Synopsis

In Your Mind – The Infinite Universe of Yoko Ono is the true story of the woman John Lennon loved—an immersive, detailed journey into the life, art, music and philosophy of one of the most innovative and misunderstood figures of the modern era. More than a biography, this 600-page book is the ultimate reference to Ono's life and work, weaving her love story with Lennon through vivid storytelling and deep insight, including Ono's relationship to the Beatles. The author, who has followed Yoko's career since the mid-1960s, draws on rare insights and a vast personal media archive, letting Yoko's own voice (and those of Lennon and many others) tell an undeniably true and astonishing story that dismantles longstanding myths. Yoko Ono is an avant-garde artist, fearless activist, musician and lifelong advocate for peace. This book goes beyond the myths to reveal her conceptual universe, exploring the prejudice she endured as an Asian woman married to a Beatle, and the wisdom and strength that carried her through unimaginable loss. Tracing her journey from a lonely wartime childhood in Japan to the 1960s New York Fluxus art scene, the book shows how trauma and possibility shaped her conceptual and performance art—works that invite the audience to imagine, participate and co-create. You'll follow her groundbreaking solo music and her collaborations with Lennon in the Plastic Ono Band, through the shimmering 1960s and turbulent 1970s, when their love became a global call for peace. Her life after Lennon's murder—protecting his legacy while continuing her own extraordinary output—is examined with empathy and accuracy. At its heart, this is a meditation on creativity itself. Yoko Ono's work insists that art is not bound by walls or mediums—it lives in the mind, heals the heart and invites everyone to be both artist and activist. Whether you're a devoted admirer or just curious, this book will change the way you see Yoko Ono—and maybe even the way you see the world.
