Author: Steve Taylor
It would be an understatement to say that there was something special about the Beatles. How did these four young musicians come together at the perfect time, and how did everything go so perfectly right for them that they became arguably the greatest band — and one the most significant cultural phenomena — that the world has ever seen? Was it simply a series of lucky coincidences, or could there be a larger reasonfor their success?Steve Taylor, a renowned scholar of psychology and spirituality, and former professional musician, retells the story of the Beatles through the lens of their own creativity: from the unparalleled synchronicities and synergy that generated their success, to the ideal flow state they cultivated as a group, the relentless self-actualisation of each of the members, and how they opened their minds to connect to the zeitgeist of the 1960s, to both access their own intrinsic creativity and become transmitters of a creative energy that transcended themselves.This is the story of the Beatles from an entirely new angle, and is an appreciation of the psychological, spiritual, and cultural forces they harnessed to access their own genius. Wildly enjoyable and packed full of surprising insights into the Beatles’ journey,Across the Universe is an invitation to experience the Beatles’ brilliance anew.
