Since John Lennon composed "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in early 1967, fans and music critics alike have argued over the meaning of the song. Is it about drugs? Is it just a lyrical response to a drawing given Lennon by his 4-year-old son Julian? Is there some deeper meaning? Professor Tim Kasser goes beyond speculative explanations by applying innovative psychological methods to the song's lyrics and music. He deeply analyzes the song's linguistic structure, its basic theme, and the way its words and music had been used by Lennon in earlier songs.

Alla paura, la più antica delle emozioni, dobbiamo quella risposta istintiva che ha contribuito per millenni alla nostra sopravvivenza. Anche se non dobbiamo più sfuggire ai predatori, saper fiutare il pericolo continua a essere una risorsa preziosa e aver paura è una reazione salutare che ci prepara all'azione. A seconda dei casi, la risposta più intelligente può essere la lotta, la fuga, l'astuto aggiramento del pericolo o una sua riconversione in chiave creativa e positiva.

Por trás de todos os tormentos humanos, existe uma relação conflituosa com o aspecto sexual. Esta é uma das crenças de Sigmund Freud, o pai da psicanálise e um dos teóricos mais influentes do século XX.
