Summary of Bob Roth's Strength in Stillness

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Transcendental Meditation is a technique that you learn and then practice on your own. It is simple, natural, and effortless. It is not a religion, a philosophy, or a change in lifestyle. And finally, there is nothing to believe in. #2 The natural tendency of the mind is not to wander without direction but to seek something more satisfying, more charming, and greater knowledge. In other words, the mind is not a monkey that needs controlling. It is not wandering aimlessly because your mind is not wandering at all. #3 Transcendental Meditation uses a mantra to help the mind settle down and transcend into stillness. The mantra has no meaning associated with it, and according to ancient meditation texts, its effects are positive and life supporting. #4 The ease of learning was confirmed by a 2017 study that found that individuals practicing TM for just one month reported the same frequency of transcendent experiences as individuals practicing for five years.
