print) to all kinds of people, and none of them has ever had a bad word to say about it. Now that it's been brought up to date, and is back in print, I look forward to recommending it for another few decades. If you're already practicing TM, this book may clarify a lot of things for you. If you're just curious, or want to get a more realistic idea who Maharishi was, this book is a great introduction (with plenty of depth as well). If you're thinking of trying TM for yourself, this book is like a long weekend chatting with a friendly expert. (Learning TM doesn't take that long, but learning ABOUT it is pretty fascinating.)

Je m'attendais à un livre sur le "comment", et le livre est uniquement focalisé sur le "pourquoi". Difficile dans ces conditions de se faire un avis sur ce qu'est vraiment cette méditation transcendantale.
