An interesting review in Library Journal:
05/15/2014
Weber (Businessweek) has written a scattered but fascinating and balanced account of the community in Fairfield, IA, that grew up around the presence and charisma of the famed and controversial Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1918–2008). He follows the story of this unusual group as it rises, and, in the wake of its founder's death, slowly declines despite the members' efforts to keep a university going and run for public office. Weber looks frankly at both the joy Transcendental Meditation (TM) has brought to its members and the folly and debate that have surrounded it as well; he shrewdly compares its likely future to that of the nearby Amana community, a semiseparate group of utopian dreamers. VERDICT An honest look at the very mixed success of TM in the Midwest, this book should be of keen interest to academics and general readers alike.
