I thoroughly enjoyed this fun, educational, and uplifting book from cover to cover. Individuals, businesses, and schools have much to learn from these real-life pioneers and business warriors.

Elsewhere, authors share how they did this thing, and now everything is rosy. In your book, I got to follow actual ups and downs.

Nancy West, Aspiring Entrepreneur

Hal Goldstein has transformed his powerful, popular business school course, “The Successful Entrepreneur” into a must-read book for aspiring entrepreneurs. The reader can’t help but assimilate that inner peace and outer abundance go hand-in-hand, and that anything is possible when starting with the stillness experienced from the daily practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique.

What unbelievable inspiring stories.

About this site and book

0003This site and book tell stories of men and women who moved to Fairfield, Iowa home of Maharishi University of Management (MUM) to practice Transcendental Meditation as part of an ongoing world peace project. To stay in Fairfield, many, with little experience or know-how, began and ran successful businesses.

On a part time basis, one of those entrepreneurs, Hal Goldstein, created this website and from this website the book, The Meditating Entrepreneurs – Creating Success from the Stillness Within.  All proceeds from the book will be donated to MUM. If you would like to help on the website or book, read this and contact Hal.
