Bob Roth in Conversation with Mary-Louise Parker: Transcendental Meditation

Everyone we know is stressed. No matter where we come from, or what we do, stress is an epidemic that threatens our mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health.

While there is no cure, there is a simple practice that dramatically changes how we respond to life’s challenges: the Transcendental Meditation technique. From improving sleep to sharpening memory and strengthening emotional bonds, this 5,000 year old technique has a clear impact on our 21st century problems. In Strength in Stillness, Roth breaks down the science behind meditation in a new, accessible way. He highlights the three distinct types of meditation — focused attention, open monitoring and self-transcending — and showcases the evidence that Transcendental Meditation is the most effective way to reduce stress, access inner power and build resilience.
