You are so gullible, Michael. You keep falling for Barry's deceitful crap. His "statistic" is a total non sequitur. The only reason he mentions it is to distract attention from his nitwit notion that Sem's book would "begin a new round of publicity exposing the Maharishi Effect."
That Collected Papers volume was published in 1976, two decades pre-Amazon. Even if it had been a smash-hit bestseller when it came out (it wasn't), its sales in 2014 would be virtually nonexistent. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mjackson74@...> wrote : ha! That's a great statistic Barry! -------------------------------------------- He [ Barry, the messenger Judy wants desperately to shoot any way she can ] seems to have failed to notice that the PR blurb Michael posted is dated February 2013, more than a year ago. The book itself was published (self-published via Amazon's CreateSpace) in September 2012. And its current Amazon bestseller rank is #2,222,248. Indeed I did fail to notice that. As for its popularity, I merely point out that it's doing much better on Amazon than "Scientific Research on the Transcendental Meditation Program: Collected Papers, Vol. 1," which has a ranking of #3,414,634, even though it's now available used for around $6, considerably discounted from its original price of $78.28. :-) :-) :-)
