Super Mind, a new book by psychiatrist Norman Rosenthal that will go on sale May 17 and is currently available for preorder, describes the Transcendental Meditation technique as a path to higher states of consciousness and how this development of the mind helps people be happier and more effective, creative, intuitive, and successful.
Dr. Rosenthal will be on campus in late May to talk about his book. Appearing with him will be renowned physicist Dr. John Hagelin. Watch for further details.
In Super Mind, Dr. Rosenthal describes the stages of the growth of consciousness and the down-to-earth benefits or "gifts" one experiences as one continues the practice of Transcendental Meditation.
"Just as money invested grows exponentially thanks to compound interest, so the super mind grows over time, yielding its gifts incrementally with continued Transcendental Meditation practice," he says.
Dr. Rosenthal tells many anecdotes, including about his patients, who have realized more of their potential through the Transcendental Meditation technique.
He also interviews high performers such as actress Cameron Diaz, hedge fund founder Ray Dalio, actor Hugh Jackman, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, baseball pitcher Barry Zito, actress Lena Dunham, and Megan Fairchild, principal dancer for the New York City ballet.
Subtitled How to Boost Performance and Live a Richer, Happier Life Through Transcendental Meditation, the book discusses what consciousness is and how it has been defined by various cultures and by science.
It also presents the scientific evidence for the existence of higher states of consciousness and discusses the differences between the Transcendental Meditation technique and mindfulness.
Dr. Rosenthal is a clinical professor of psychiatry at Georgetown Medical School. He conducted research at the National Institute of Mental Health as a research fellow, researcher, and senior researcher for more than 20 years and was the first psychiatrist to describe and diagnose Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Super Mind includes the results of a survey of over 600 people practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique.
The responses clustered around three areas of benefits:
1) internal growth — improved well-being, greater resilience, more engagement, more contentment with one's life;
2) being in the zone — going more with the flow, finding it easier to get things done, greater productivity and creativity; and
3) support of nature — feelings of being luckier and things going more your way, improved relationships and finances.
Super Mind is available for preorder on Amazon. It's also available via at Norman Rosenthal's website.
Anyone who purchases a book on that site during the preorder period (through May 17) will receive five free gifts, including conversations between Dr. Rosenthal and actor Hugh Jackman, Tony Award-winner Katie Finneran, dancer Meghan Fairchild, classical guitarist Sharon Isbin, and pitcher Barry Zito.
