TM and Cult Mania

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

TM and Cult Mania is a book authored by Michael Persinger, Normand Carrey and Lynn Sues of the Neuroscience Laboratory.

According to the authors, most cults survive and thrive by using a specific set of social and psychological means, which the authors describe and investigate. The authors chose to use the Transcendental Meditation movement as a focal point for their expoloration of cults, because "This movement is an excellent example of cult processes."
