Description:
Current events these days are fraught with political animosity, global pandemic, warfare, gun violence, and economic insecurity. The troubling times that we live in leave us uncertain where we stand and in what direction we are going.
It is with good reason that anxiety levels have peaked and the affliction has extended to almost every segment of society--whether we like to admit it or not. We may not be able to change the world, but this book by James G. Meade, PhD, shows us how we can help ourselves.
The problem is real, so what can we do about it? In End Anxiety!, James Meade offers an instant and lasting solution--the Transcendental Meditation(R) program, as taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
This may at first seem like a novel approach to the issue, but studies of the effects of Transcendental Meditation(R) on the mental states of its practitioners have been ongoing for over fifty years, and the findings are conclusive: Transcendental Meditation can have a real and powerful positive impact on our mental health, especially in terms of mitigating anxiety, stress, and depression.
Brief description:
James Meade is an established voice in the consciousness world. His The Answer to Cancer, written with Ayurvedic experts Hari Sharma and Rama Kant Mishra, brought the secrets of a preventive approach to health into the world by helping us think in terms of averting sickness. A little controversial and a bit daring, Meade was a pioneer in the breakthrough "For Dummies" books, caused occasional consternation with his columns on computer technology and Human Resources, and is the author of more than two dozen books and hundreds of articles.
