This is a great easy read introduction to transcendental meditation. I think that anyone would beable to understand this book. I've been interested in transcendental meditation, but could never find it so easily explained until I read this book.

This book was not at all what I expected. It read like a sales brochure, complete with celebrity name-dropping and cheesy endorsements throughout, a lot of repeating the same information over and over again, and a long personal biography of the author and his various works. And the kicker is, Roth doesn't even tell the reader HOW to meditate! We get the instructions of twice per day, sitting anywhere, and you'll focus on a mantra, but the rest is SECRET and you have to find a TM teacher to learn it - no doubt so we can all drop some $$$ just like our favorite celebrities, so TM teachers like Roth can take more famous-person-begging-for-help phone calls during halftime at another "Knicks game at Madison Square Garden." Barf. This book is a huge waste of time.
