Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a simple, natural method of allowing the mind to go beyond thoughts and gain access to the silent inner field of creativity, energy, peace and happiness that is our own essential nature, our Self.
Jack Forem met Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and learned Transcendental Meditation in late 1966. After studying with Maharishi in India in 1970, Forem served as head of the TM center in New York and on Maharishi’s International Staff; taught training courses for TM teachers in Europe; led conferences and seminars on the development of creativity, leadership, and higher states of consciousness; and wrote a best-selling book on Maharishi and TM.
“In the ongoing transmission of India’s practical wisdom to the
West, nothing has had a bigger impact than Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
and his Transcendental Meditation. This engaging and comprehensive
update of Jack Forem’s seminal book is well timed, as the knowledge
it contains is vital in our stressed-out, plugged-in era.”
— Philip Goldberg, author of American Veda: From Emerson and the
Beatles to Yoga and Meditation ,How Indian Spirituality Changed the
West
“Jack Forem’s groundbreaking book, Transcendental Meditation,
inspired thousands of people, including myself, to learn meditation
and investigate the scientific basis behind its effectiveness. In
this new edition, he brilliantly distills all the latest
advancements and hundreds of scientific papers published in leading
academic and medical journals. As Maharishi himself said about the
original edition, this book ‘offers a clear, comprehensive, and
thoughtful presentation of the essence of our teaching,’ and that
is certainly true of this new edition as well. I strongly encourage
everyone to read this book and to take full advantage of the
programs it describes. It is an invaluable resource for all who
desire a bright future for themselves and for our world.”

Union of Scientists for Peace Featured in What the Bleep Do We
Know!? and The Secret
“A comprehensive, reader-friendly study of the teachings of a great
modern master. Jack Forem’s book isn’t just about the TM technique
and its massive body of scientific research, but it reveals
practical and enlightened approaches to the fields of education,
health care, personal relationships, psychology, religion, and
business, and a novel and powerful strategy for achieving world
peace. Informative and inspiring!”

“As a rabbi and longtime practitioner of the TM program, I
particularly appreciate the new chapter on Religion and
Spirituality in Jack Forem’s book. Jack quotes Maharishi Mahesh
Yogi’s teaching that religions have ‘one common ground: that the
light of God is kindled in each heart.’ This is what TM
accomplished for me in my life. I never would have desired to
become, nor would I have been able to succeed as a rabbi,without
the spiritual awareness that the practice of TM awakened in
me.”
— Alan Green, Senior Rabbi, Shaarey Zedek Synagogue, Winnipeg,
Canada
“Many books have been written about the Transcendental Meditation
technique and the array of benefits enjoyed by those who practice
it. Jack Forem’s book stands out not only because it is eminently
readable and entertaining, but because it is such a clear and
comprehensive introduction to TM, the principles behind it, and the
research demonstrating its effectiveness. It’s a joy to read and a
breath of fresh air.
“In addition to delineating the value of TM for individuals, Forem
explains cutting-edge, paradigm-shifting research showing that
groups of people practicing TM together have significantly reduced
tension and hostility in the environment. He argues persuasively
that in TM, we have a technique to benefit the individual and at
the same time generate harmony and reduce stress in society as a
whole. This is a book to read and take to heart.”
— Gary P. Kaplan M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Neurology,
Hofstra University School of Medicine
“Jack Forem’s new book on Transcendental Meditation offers a wealth
of research with real-world examples of how TM can increase
personal and corporate success and effectiveness. This book offers
numerous examples of how this simple technique has had a tremendous
effect on people from all walks of life. I know it has helped me,
my family, my company, and my clients.”
