On February 6th at Joe's Pub in New York City, Lisa FOX and the David Lynch Foundation (DLF) will host a book launch party and meet-and-greet featuring longtime meditators Jerry Seinfeld, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness to celebrate the release of Bob Roth's new book Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation. Proceeds from the launch event and the sale of the book will go towards teaching women and children who are survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to meditate through the Manhattan Family Justice Center.
Transcendental Meditation (TM) is a simple, easily-learned mental technique, practiced for 20 minutes twice daily, which produces a unique state of "restful alertness." More than 370 studies have been published in peer-reviewed scientific journals documenting the effectiveness of TM for reducing stress and stress-related disorders while improving health, cognitive function and behavior. The National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense have provided nearly $30 million in grants to further study the benefits of TM for heart health and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Bob has taught thousands of people to meditate over the past 45 years, including Hugh Jackman, Oprah Winfrey, Ray Dalio, Michael J. Fox, Tom Hanks, Katy Perry, Russell Brand, Stella McCartney, and others.
This launch party celebrating the release of Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation by Bob Roth. Proceeds from the launch event will be used to teach women and children who are survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to meditate through the Manhattan Family Justice Center, and 100% of proceeds from the book will go towards teaching veterans, inner city school children and victims of abuse transcendental meditation for free.
