The Big Fish

Very interesting I got the CD so book on tape worked he has a funny little soothing voice but good solid advice on meditation,and life in general...

Catching The Creator State

David has been a longtime inspiration for me, so the creative thoughts and advice in this delicious snack of a book were welcome words. The fact that myself and many other artists are writing about the same subject is proof positive that the deep well of the Unified Field is experiencing some coalescence. My novels about "art changing reality" will soon have to move to the nonfiction section if David's consciousness-based education is well-received around the globe. How wonderful it will be when these students can reach The Creator State and truly change our world into a more positive place to exist.

Thank you David!

Insightful yet cultish

This work by DAVID LYNCH is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in his art. I have been a Lynch fan for many years and always looked up to him as a filmaker, so when this book came out promising the secrets of David's creative process, I had to have it.
The book doesn't disappoint there, David explains every angle of his creative thinking, and relays many insightful and uplifting stories from his life. The wisdom held here pertains to life not just to art.
Through it all Mr. Lynch points to one thing, one recommendation, that he claims has given him the source of his remarkable wellness: TM. For those unfamiliar TM (Transcendental Meditation) is a technique for reaching higher consciousnesses taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. ([...]) His devotion to this group is certainly cultish in nature.
I recently went to the introductory TM lecture (to see what lynch was talking about). In a nutshell the TM movement is a cult that uses a scientifically substantiated meditation with a placebo to extract money from the participants. The moment they told me I had to pay 2500 dollars to gain access to a one hour training I was out and looking for answers.
If you want to know exactly what Lynch is talking about with meditation, either get a scholarship from the Lynch foundation or visit one of these groups: [...]
This is a great read, uplifting and lots of fun. I highly recommend for any Lynch fan, or anyone interested in the effects of conscious consciousness control. Just be wary of the TM people, they have something great to offer at an insane price.

Captivating and Compelling, Informative and Revealing

This audio book will not save your life, will not turn your life around, will not make you do anything you aren't already doing in your life.
This audio book will give you a glimpse into one man's creative process and his personal feelings on his successes and failures, what he does to rest easy at night, and advice on how to better manage the difficult challenge of being creative amidst the stress of life.
It's all hogwash unless you implement his advice into your own life. If you do this, he says your life will become clear and free, pure and unrestricted.
I believe him. We all need time for ourselves, time to meditate, to shed what happens. This is the main point here. If you cannot put forth the effort to relax, you'll get nowhere but the same spot on which you already stand.

In this rare work of public disclosure, filmmaker David Lynch describes his personal methods of capturing and working with ideas, and the immense creative benefits he has experienced from the practice of meditation Over the last four decades, David Lynch has created some of the best-known and widely discussed screen works of our time. This distinctive writer-director's art bears not only the mark of box-office success but also criticalacclaim and cultural posterity. Yet Lynch generally reveals little of himself, or the ideas behind his work. Now he provides a rare window into his methods as an artist and his personal working style. In Catching the Big Fish, Lynch writes candidly about the tremendous creative benefits he has gained from his thirty-two-year commitment to practicing Transcendental Meditation. In brief chapters, Lynch describes the experience of "diving within" and "catching" ideas like fish-and then preparing them for television or movie screens, and other mediums in which Lynch works, such as photography and painting. In the book's first section, Lynch discusses the development of his ideas-where they come from, how he grasps them, and which ones appeal to him the most. He then shares his passion for "the doing"-whether moviemaking, painting, or other creative expressions. Lynch talks specifically about how he puts his thoughts into action and how he engages with others around him. Finally, he discusses the self and the surrounding world -and how the process of "diving within" that has so deeply affected his own work can directly benefit others. Catching the Big Fish provides unprecedented insight into Lynch's methods, as it also offers a set of practical ideas that speak to matters of personal fulfillment, increased creativity, and greater harmony with one's surroundings. The book comes as a revelation to the legion of fans who have longed to better understand Lynch's deeply personal vision. And it is equally intriguing to anyone who grapples with questions such as: "Where do ideas come from?" and "How can I nurture creativity?
