Learning Transcendental Meditation
On January 22, Nouriel Roubini posted a photo of himself and the famous Tibetan monk Matthieu Ricard having a chat at a coffee table at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Roubini tweeted:
Taking up the practice as an academic and a successful economic consultant, Roubini is of course not the first in line. Read about other bright businesspeople who practice Transcendental Meditation, or check out this scientific research on the effect of TM on cognitive abilities.
Seems like Nourini’s powers of prediction — being based on logic and rational calculations — will only be enhanced by the addition of TM to his daily routine!
