Klipper. Originally published in 1975, the book grew out of Benson's observations as a cardiologist and his research as a fellow at Harvard Medical School. Benson's study of practitioners of Transcendental Meditation documented a drop in heart rate, metabolic rate, and breathing rate--what Benson termed "the relaxation response." His book gave simple instructions for integrating meditation techniques into daily life, with or without a religious focus. The book became a "New York Times" best seller, went on to sell over four million copies, and was translated into 13 languages. This article gives a representative selection of current titles and respected authors and highlights a few publishers specializing in meditation and relaxation resources. |
