A revelatory primer on what it means to be human and a mind-opening guide of initiation into the central thriller of existence, by “maybe the foremost interpreter of Jap disciplines for the modern West” (Los Angeles Occasions).
On the root of human battle is our elementary misunderstanding of who we’re. The phantasm that we’re remoted beings, unconnected to the remainder of the universe, has led us to view the “outdoors” world with hostility, and has fueled our misuse of expertise and our violent and hostile subjugation of the pure world. To assist us perceive that the self is in truth the foundation and floor of the universe, Alan Watts gives us with a much-needed reply to the issue of non-public id, distilling and adapting the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta.
