In recent months, the oddball auteur behind Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet has been stumping for his spiritual discipline of choice, Transcendental Meditation. In January, he'll issue a book on the practice, which critics deride as an Eastern-flavored cousin to Scientology and Kabbalah.

Lynch makes no secret that Catching the Big Fish is a tool to win converts. "The book is about his commitment to Transcendental Meditation and his wish to spread his beliefs in what it can accomplish," says his editor, Mitch Horowitz.
