Non-Fiction Philosphy
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?
