 Bob Roth is one of the world's most sought-after teachers of Transcendental Meditation – a highly effective form of meditation that goes beyond mindfulness to produce a deeper and long-lasting sense of peace.

Every day we face a growing epidemic of stress. People of every race, age and income all make the same confession: 'I am so stressed'. There is a simple practice that dramatically changes how we respond to life's stresses: the Transcendental Meditation technique. With scientifically proven benefits, improved focus, sleep, resilience, creativity and memory, this method has a direct impact.

For nearly five decades, Bob Roth has helped bring Transcendental Meditation to millions of people around the world – in 35 countries across Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa. Once a sceptic, he learned the art from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the foremost scientist of consciousness and meditation.

As Co-Founder and Executive Director of the David Lynch Foundation, Bob teaches frequently at inner-city schools, veterans' hospitals, battered women's shelters, homeless shelters and prisons. Bob is also the go-to meditation teacher for leading figures in the worlds of media and business.

Beautifully presented, Strength in Stillness is a simple, classic guide to calming your mind and body.

Further praise for Strength in Stillness:

'Bob's really helped us and our son, who was a stressed, anxious kid' HUGH JACKMAN

'I can't say enough about Bob Roth and TM. Stillness, true stillness, of both mind and body, is a gift.' MICHAEL J. FOX

'Transcendental Meditation is the single most important reason for any success I have had in my life. Strength in Stillness masterfully distills the essence of this technique.' RAY DALIO

What disappointed you about Strength in Stillness?

"... one of the world's most sought-after teachers of transcendental meditation", and yet he makes no attempt to teach transcendental meditation in this book. He merely tells you that transcendental meditation is a worthwhile practice.

"Strength in Stillness is a simple, classic guide to calming your mind and body." No, it is definitively not a "guide". This is misleading and deceptive. This book is not a "guide" of any kind, not in calming your mind and body, and not in transcendental meditation. It is a simple sales pitch as to why you should see a teacher who will "guide" you in transcendental meditation.

The book itself is nothing other than wasted potential as it does not have the courage to even try to impart the teacher's knowledge and wisdom onto its readers, rather once it has interested readers with eager and open minds it turns them away and sends them to find what they are searching for elsewhere...

Gross Misrepresentation & Lack of Courage

Just a massive pitch, name dropping of celebrities with no actual contact on the subject matter of ‘strength in stillness’! Worst audio book I have ever downloaded.

Waste of time!

if you're looking for how to actually TM, this book is not for you. you keep thinking he'll teach you about it in each chapter, but he just brings it back to analogy and celebrity testimony. super bloody lame. this feels like a feature length advertisement. wish I could get my hours back :/

an extended sales pitch, no teaching at all

Purchased by mistake, listened to 15 minutes and found this book to be a total scam.
This bloke just wants to suck vulnerable people in and steal their money.
AVOID!!

Don’t waste your money
