  In 2006, Lynch wrote a short book, Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness, and Creativity, which describes his creative processes, stories from his career, and the benefits he realized from his practice of Transcendental Meditation. He describes the metaphor behind the title in the introduction:
  
  Ideas are like fish.
  
  If you want to catch little fish, you can stay in the shallow water. But if you want to catch the big fish, you've got to go deeper.
  
  Down deep, the fish are more powerful and more pure. They're huge and abstract. And they're very beautiful.
  
  The book weaves a nonlinear autobiography with descriptions of Lynch's experiences during Transcendental Meditation. Lynch also narrated it in an audiobook.
  
  Working with Kristine McKenna, Lynch published a biography-memoir hybrid, Room to Dream, in June 2018.
