His previous book about meditation, "Transcendence," was pretty darn good, though as a long-time meditator I found “Transcendence" more suitable as an introduction -- a wonderful gift for people first getting acquainted with meditation (or TM) and the research behind it.Super Mind goes much further, and deeper into the experience of TM and the growth that results outside of meditation over time through regular, twice-daily practice. It's a good sign of the times that a scientist and researcher of Rosenthal's caliber (he's a former 20-year senior researcher at the NIH) is seriously addressing "higher states of consciousness" and possibilities for human development beyond waking, dreaming and sleeping.While neuroscientists and philosophers currently grapple with such basic questions as, Does consciousness really exist? Is consciousness merely the physical activity of the brain? and so on, Dr. Rosenthal has opened the gateway to the future of consciousness research by introducing meditation into the equation. The usual limiting assumptions about consciousness, confined to the contentious (and, so far, unproductive) arena of epiphenomenalism, are left in the dust as Rosenthal unassailably identifies consciousness as an independent “thing in itself.”The natural state of “pure consciousness”—consciousness in its simplest state—is experienced directly in meditation when the mind “transcends” all surface activity and is left awake to itself, experiencing its essential nature. Rosenthal notes that this “fourth” state of consciousness (it’s not waking, dreaming or sleep), a state of restful alertness, has its own corresponding neurophysiological markers well described through hundreds of scientific studies. He also cites the many research studies showing beneficial effects from experiencing the fourth state of consciousness regularly through TM practice.In Super MInd, Rosenthal tells the story of prescribing TM to patients, and of practicing it himself, and noticing that something happens beyond relaxation, stress reduction and alleviation of stress-related ailments: a positive change in outlook, a sense of greater well-being, a growth of resilience, an improvement in mental faculties such as memory, ability to focus and problem solving. This higher mental performance he calls Super Mind, because it is clearly beyond the norm—indicated not only by subjective reports but by standard measures in psychology and changes in brain functioning.Perhaps Rosenthal's primary contribution has been to gather data on the subjective experiences of hundreds of meditators, allowing him to classify the experiences and identify the heighten state of awareness and elevated well-being that TM practitioners report.There have been many records throughout history of peak experiences and higher states of awareness. Rosenthal elucidates the relevancy of these “awakenings” in the context of modern science and psychiatry, but mostly in the context of being human.It may be due to the lack of functioning at "Super Mind" level that the world is so beset with problems and sufferings, most of which are manmade. If there is a vast creative potential to the mind that any human being can unfold through the "requisite stimulus,” then what greater gift to humanity than shedding light on the process of how this higher stage of evolution unfolds. In this sense, Super Mind may be the most important book that we’ve seen in a long while. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Strong book on the benefits of TM *by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2017* Although this book centers on TM rather than (any) form of meditation, it might serve as a good reference for the latter too. I first heard about this book through David Lynch, and there are a couple of quotes from him in the book as well. The book mainly focuses on the benefits from TM practice as well as explicating things such as "transcendence" and the Super Mind. I found the book to be a fascinating and informative source on meditation in general even though the focus is on TM. It's one that would do well with others and in addition to other books on meditation. Much like meditation itself, Super Mind is a win win scenario and a must for anyone interested in meditation, especially TM. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars really inspiring *by B***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2023* This helps to strengthen the why behind my practice.
