  • TM and Cult Mania es un libro escrito por Michael Persinger, Normand Carrey y Lynn Suess, publicado en 1980 por Christopher Publishing House.​ Analiza las afirmaciones del movimiento de meditación trascendental desde una perspectiva científica; reconoce que quienes la practican experimentan relajación e incremento en la creatividad. Según el libro, los efectos psicológicos reportados en los estudios científicos que han abordado las técnicas son relativamente pequeños y «no más efectivos que muchas otras técnicas de meditación».​ Los autores han planteado que la «meditación trascendental logró reconocimiento internacional gracias a la explotación comercial» y «pobres procedimientos científicos»,​ además de que «son banales los efectos reportados de la [técnica] en el comportamiento humano. Considerando la presunta potencia del método, los cambios en las mediciones psicológicas y del comportamiento son notablemente insignificantes».​ TM and Cult Mania concluye que «el movimiento de meditación trascendental ha utilizado a la ciencia como una farsa para la propaganda».​ Phil Freshman para el Los Angeles Times afirmó sobre la obra: «Utilizando una lógica sólida y un humor chispeante, un trío de investigadores canadienses desinfla contundentemente la meditación trascendental; destacan las transparencias de sus afirmaciones y advierten sobre los peligros latentes para quienes tienen problemas de salud mental».​ Por su parte, John Horgan en su libro Rational Mysticism señala que, aunque Persinger se dice neutral hacia las creencias religiosas, en realidad es más parcial que otros neuroteólogos y que sus dos libros «arrojan las creencias religiosas y prácticas espirituales bajo una luz psicopatológica».​ (es)

  • TM and Cult Mania is a non-fiction book that examines assertions made by the Transcendental Meditation movement (TM). The book is authored by Michael Persinger, Normand Carrey and Lynn Suess and published in 1980 by Christopher Publishing House. Persinger is a neurophysiologist and has worked out of Laurentian University. He trained as a psychologist and focused on the impacts of religious experience. Carrey is a medical doctor who specialized in psychiatry. He focused his studies into child psychiatry with research at Dalhousie University, and has taught physicians in a psychiatry residency program in the field of family therapy. Suess assisted Persinger in researching effects of geological phenomena on unidentified flying object sightings in Washington; the two conducted similar research in Toronto and Ottawa. TM and Cult Mania analyzes the efficacy or lack thereof of the TM meditation process, concluding that it is, "no more effective than many other meditation techniques". The authors write that, "Transcendental Meditation has achieved international recognition through commercial exploitation" and "poor scientific procedures". The book notes that physiological changes observed due to partaking in TM methodology are very small. Persinger, Carrey, and Suess conclude in TM and Cult Mania, "science has been used as a sham for propaganda by the TM movement." A positive capsule review in the Los Angeles Times noted that the authors use logic to point out transparencies in the assertions of Transcendental Meditation. John Horgan, in his book Rational Mysticism, questions Persinger's neutrality and says that in his book he treats religious beliefs and spiritual practices as mental illness. (en)
