Crunching the Facebook Numbers: How Many Meditators Are There?
Excerpt:
Through use of an advertising targeting tool on Facebook, it's
possible to measure the popularity of a number of topics related to
Transcendental Meditation across age groups, and thus extrapolate
from that sampling of Facebook users to the general population.
This method suggests that only about 60,000 people in the United
States have any current interest in these topics, which is a tiny
fraction of the "one million meditators" that the TM movement
claims currently live in the United States.
Well that just means there's 940,000 in recovery...
