Super quick and accessible philosophical guide to meditation, creativity and filmmaking. I was worried it woukf would be classic abstract David Lynch mumbo jumbo, but was charmingly straight shooting and down to earth.
More vibes than actual how-to’s, like getting advice from a dear uncle.

As this book profoundly shaped my father, it also profoundly shaped my childhood, though i did not know that until quite recently. Essentially a series of case studies from Lynch's life in support of transcendental meditation (or TM, as my father refers to it), it offers a wonderful walk through his professional career that is at once relevant to me and quite interesting. Sasha Colby is your favorite drag queen's favorite drag queen, Chappell Roan is your favorite artist's favorite artist, and David Lynch is your favorite director's favorite director.

Love is the greatest peace available in this world and we must always strive for it. Thank you, David Lynch
Nice quick little book that balances the practical and pragmatic with the abstract. Lynch discloses his view on a variety of subjects, including wood, light, consciousness, creativity, Transcendental Meditation and the many areas of film making.
He doesn't talk about the meditation in as much depth as I thought he would. He's primarily concerned with discussing the benefits of such a technique, but not so much showing you how to do it. I'd assume you'll have to find out about that on your own.
What I found interesting is his honest discussions behind the process of his movies. He seems to approach film creation a lot more emotionally than other directors and doesn't really concern him too much with "what it all means." If you've ever seen a David Lynch film, you know what I mean. Additionally, he doesn't believe in the idea of a director's commentary that waters down the message and feeling of the film. He'd rather that the supposed moral of the story is deduced by the viewer him/herself.
In other areas, he's more open. I was surprised that he fully embraces digital technology in film making as so many of his fellow directors believe that a movie MUST be shot on film and MUST be shown in a movie theater. But Lynch acknowledges that it's a digital world now and there are plenty of pluses to the new approaches.
I have to say I'm not a huge fan of Lynch's films, I found Mulholland Drive to be really interesting and Blue Velvet was great, but Lost Highway was totally lost on me. So certainly pick this up if you love his work.
