While the marketing of TM may targe

While the marketing of TM may target the same part of our brains that diet pills and late-night infomercials do, it’s possible the similarities end there. Those products are designed to take your money once and promptly become a cartoon dust cloud before you can figure out what happened. Scams mostly don’t have lifelong devotees; fat-burning pyramid schemes do not produce a following like TM can claim. That doesn’t change the fact that the data is largely a vast wasteland of biased data and meaningless jargon. Researchers are moving it in a more helpful direction, but for now, it’s still a mess.
