Format:Paperback
First time in 1973 I read this book through in 2 days. I just started with Transcendental Meditation (TM) and was fascinated by the easy answers to questions belonging to the whole life. Meanwhile I still pracitce TM and when I read different sections now, I find the the same ageless truth as in 1973. But now I have the experience, that you really can change your life fundamentally. This book is not only theoretical but also very practical.

When I first read the book, I was amazed at how straight forward it was. Very clear - no nonsense - interesting - and in places exceptionally humerous. A very enjoyable read. It still seems years ahead of its time (The book was published in 1963, I bought my copy in 2001, and I'm writing this review in 2005). It has four sections - I science of being; II life III Art of Living IV Fulfillment and my 2001 edition has 9 very interesting Appendixes. In the book, Maharishi explains what his TM (Transcendental Meditation) technique is, how and why it works, what the effects are As far as book on Maharishi' TM goes - you can't go much better than a book by the original 1950's TM Teacher himself - Maharishi!!!

An interesting good read and on sale at a good price too. It wont tell you how to actually meditate though. At one time the TM organisation used to charge really modest fees, now they are sky high at £1200 in the UK. I have heard they have dropped the price recently. Unless the price is down to about £75, it is still sky high.
This book dates from the early days of the TM organisation, before it started getting bad publicity for e.g. claiming to be able to teach people to levitate! " Yogic Flying" as they called it at the time. They charged sky high fees for this too. No wonder the organisation is wealthy.
How to meditate, using a very similar technique, is shown in the book " The Relaxation response" by Herbert Benson. Dr Benson's meditation technique is based on the style of meditation taught by the T.M. organisation.
If you want to learn this technique get Benson's book for a bargain price on Amazon.
I feel the book, science of living, although informative, is a sort of sales tract for the TM technique. Get the book for the info. in it but dont pay the high fees they want you pay to learn TM.
