You have to wonder....,
By Jake Parks (St. Louis, MO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Science of Being and Art of Living: Transcendental Meditation (Paperback)
You have to wonder why the secret to life's happiness costs somewhere between $1000 and $300, don't you? Where does all the money go, anyway? Building a society on the foundation of peace, harmony, and unity shouldn't start with the participants shelling out a small fortune to begin. I meditate and I've found that there are great similarities between zen, samatha (jhana), and transcendental meditation. Meditation is meditation...the underlying principle is always the same, but if you go to a Zen or Vipassana meditation center the cost is FREE and you are asked only for a donation. I've been an avid reader of Buddhist philosophy and meditation for years and upon coming upon this book and the TM philosophy and method I was VERY impressed! But any institution that exchanges salvation and enlightenment for money should be questioned. Buy the book, but you won't get any methods or practical advise without spending $300 or $1000.

Misleading Title, Praises to Maharishi,
By A Customer
This review is from: Science of Being and Art of Living: Transcendental Meditation (Paperback)
Its takes a while to get past the front of the book which offers praises of Maharishi, his history and plans to transform the world. Once you get past that (which appears again in the rear of the book) you realize this book does not teach you TM (so why is it in the title?).There are some helpful things in this book especially if you are new to the spiritual path. But if you are looking for a serious book on meditation in general look elsewhere. This is more on the 'so how are you doing now after learning TM' side.

Knowledge and experience is realization of the Supreme,
By Alexandr Ruzicka (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Science of Being and Art of Living: Transcendental Meditation (Paperback)
Already when I first bought this book it was clear to me that I will not be able to actually learn the technique from it because for this a direct teacher is necessary (if true knowledge would be in the books, the teacher profession would have died out long time ago). But the knowledge contained in Maharishi's book was so practical and appealing that it automatically led me to want to experience my own Being. And, so far, the vision of possibilities that Maharishi gives has been validated by my practice as well as by scientific research.With best wishes, Alexandr Ruzicka
