What do they have in common? The answer is a Transcendental Meditation teacher named Bob Roth, who has spent the past fifty years helping many thousands of people access their innate creativity and power through this simple, nonreligious technique. Roth’s students range from titans of business and the arts to federal prisoners, from war-scarred veterans to overworked moms and dads.

Medical experts agree that the epidemic of stress is damaging our physical and emotional health at younger and younger ages. While there is no one single cure, the Transcendental Meditation technique is a simple practice that dramatically changes how we respond to stress and life’s challenges. With scientifically proven benefits— reduced stress and anxiety, and improved focus, sleep, resilience, creativity, and memory, to name a few—this five-thousand-year-old technique has a clear and direct impact on our very modern problems.

Once a skeptic, Roth trained under Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the twentieth century’s foremost scientist of consciousness and meditation, and has since become one of the most experienced and sought-after meditation teachers in the world. In Strength in Stillness, Roth breaks down the science behind Transcendental Meditation in a new, accessible way. He highlights the three distinct types of meditation—Focused Attention, Open Monitoring, and Self-Transcending—and showcases the evidence that the third, Self-Transcending, or Transcendental Meditation, is a uniquely accessible, effective, and efficient way to reduce stress, access inner power, and build resilience.

Free of gimmicks, mystical verbiage, and obscure theory, Strength in Stillness offers a clear explanation for how Transcendental Meditation can calm the mind, body, and spirit.

Very well written and engaging.

Loved this book. It completely capture TM. TM has changed my life for the better. Thanks for writing this book to break it down and share peoples real experiences.

The book talks about the benefits only

It does not tell you how to practice meditation. They are just making a case of why you should meditate which most people already know

Good but a bit long

This book is good if you are skeptical or don’t know anything about it. If you are already sold there is not much new info.

Great into to TM

While this book only serves as an introduction, I think it is a vitally important work to raise awareness of this practice which is like handing someone the keys to the greatest machine of all: the human mind. Included in this book is WHY you need to learn TM from a certified teacher.

Great listen!

This story was intriguing and inspiring to listen to. I can't wait to try TM!
