Rating: - Isight with Some Advertising
This is a very nice release for fans of David Lynch. It is like previous interviews he's done on DVD's (for example from Inland Empire) except expanded on, and more well thought out. He does advertise transcendental meditation, but this is not surprising to anybody who knows something about Lynch. It is not over-the-top, and it seems to fit with his description of his creative process. I have one reservation and that is his conflation of Grand Unified Field Theory with spirituality. This is not correct. ... Read More
Rating: - interestive perspective
i really enjoyed this book. As both a fan of David Lynch's work and someone who is interested in meditation I foudn the book quite an interesting read.
If you are a creative person, go ahead and buy it, you wont be disappointed.
Rating:  - DEAR MR. Lynch, thank you, A Devoted Admirer
Mr. Lynch gives us examples of how Transcedental Meditation has inspired him, how he found solutions for the challenges he faced while working, how meditating became his second nature, an absolute necessity, a given in his everyday life, an invaluable treasure.

I really wish I could find ... Read More
Rating:  - Don't buy this book to learn TM
Don't buy this book if you are trying to learn TM.
This book is about how David Lynch came up with the ideas for his movies and TV shows. In the book, he also explains how he got into the movie business in the first place. This part was very interesting to me as he explains that his first career choice was that of an artist/painter.
Regarding TM, he says that he became interested in TM because his sister was doing it. So to learn TM, he went to a school and took lessons. From ... Read More
Rating: - Charming, if scattered
This book is a strange mix of super-short essays on life, art, film and transcendental meditation. It doesn't deliver tons of depth on any of those topics, and if you're a big Lynch fan, you've probably read many of the anecdotes before, but Lynch's quirkiness and folksy charm is always welcome. He pushes the transcendental meditation pretty hard, but it's obviously a big part of his life and very important to his creative proces. I'm a big David Lynch fan, so I enjoyed this book, though I'm not sure I got much ... Read More
