Author: Brett Kaufman February 10, 2025 Duration: 58:00

In this re-released episode in tribute to the great David Lynch, Brett Kaufman welcomes Bob Roth, one of the most experienced meditation teachers in the US and author of the New York Times bestseller “Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation.” With nearly 50 years of experience, Bob has introduced thousands to the practice of Transcendental Meditation. As the CEO of the David Lynch Foundation, he has championed the cause of teaching meditation to over a million at-risk individuals across 35 countries. Bob shares his transformative journey, from witnessing Robert Kennedy's impactful speech and aspiring to be a Senator to his life-altering introduction to TM at the University of California, Berkeley. He delves into his early life, his father's wartime trauma, and the family's move to Marin County. Bob underscores the universality of trauma and the profound role of TM in calming the brain's amygdala, fostering resilience, and promoting overall well-being.
