What made the Beatles so extraordinary? The secrets of their genius, celebrated and explained by a leading psychologist.
There has never been a band like the Beatles. How did these four young musicians come together at exactly the right moment, and how did everything fall into place so perfectly that they became the most innovative and successful band that the world has ever seen, and a cultural phenomenon that still shapes the world today? Was it simply a series of lucky coincidences, or were there larger reasons for 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 creativity. He explores the synchronicities and synergy that generated their success, and the flow state they cultivated as a group, their relentless self-development, and their spontaneous and prolific creativity. He shows how their transpersonal creativity elevated them above their peers, and how they opened their minds to connect to the spirit of the 1960s, becoming transmitters of a creative energy that transcended themselves.
Across the Universe is a thrilling new look at the psychological, cultural, and spiritual forces behind the Beatles' genius. Wildly enjoyable, and packed full of surprising insights into the Beatles' story, this is an invitation to experience the Beatles' brilliance anew.
