About this listen

 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.

Praise for Bob Roth and Strength in Stillness:
'A masterclass. I love meditation, and I love this book.' ARIANNA HUFFINGTON

'Bob Roth taught me to meditate. This book will guide you to peace.' RUSSELL BRAND

'Bob Roth's Strength in Stillness is so needed right now. It will enhance our lives.' STELLA MCCARTNEY

'I am one-thousand per cent better when I do it. Meditation Bob: He's got it!' OPRAH WINFREY

'It is the only time I have that stillness. I just love it so much.' ELLEN DEGENERES

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

A really inspiring listen, skilfully blending research evidence and personal stories. Listening to this book has complemented the ‘real world’ TM course I am about to complete. I like Dr Roth’s narration as he reads his own work, so am glad I chose the audio version over the written word.

Great companion to learning TM

Not a bad read, but I was eager to learn more about the practice itself and this was very much a “why you should pay for a course.”

Hi on sales pitch, low on substance

A good history narrated by the author on TM and how it has changed his life and others, implementing it in schools and prisons from the 70's. The most interesting part was the research of its effectiveness on people in these institutions and the improvements established.

This is my first audio book.
I’m disappointed in this book as I thought Bob was going to take me through TM with his guidance. I know people do this differently but as an expert it would be great for him to lead a session so I could learn.

A bit disappointed

I really enjoyed narration. Short enough book. Really nice anecdotes. My only fault is that it’s very aimed at someone who is considering learning TM. I would have loved more info on history and experience of TM. Nonetheless enjoyable and informative read.

Great anecdotes and science

What did you like most about Strength in Stillness?

The book discusses the use of meditation in today's frenetic world to relieve the effects of stress. Its main focus is on TM, Transcendental Meditation. However, it does not teach the practice, which needs to be learnt from a teacher.

What other book might you compare Strength in Stillness to, and why?

There are numerous other books on meditation. This is succinct and is without philosophy.

Which character – as performed by Bob Roth – was your favourite?

This is not a fictional book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The testimonies of folk who have benefitted from the technique.

A superb outline of the benefits of meditation
