Meditation is a powerful tool to center oneself. Many people practice it through the help of gurus and groups to alleviate stress and anxiety as well as depression and other emotional distress. Batali swears by Transcendental Meditation (TM) as a method to keep him grounded. He actually discovered the practice at the suggestion of friend and comedian Jerry Seinfeld. “After about a month of doing TM… it allowed me to more carefully or more slowly react to something that was offending me, bothering me,” he told ABC News. Despite his meditative practices, one of his accusers even called him a “monster”.
