5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, hopeful and rigourous, July 12, 1998
By 
Birrell Walsh (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Maharishi Effect: A Revolution Through Meditation (Paperback)
I picked this book up in an attitude of utter skepticism. "TM can make a more peaceful society - hogwash!"

Then I read the whole book. It is well-written, well-argued, and based on what seems to be very good research. It looks like there may be some truth to this unbelievable claim - if enough people practice this form of meditation, social indicators improve. Less crime, less "noise" in the society, more coherence.

This is a genuinely hopeful book. I'm glad I read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars New and age old approach to world peace, November 14, 1997
This review is from: The Maharishi Effect: A Revolution Through Meditation (Paperback)
Elaine and Arthur Aron are sociologists, who have accompanied the scientific researches of the Maharishi Effect through the last 20 years. Maharishi Effect is called the phenomenon that a large number of the population (1% or more) practicing Transcendental Meditation can reduce negative tendencies like crime in society. The fascinating synthesis of this book is a perspective of world peace on the solid ground of scientific research. Strongly recommended for all who love life and peace.
