In true Lynchian fashion, David free flows in a rambling albeit disjointed manner, bouncing from thought to memory to idea to advice within the same breath. It all makes its way to and from the meditation that has charged him for years. I recommend him reading this quick informative novel to you instead of reading the written word, especially if you are a fan.

Interesting tour of an interesting mind. I was hoping for more direct applicability to my TM practice. Good for those interested in filmmaking or considering TM.

Great read on TM. Lynch can make anything sound poetic even if he doesn't have the best way with words sometimes; it's his ideas that are attractive. Wish there was a little more substance though, it feels like I'm reading a collection of thought-bytes instead of a book.

What a bonkers book.
I’ll have to look up the TM fund that he supports with his name.

I’m sure meditation and relaxation would help people in high stress environments but what a bonkers notion it is to believe that it’s a solution to any of the stressors (poverty/racism/misogyny/transphobia/war/inequality/inequity) other than a soothing balm.

Exactly what you’d expect from Lynch, and a lovely treat if you approach it in this way. Don’t go into this thinking it’s an instruction manual.
