Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity

Visionary filmmaker, musician, and actor David Lynch's bestselling reflection on meditation and creativity--featuring interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr

David Lynch's Catching the Big Fish has been celebrated for being "as close as Lynch will ever come to an interior shot of his famously weird mind" (Rocky Mountain News). In this 10th anniversary edition, Lynch dives deeper into the creative process and the benefits of Transcendental Meditation with the addition of his exclusive q-and-a interviews with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

The musicians open up to Lynch about their artistry, history, and the benefits they have experienced, artistically and personally, from their decades-long practice of Transcendental Meditation--a technique that they and their fellow Beatles helped popularize in the 1960s.

Catching the Big Fish is a revelation for all want to understand Lynch's personal vision. And it is equally compelling for any who wonder how they can nurture their own creativity.
