Many companies around the world are turning to Transcendental Meditation to improve the calibre of executives and staff. Employees who are more creative, more intelligent, healthier and more energetic naturally contribute more to a company. Productivity increases, absenteeism decreases and teamwork improves.

Transcendental Meditation has become part of the stress-management arsenal for hundreds of companies throughout the world. The effects of stress in the workplace can be devastating - both physically and financially - for both employees and the company. Studies have shown that TM is more than twice as effective at reducing stress than any other form of relaxation.

WHAT BUSINESSMEN SAY ABOUT TM...

Pat O' Reilly "For 15 year's, I was Chief Executive of an International software company. The pressure to deliver results was unrelenting. TM helped me to focus on what was important, both from a business and a personal point of view. It also helped me to handle the stresses of daily life."

Pat O Reilly, is now MD of "ceili.ie", an internet e-busines promoting and selling traditional irish culture.

"Transcendental Meditation gives much needed peace of mind, helps professionally by increasing concentration levels and finally, gives the bottom line satisfaction at the end of a long workday. The practical day-to-day benefits include more alertness, increased levels of tolerance, patience, and understanding."

Anant Dehadrai India Director, Sumitomo Heavy Industries

"I have practised Transcendental Meditation since 1974, and now more than 100 co-workers at Ericsson apply this technique. I find it much easier to implement new ideas, as I have the drive to formulate and propagate them in a constructive way. It's also easier to take and accept new things and resolve conflicts between old and new. There is also more direct communication in the organisation."

Eva Salomonsson Director of Technique and Quality Department, Ericsson, Sweden

"The key to success in today's world is innovation, creativity -- beyond anything else. If you create products and services that are clearly better than what your competitors produce, you're going to succeed in today's world. Having the ability to enhance one's own creativity as well as that of one's employees seems to me to be the ultimate responsibility of a manager within a company. And the Transcendental Meditation program allows that creativity enhancement to take place beyond anything I've ever seen."

Burton A. Dole, Jr. Former Chairman and CEO, Puritan-Bennett Corp. Leading manufacturer of respiratory products.

"For me the experience of settled inner wakefulness and expanded awareness during the Transcendental Meditation technique is the real foundation for successful decision making. After meditating I have the mental clarity and alertness for laser-like focus on the details and, at the same time, for broad comprehension so I don't get lost in the details. I find myself continuously growing in insight and intuition, as well as in the ability to focus and analyse. Over my years in business, the TM technique has been a real competitive advantage."

Steve Rubin Chairman and CEO, United Fuels International, Inc. International energy brokerage firm.
