In Transcendence: Healing and Transformation through Transcendental Meditation, world renowned psychiatrist Dr. Norman E. Rosenthal, M.D. shows how one can transform one’s life through the daily practice of meditation. Distinguishing Transcendental Meditation (TM) from other forms of meditation, Dr. Rosenthal explains how the automatic self-transcending that practicing such an art enables you to achieve, by effortlessly repeating your very own secret mantra, can take you into a state of heightened consciousness that will enable you to reach your full potential as a creative human being.
Having worked through 340 peer-reviewed published articles on TM, and having maintained a private practice in Washington, D.C., for over three decades, Dr. Rosenthal, who pioneered the study of seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is in a perfect position to provide professional insight into a form of meditation that has been widely used by a host of celebrities, including the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Mick Jagger and Donovan, to enhance their creativity and to gain greater personal control over their own lives. Transcendence explores several case studies of people who have had their lives transformed by setting aside some time each day to embark on a journey of self-discovery and heightened well-being. According to Dr. Rosenthal, no matter what difficulties you have in life, through TM instruction you will be able to access your own mental and spiritual resources of which you might previously not even have been aware.
The style in which the book is written should be easily accessible to all. Despite Dr. Rosenthal’s erudition, he has a way of writing that brings even the most esoteric subject within the grasp of the average person, no matter their age. His empathy and clearness of thinking are conveyed in prose that is fluent and coherent throughout. His depth of knowledge and understanding of his subject are revealed in a way that clearly shows his honesty and integrity. He clearly shows that, no matter your background, TM is for you.
Dr. Rosenthal’s advocacy of TM in Transcendence: Healing and Transformation through Transcendental Meditation is heartfelt and sincere. As he himself says, “I am so happy that so many people who are already meditators say there are some things in this book that really are explained in a new way, or you have given me a new way to see certain things.”
From no matter which perspective you come, whether as a proponent or opponent of TM, you would be well advised to lay your hands on a copy of this text. No matter which way you decide, you are likely to be able to argue your side of the ongoing debate about TM much more soundly when coming from a base informed by Dr. Rosenthal’s work.
