One of the most entertaining and readable Beatles books that's out there. The thesis is simple in a way "John and Paul were very close." But the details are what's fun. This is a biography of a relationship, told through the songs they made. He's pas ...more

Quotes by Will Hines  (?)

“The hard truth is often simply: learn to act like a normal person.”
Will Hines, How To Be The Greatest Improviser On Earth

“Yin and Yang Another way to think about the top of the scene is with the Taoist principles of yin and yang. Yin is passive, patient, empathetic, malleable. It is akin to a “yes.” Yang is active, assertive, decisive, altering. It is akin to an “and.” After a series of small moves that simply confirm information without adding a lot, it’s time for a “yang” move: make a decision, add some information. But once someone makes a big “yang” move, then it’s time for a simple “yin” response. Confirm and unpack what was just added. Even a beat of silence is a good idea.”
Will Hines, How to Be The Greatest Improviser on Earth
