It lacks only in length and maybe dramatic build up. though the message that it seems to carry will probably make me appreciate it even more the next time I read it with more insight in meditation and my next film being finished.Regards.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good intro into Lynchs mindBy Joseph NevinDavid Lynch is my personal hero. and reading a bit about his mindset TM is fascinating. Short stories about little things that dont seem to matter. but they do. Love this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. David does his own audio on the unabridged CD recordingBy RodneyDavid does a great job reading his own book. I saw him at a TM meeting in Beverly Hulls and was so impressed with the fact that he had not missed a day of meditation in 42 years and he credits his great life and creativity to TM. Loved the quick vinyettes about his life and his TM practice. So easy to understand and listen to his explanations of how TM works.
