monkeelino 's review for:
David Lynch is one of those directors who has popped up during various stages of my life without me even seeking him out, nor necessarily knowing he was there. I was probably 6 or 8 yrs old when I saw The Elephant Man on HBO. I've always been drawn to the kind of skewed realities he creates with his films. So when I happened to pass this book on the library shelves, it seemed like serendipity. This is a small book consisting of succinct anecdotes, ruminations, memories, and meditations. Some pages have only a sentence or paragraph. Others stretch to two pages. Lynch's creative and daily foundation is transcendental meditation and he returns to this throughout--inner peace and knowledge of self being essential for being open to big ideas (regardless of field or profession). It seems like those who rated this lower were expecting something more along the lines of a guidebook or how-to volume, or, at least, something more focussed on film. It is definitely none of those things. It's unstructured and haphazard and full of positive, inspiring, Lynchian energy (plus a few very practical tips).
